Google Calendar Widget

Note: This widget does NOT work with WordPress 2.1 and up. Don’t bother trying.

————

I created a new widget for my blog. It’s a simple little thing that shows stuff from my Google Calendar. You can find it as my “Upcoming Events” sidebar, bottom left. Okay, so it doesn’t have much there yet, I need to add stuff to the calendar. )

Anyway, here’s a link to it: gcalendar

If anybody has any suggestions on improving it, I’d love to hear ‘em.

——–

Note: I’ve updated the widget to use Google’s Calendar API properly. But in order to do that, I had to modify Wordpress’s built in MagpieRSS functions rather heavily. So read the readme.txt file for installation instructions before attempting to use it. Failure to install correctly will break your blog. Heck, it might do that anyway. So read carefully. )

    Brian: Probably not anytime soon, no. WordPress has been damnably slow in revamping their RSS reader support. I’ve been trying to introduce better code into the WordPress core so that the rss-functions hacking is not required, but I’m not having much luck.

  2. carl Says:

    Sorry if people have asked this before me. But does the new WP 2.3 version change the situation, in terms of updating this plugin? If maybe the rss-support have improved or something like that?
    thanks

  3. Björn Says:

    Would like to know that too :-)

    help me out?

  5. darkon Says:

    I installed everything according to the readme.txt but it won´t show any dates, just the headline. :(

    If i change it to show a monthly calender, i get a lot of “Invalid argument supplied for foreach()…” in lines: 329 and 441

  6. darkon Says:

    nevermind, just noticed, that this widget wont work with 2.3.1

    you should disable download for it if it won´t work with an actual release.

  7. JJ Says:

    Works fine for me in WP 2.3.2

    Thank you!

  8. Steven Says:

    The plugin is great, I love it. Thanks for your work!

    I’m wondering, though, if there’s any way to pull repeating events from google calendar? Right now it skips right over those.

    Or even to specifically display only those events that repeat?

    Thanks!

    -Steven

  9. jwise Says:

    It would be wonderful if I could enter multiple calendars. For example, if I have a google calendar for Work, Home, and Church, I’d love it to grab events off of all those calendars and then merge them, or perhaps show:

    Work
    event
    event

    Home
    event
    event

    etc.

  10. Josh Meyer Says:

    I second the motion to support multiple calendars.
