Drupal 6.x Webcal

I'll second the motion!!
The Webcal Module rocks but is the only thing holding me back from upgrading to 6.x.

After a little experimentation I've discovered that the webcal module isn't really needed - at least to support a page in Drupal that defines an "iframe" that points to an installation of webcalendar. By using an "iframe" statement and the necessary size settings for the frame, you can post a page of "webcalendar" without having the webcal module loaded. Works like a charm.

techgy, do you have an example of this? I'm trying to do something similar with drupal 6. thanks.

Paste into a page-node the following code:

<p><iframe src="/drupal/webcalendar/month.php" id="webcal" style="width: 100%; height: 720px;" frameborder="0"><p>Sorry your browser doesn't support iframes's.</p></iframe></p>

PS my 6.2 site is a subdir (fiselier.mooo.com/drupal) of my 5.7 site (fiselier.mooo.com). I installed the webcalendar (the original program) in "fiselier.mooo.com/webcalendar" but decided to copy that whole dir to "fiselier.mooo.com/drupal/webcalendar" as well.
My upgrade path will be to fully delete the 5.7 site and copy all 6.2 content up the tree...

thanks, Frank. I appreciate it. I went to take a look at your calendar, but I guess your site is restricted access.

hey, you might be interested in reading this about using drupal in a subdirectory: http://drupal.org/node/144643

Sorry,

I've been so busy that I hadn't revisited this site to check on responses.
Frank has the idea. Just set up an "iframe" statement with the parameters to set the frame size.
I don't know what the webcal module is supposed to be providing, but I found that it's really not necessary.
If you have the "webcal" program installed on your server then all you really need is a link to it.

Think we're missing the user synchronisation when we're not using the integration module.
In my limited user environment that's no problem, but when handling lot's of users double user management might become problematic.

Hopefully the maintainer of this module will give it some spare time...

I'd be happy to test it, but since it's been over a month since I posted the original support request, it's not looking good. The work-a-round functions for me (Iframe).

Moved to Wordpress so I could get a useful calendar... :-(

Was fun while it lasted.

The excellent insertFrame module:

http://drupal.org/project/insertFrame

provides another iframe option for webcalendar.

insertFrame auto re-sizes and the main calendar displays just fine. I noticed a few little display problems in some of the config pages when the iframe would not expand to the length of the whole form but this can be worked around.
