This is an auto-generated support/comment thread for GoogleEvents.

Use this forum to post any comments about this addition or any questions you have regarding its use.

Brief Description:
Will display information from your Google Calendar in a list and/or calendar format Fully customizable with Chunks and CSS.

Known Issues:

This snippet has trouble correctly finding the "Where" information. I am likely going to completely overhaul this snippet on 1/9/07, and hopefully will have solved that issue. However, it might lose the ability to do recurring events (I have to look into a solution for that). FIXED (Hopefully) - http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,8563.msg60320.html#msg60320

I find this snippet is a great idea. However, I can’t use it...
I always obtain as a result:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '<' in D:\xampp\htdocs\modx\manager\includes\document.parser.class.inc.php(705) : eval()'d code on line 1

Is anyone able to explain me where I’m wrong?
Thanks

remove <?php from the fist line of the snippet code and ?> from the end if there is one.

I’m still relatively new to snippets and I could really use the event portion of this calendar, would you mind posting some example chunks for the templates?

In your example in your doc, you have the following:

 [!googleEvents?&dayNameSize=`1`&outputType=`both`&maxEvents=`20`&tplFirstRow=`GoogleEvents`&email=`[email protected]`&tplOddRow=`GoogleEventsOdd`&tplEvenRow=`GoogleEventsEven`&tplLastRow=`GoogleEventsLast`&order=`TRUE`!]

What would a &tplFirstRow=`GoogleEvents` chunk look like?

Thanks again for sharing this!

<!-- Text container -->
     <div class="content1-container">
          <a id="titleunderline"></a>
          <div class="content1-container-1col">
		<p class="content-title-shade-size2 bg-red10 txt-white box-on">[+eventNumber+] </p>
		<p class="content-title-shade-size2 bg-red05 txt-white">[+title+]</p>                            
        	<div class="content-txtbox-shade bg-red03">
          	     <p><b>[+startDate+] from [+startTime+] - [+endTime+]</b></p>
                     <p>[+content+]
                 </div>
	  </div>
      </div>

Now of course, I had CSS to style all the classes. But, you just need the placeholders. The stuff that is [+xxxxx+] to grab the information, and place it inside the appropriate HTML to style it as you want.

Hi,

I encounter problems with the snippet ’cause the url doesn’t fit - my Google Cal says it should be
http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/[email protected]/public/basic, not public/full

I modified the snippet accordingly:

$file = 'http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/[email protected]/public/basic?start-min='.date('Y-m-d').'&start-max='.$startMax.'&orderby=starttime';

but I always get

« PHP Parse Error »

PHP error debug
Error: sort() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given
Error type/ Nr.: Warning - 2
File: /var/www/MODx-0.9.1/manager/includes/document.parser.class.inc.php(748) : eval()’d code
Line: 209

Any clues?

Cheers, Frisco

Hi out there,

it’s strange, but the problem was only my gmail adress. I had it in the snippet call, but this wasn’t used, GoogleEvents took always the [email protected] which is in the snippet code. For my understanding it should be overridden, but changing the email-adress in the snippet code solved the problem.

Cheers, Frisco

If the parameter in the call is incorrectly given, it won’t be overridden. Can you paste your call that you are using? Also, the full provides more information than the basic.

Hi Jesse,

yes, I’m using full now, it works. My call is the following:

[!GoogleEvents?dayNameSize=`full`&firstDay=`1`&outputType=`calendar`&tplFirstRow=`GEFirstRow`&calendarType=`wide`&email=`[email protected]`&dateformat=`d.m.Y`&timeformat=`H:i`!]

Cheers, Frisco
