The WordPress content management system (CMS) works well with Trumba® to provide your site visitors access to Trumba's highly customizable calendars (and other spuds) and promote your new events. For more information, go to Get Started 3: Spuds, publishing, and integrating calendars.
Tip WordPress is only one of several CMS platforms into which you can integrate Trumba calendars and other spuds. For example, Trumba customers are successfully using Microsoft® Office SharePoint®, Drupal™, Active CMS, CMS Made Simple™, Autonomy TeamSite, OpenText, Plone® 4, Ektron, Pagefarm, Ingeniux, and other content management systems. For more information, contact Customer Support.
If you're new to WordPress, you'll soon learn about its strength in customizability. For more information, go to WordPress Support - Customize.
Note that you'll need to publish your Trumba spud code to a website that allows running scripts, as Trumba uses JavaScript to display spuds (and deliver event information). For details, go to WordPress and JavaScript.
The Trumba team built the calendars, sub-calendars, spuds, and set of representative events used on the Trumba University demo site in the Trumba editing environment, and then integrated the spud code within the WordPress CMS to construct the site.
If you try to enter spud code into a post on a WordPress blog that is hosted by WordPress.com, the only thing that displays in your blog is the text for the spud code.
Blogs hosted on WordPress.com do not support JavaScript, and the WordPress software deletes script tags from your posts. They do this for security reasons, which you can read about on the wordpress.com site and in their support forums.
If you've downloaded WordPress software from the WordPress.org website (a different site from wordpress.com) and set it up on your own host, you may be able to add spud code to posts as long as you turn off the rich editor. Learn more in the WordPress documentation about using JavaScript.
Trumba customers who host WordPress have successfully included spuds in their websites using the Enhanced Text Widget plugin. You can download this plugin from WordPress.org at https://wordpress.org/plugins/enhanced-text-widgets/.
