Event Calendar / Scheduler vs Simple Google Calendar Outlook Events Widget

An easy to implement event calendar plugin built on top of dhtmlxScheduler that provides an Ajax-based scheduling interface similar to Google Calendar. The plugin allows you to manage single or multiple user events, display any type of events and appointments, and put a list of the upcoming events on a side bar. Users can add/edit/delete events on the fly and easily change event date and time by simply dragging the event boxes. You can set up different levels of permissions to people who will use the calendar: make the scheduler read-only or allow a group of users to edit the events through a web-based calendar interface. The calendar can be configured to display events in Day, Week, Month, Agenda, Timeline view, as well as in any custom view. The intuitive admin panel makes it easy to customize the calendar to your needs. You can use the plugin as an event calendar or as archive calendar to display your blog posts archive (in this case it works in read-only mode). Main Features Day, Week, Month, Year, Agenda, Timeline Views The ability to create a custom View Ajax-enabled, intuitive interface Drag-n-drop support to configure event date and time Easy-to-customize Single/multi-day events Customizable time scale Recurring events Configurable access and edit rights Upcoming events widget Localization to more than 20 languages What’s New in 3.0 Week Agenda View Map View (integration with Google Maps) Timeline View Full day event The ability to display event creator Export to/from Google Calendar Built-in export to PDF and iCal WPMU support Requirements PHP 5.0 or greater MySQL 4.0 or greater

Simple block or widget to display events from a public google calendar, microsoft office outlook calendar or an other iCal file, in the style of your website. This simple block/widget fetches events from a public google calendar (or other calendar in iCal format) and displays them in simple list allowing you to fully adapt to your website by applying all kinds of CSS. Google offers some HTML snippets to embed your public Google Calendar into your website. These are great, but as soon as you want to make a few adjustments to the styling, that goes beyond changing some colors, they’re not enough. Plugin Features Calendar block or widget to display appointments/events of a public Google calendar or other iCal file. Block gives live preview in the editor and is not constrained to widget area. Legacy (old) widget will be displayed in legacy widget block only in widget area. Legacy widget works also with Elementor (with some limitations e.g. preview in backend editor is not always available), with SiteOrigin only the legacy widget with no namespace (activate with checkbox in plugin admin screen) works correct. Small footprint, uses only Google ID of the calendar, or ICS link for Outlook, or Url of iCal file, to get event information via iCal Merge more calendars into one block Manage events in Google Calendar, or other iCalendar source. Fully adaptable to your website with CSS. Output in unordered list with Bootstrap 4 listgroup classes and toggle for details. Works with overridable templates to make the layout more flexible. (You need basic knowledge of PHP to use this function effectively.) Choose date / time format in settings screen that best suits your website. Displays per event DTSTART, DTEND, SUMMARY, LOCATION and DESCRIPTION. DTSTART is required other components are optional. Displays most common repeating events. Frequency Yearly, Monthly, Weekly, Dayly (not Hourly, Minutely and smaller periods) Basic support for filter on Categories Warning: MS Outlook does not share categories via iCal now. Google and iCloud calendar don’t support categories at all. So this will not work with these calendars. In the screenshot below: Left the block with default settings and clicked on one summary. Right with some adjusted settings. Adjusted settings for start with summary: Lay-out: Start with summary. Date format first line: “. l jS \o\f F” Enddate format first line: ” – l jS \o\f F” Time format time summary line: ” G:i” Time format end time summary line: ” – G:i” Time format start time: “” Time format end time: “” Tag for summary: “strong” Documentation Gets calendar events via iCal url or google calendar ID Merge more calendars into one block Displays maximum the selected number of events as listgroup-items Displays only events in a selected period with a length of the setting “Number of days after today with events” from now limited by the time of the day or the beginning of the day at the start and the and of the at the end.
