Help:Google Calendar

From QED

Jump to: navigation, search

Both public and private Google calendars can be embedded on QED pages.

To make a Google calendar public, or to ensure that it is public, go to the calendar page, and press the "down arrow" button to the right of the calendar, and then select "Share this calendar".

Public Calendars

To embed a public Google Calendar on a QED page:

  1. Go to the calendar page
  2. Press the "down arrow" button to the right of the calendar, and select "Calendar settings"
  3. In the Calendar Address: row, select the HTML button
  4. In the popup window, select configuration tool, which will allow you to customize and preview the appearance
  5. Copy the HTML to your clipboard, and then copy it into a QED page
  6. Make any tweaks to the HTML, e.g. you might wish to add "align=left" (as illustrated below)
  7. Surround the HTML element with <html> and </html> tags
  8. Save the QED page

The result will look something like this in the editor:

<html>
<iframe align=left src="http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=12fnns9bc2soq7d2rd82ot5i7o%40group.calendar.google.com&height=614"
style="border-width:0" width="640" frameborder="0" height="614"></iframe>
</html>

When rendered, the above HTML generates this calendar:


Private Calendars

A private calendar can be embedded on a QED page, but some care will be required to keep it "private" since currently, anyone who can view the QED page will also be able to view the calendar's "private address".

To embed a private calendar, follow the steps above, but instead of Step 3, press the HTML button in the "Private Address" row.

If you want a private Google calendar for your own use only, you can use the {{Restricted:User}} tag on one of your User: pages. See Restricted:User for details.

See also Google Calendar Private Address for further details.
