Calendar (googleical) Plug-in for Boltwire

Description

Currently, the plug-in provides a way to list the contents of a Google Calendar, exported using the ICAL format option in an agenda like format.

It displays all entries obtained from the Google Calendar ICAL stream for the calendar you have setup for entries after the days current date.

With multiple calendars, it is possible to have multiple pages for different groups displayed as separate calendar entries.

Download

Available from the Boltwire site in the Extensions section

Calendar Googeical

Basic Install Steps

Installing

Basically, you need to obtain the ICAL feed URL from Google Calendar. Please see the PDF for info on how to do this. Not hard, but you have to find where to get to the settings and stream feed.

Requirement: This plugin assumes the calendar format is in 24 hour time. Future versions will work with both formats.

After you have one setup and ready, install the plugin into the

.../boltwire/farm/plugins

directory and install like other plugins.

Usage

Then create a page or use an existing page and enter in the googleical function like:

[(googleical url="....GOOGLE ICAL URL....")]

The GOOGLE ICAL URL is the one you obtained from the Google Calendar settings page.

CSS Formatting Control

You can enhance the the output of the data by using CSS entries.

#calendar	Contains all the entries
#calendar h1	Contains the summary
#calendar h2	Contains the Date
#calendar h3	Contains the Location if available
#calendar .desc	Contains the Description if available
#calendar .space	Spacing after entry

Future Enhancements

This is an actively developed plugin with future enhancements planned for including a calendar layout with selectable days to an agenda view.
