[Snippet] Calendar - based on Google Cal, SimplePie

Really? No one else is having an issue with the time changing at Daylight Saving Time?

NEVERMIND - I’m an idiot. A little poking around in google calendar and I found the setting. I apologize for being dense. It’s just the way I was made!

I see several people have asked this before - how do you change the language so the names of the months are for example in Swedish instead of English? Anyone manage to work it out?

How would I enable showing links in the [+description+]?

Tags that I put into the Google Calendar description field are encoded in the output, like this:



I would like to keep it as a clickable link instead.

For anyone trying to change the start and end times into 24hr format, here’s how I did it.

In calendar.inc.php, change line 103 to:
’startHour’ => date(’H’, $startDate - $offset),

change line 109 to:
’endHour’ => date(’H’, $endDate - $offset),

First of all - I love this snippet, especially with the iCal template! I have a few more issues I need to resolve however to make it work for my client:

- In list view, it seems only events in the current month are displayed. I tried &limit=`100` but it makes no difference. Any clues?

- In calendar view, events that span over several days are only displayed in the calendar on the day they start, unlike Google’s own calendar where all the event days are "hightlighted". Is there any way of fixing this?

Hey Mike,

What did you do to fix the daylight savings time issue?

You can get this by setting Repeats: Daily and an end day.
For another question you had, I use a MODx plugin (OnParseDocument) to str_replace weekdays etc. to a different language

I also have my templates as chunks almost as @kc64 did it.

Oh cool, thanks mrhaw! Solved my issues with the month names and the event that spans over several days in iCal mode.

However, it created a new problem for when I’m showing the same calendar in list mode - now the same event is repeated every day for the whole duration...

I also still have the issue of the list view only showing events in the current month, and links in the descriptions not coming out right.

PS. Tack för tipset om att modifiera inläggen istället. Ska tänka på det

Works great in default mode until I click an event link in the calendar and the google detail page appears--the date is correct but the time is 7 hours later. Event time appears correct on the calendar itself, just not on the google detail page. Offset only seems to affect the calendar time, not the time on the google detail page.

This example (http://www.eastonlodge152.com/lodgeevents) posted earlier shows a similar error, only 5 hrs in this case--compare the calendar event time with the google detail page. [edit: OK, now I see the google detail page is defaulting to GMT instead of the correct time zone; anyone know how to fix this?]

Sorry, but why would anyone use this snippet over the google iframe? Clicking on an event link in the iframe produces a nice popup window with event details. In this snippet, clicking a calendar event link takes the user to the google detail page, then the user has to back button in order to return to the calendar. Seems a lot to give up for just customizing the appearance of the calendar.

Please kindly correct me if I’m missing something here.

@loottar (and @puffin)
I don’t use the listings but the mini calender with cool modal boxes

That is just ONE example of what you WIN.

// Then I show manager users a google button, clicking it will pre-set the GCalender fields
with MODx TV values for the event.
