Finesse the embed code
Click the Generate Embed Code button.
Copy the code in the Widget Embed Code box and paste in Word or other text editor. You can also paste it directly into the widget spreadsheet, but this may be easier as a beginner.
We need to make 2 changes to this code: Remove the Localist branding and add a start date.
Remove the Localist footer by removing the code formatted with the strikethrough:
You will be left with something that looks like this:
Add a start date, which prevents past dates from falling off. Apply the format “&start=YYYY-MM-DD” as follows. The added code is highlighted.
Use the following convention for the start dates:
Fall - YYYY-08-01
Fall Med - YYYY-05-01
Spring - YYYY-01-01
Summer - YYYY-04-01
If you did your editing in Word or other text editor, copy and paste the final code in the widget spreadsheet. Repeat for all PoT lists you need.
