Two event blocks, configured differently

GCal Events is a module which will display a block of upcoming events. The source for the events is a google calendar xml feed.

Features

  • Can read from public or private google calendar
  • Multiple (unlimited?) blocks can be set up, each configured independently
  • Date/Time display format can be configured
  • Timezone can be configured (PHP 5.1 and higher)
  • Display uses templates, so each item (title, location, date, description, url, etc) can be configured for each block. Very flexible and powerful!
  • Customizable "footer" to include brief information about the calendar ("provided by so-and-so", "updated weekly", a link to the full calendar, ical feed link, etc)
  • Customizable "no upcoming events" text to display when no events are coming up.
  • Recurring events are now handled!
  • "Today Only" option at the block-level

Installation

  1. untar into modules directory (sites/all/modules)
  2. Download SimplePie (http://simplepie.org/)
  3. Copy simplepie.inc into the modules/gcal_events directory
  4. Create a cache directory that is writeable by the webserver (defaults to modules/gcal_events/cache)
  5. Create an input filter to use for gcal_events (I recommend calling it gcal_events). You will most likely want this input filter to be accessible to anonymous users.
  6. Make sure to select this new input filter in the gcal events module configuration.
