Talk:Google Calendar

From MediaWiki Widgets

I am trying to embed Google Calendar of my hosted domain, example.com I am using app=www.google.com/calendar/hosted/example.com/render

But its giving me white screen, is there something I am missin?

Kindly help!

Did you try adding http:// in front of the parameter? Can you send a link to the test page on your site? --Sergey Chernyshev 18:49, September 26, 2010 (MDT)

private calender from google-apps domain

Hi, I am trying to use a private Calender from a google-apps hosted domain. If I set the calender to public it is no problem to display it (app= parameter is not needed) but as soon as it is not set public (and I would prefer not to share all calender details via google-search) it does not show up. Could you give an example how to use a private calender from a google-app hosted calender thx - Martin C.

i don't think you can embed non-public calendars anywhere - that comes with security as I understand. --Sergey Chernyshev 13:22, January 25, 2011 (MST)

okay - if its not possible bad luck :/. Still i am wondering for what one needs the app parameter as it is possible to display a public calender from a apps-domain without and if there is any use for the pvttk parameter if it is not possible to embed non-public calenders? thx for your quick reply :)

that's good point - It is supposed to work then... --Sergey Chernyshev 17:01, February 17, 2011 (MST)

Calender ID

Hello,

   I figured out that the ID in the example widget code should be changed to @gmail.com instead of "@import.calendar.google.com". Please let me know if that's not the right way to use it. --Nimish

I think if it works, it's fine - I just copied the URL from the calendar settings page. --Sergey Chernyshev 07:59, May 3, 2011 (MDT)

I found that if it is the first calendar of an account, it is blabla@gmail.com. For additional calendars it is something like 7634jkh87345jh456gfsd786@group.calendar.google.com. In both cases just copy the URL. --Clemens 12:10, October 30, 2011 (AST)

Google stopped private url

Take a look at Private HTML button not showing For some reasons, (NOT being security) google decided to stop the private url. As a solotion google proposes to make the calendar public in order to embed it somewhere else (!)

For the time being you still can leave the calendar private. click the XML link, and take the pvttk setting from there. (the number between 'private-' and '/basic')

mmm, seems to work only when i am logged in my account on the same machine... perhaps they indeed stopped the HTML embedding function.... this makes the pvttk setting obsoltete imo...... --Clemens 13:31, October 30, 2011 (AST)

Indeed. see google's decision. Especially point 2 of their reasoning. Cheap way of generating google users. google is starting to be evil. So, it doesn't work anymore.... --Clemens 04:42, October 31, 2011 (AST)
