integrating google calendar
So the event calendar plugin leaves a lot to be desired. That's fine, nothing I've seen beats Google calendar anyway.
What would be the best way to integrate Google calendar in an Elgg site? In my case, I need user to access one page where one Google calendar is embedded using the code below. A plugin that has this page, and its link appear in the tools menu would be great. But since I don't how to do that, I simply tried placing the embed code in a page of the user-wide group. This didn't work either. I have tinymce, but either the html function doesn't accept iframes, or I am doing something wrong. Here is the code:
<iframe src="//www.google.com/calendar/embed?title=Chapter%20Calendar&showTitle=0&height=300&wkst=1&bgcolor=%23ffffff&src=t5btapp1ip661kjq8qr98ks66o%40group.calendar.google.com&color=%23A32929&ctz=America%2FChicago" style=" border-width:0 " width="650" height="300" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>
Any ideas? I'd like to solve the timymce problem, but I figured any suggestions on Google calendar integration would benefit the community. So feel free..
thanks
Elgg PlugIn: xGadgets.
Paste the following code into xGadgets widget and make sure your height is 400px, and make sure that your logged into your google account so you have access to your events.
Sorry, here's the code:
Well that didn't work. Let's try again.
<script src="http://www.gmodules.com/ig/ifr?url=http://www.google.com/ig/modules/calendar3.xml&up_calendarFeeds=&up_calendarColors=&up_firstDay=0&up_dateFormat=0&up_timeFormat=1%3A00pm&up_showDatepicker=1&up_hideAgenda=0&up_showEmptyDays=0&up_showExpiredEvents=1&synd=open&w=320&h=500&title=__MSG_Google_Calendar__&lang=en&country=ALL&border=%23ffffff%7C3px%2C1px+solid+%23999999&output=js"></script>
That didn't either. Here's the link to get the script yourself for "The Official Google Calendar Gadget".

yeah, i've heard about that.
But i need something that allows everyone to see my single google calendar.
as i said before, tinymce pages should be able to handle that, but as far as i have tried, they can't
"But i need something that allows everyone to see *****my single google calendar."
you have a URL where we can see this in browser ?
yeah, it was in the op embed code, but here it is again:
earlier code had-- src="//www.google.com/calendar ==>missing http:// ;-)
the view link here works oki -BUT i tested w/ iframe from my server
http://www.ensci.us/Google%20Calendar%20Embed.html --- try and do do view source
--> no can do ;-( --
google says
"FBLA
could pull w/ http Request and then re display html using php file_get-contents instead of iframe -- might work ok.. or (better) do a widget or plugin w/ same sorta php code.
works for me - http://www.lomirafbla.org/caltest.html
but like I said, a page on elgg, tinymce enabled, doesn't like it. I press edit HTML, I copy it in, then nothing shows up. I press edit HTML again, and nothing is there. I try any other HTML, and it works.
perhaps a solution would be a very simple plugin that creates a page (www.elggsite.com/calendar) with the calendar iframe there, and then a link in the tools menu.
i don't know where to begin for that, sadly
