Integrating Google Calendar with Drupal 6.x

Posted by chumley on September 5, 2008 at 2:56pm

I'm attempting to move a couple sites run phpnuke and joomla to drupal. One thing those sites do is pull in the Google calendar via a page "wrapper". I'm trying to figure out the best way to pull in the Google calendar into Drupal. I want to use the Google calendar as the primary calendar and don't need to store the data on the Drupal site unless there is some reason that my newbieness doesn't see. I've installed the Calendar module and associated Views module, but am not sure if it will allow for pulling in external ical feeds, or if this is the best approach to take. Has anyone done something like this?

Hi, I think the calendar module:
http://drupal.org/project/calendar
will import/export ical. I'd start there...

Thanks Matt. I have that

Thanks Matt. I have that installed. Unfortunately, it isn't obvious to me how to include an ical feed.

other module

it looks, from the module's tar file, that calendar_ical is a different module that you'll need to enable separately? Make any sense?

I have three calendar

I have three calendar modules listed, Calendar, Calendar iCal, and Calendar Popup. These were installed with the "Calendar module". Calendar and Calendar iCal are enabled. Calendar Popup is not.
Thanks.

the handbook for the module suggest that the ical settings should be at: admin/settings/calendar.

Thanks for your reply. I don't see the calendar listed on the Administer page. Hmmm.

Hmmm.... As I'm not familiar with the module, not sure I can help any further. I don't have a test site I can install on at the mo - Sorry! If you're happy to give me the site address and usrname/password with sufficient permissions to see the relevant pages, I don't mind taking a look.

Mail me at matt [at] illuminateict [dot] org [dot] uk

Or, can anyone else help?

Matt

Thanks. I'm a little

Thanks. I'm a little apprehensive about doing that. Besides, being a newbie, I'm not sure how to set permissions correctly. I'll see what I can figure out and get back with you soon. Thanks so much.

I dunno. I'm running drupal 6.4 with Calendar module 6.x-2.0-rc1. Looking over the docs, it seems that there is a link missing in the admin section.

I put the Google calendar on

I put the Google calendar on a page in an iframe and I think that will work.
