How to add Event Listings to a Zid store

Embed Event Listings on Zid

01

Create a Event Listings widget for Zid on Common Ninja

First, create a Zid Event Listings widget on Common Ninja. On the widgets catalog, find the Event Listings and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Event Listings widget

When you're done creating the Event Listings widget, click on the Save Changes button at the right top corner of the editor. If you don't have an account on Common Ninja, you'll have to register first.

03

Copy the Event Listings Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Event Listings widget to your Zid store, click the Add To Website button at the top bar of the Editor. On the window that opens, click the Copy Icon to copy the widget embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your Zid store.

04

Paste the code to your Zid website’s HTML field.

Next, go to your Zid store editor and find the HTML field. It is most likely in the form of an HTML/Code widget or module which you can find on the Zid’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Event Listings Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Event Listings widget on your Zid store.

05

Alternative Method 1: Through the HTML option in the text’s editing area.

If you can't find the HTML/Code widget or module, there's another way to put Common Ninja’s Event Listings widget on your Zid widget. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your Zid store’s HTML code.

If you're having trouble finding a widget or a special part in your text editor where you can add the Embed Code, you can try a different way to add the Event Listings widget to your Zid store. You can do this by putting it straight into your Zid store's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Event Listings widget when you host multiple events and need a straightforward board style view that focuses on clarity more than calendar layout. Each entry can show title, date, location, and a short description with links to details or registration. This works well for organizations that run talks, meetups, classes, or series where listing format is more intuitive than monthly grids. Visitors can scroll and filter to find events that fit their schedule and interests. A concise, searchable events board reduces friction, improves attendance, and lets your community see at a glance how active and varied your offerings are.
