Greetings Christine!
I am having a similar problem, albeit far more primary as I am a newbie.
1) Where did you place the XML URL you retrieved from your Google Calanedar? In the page? In the code of the page? I can’t seem to get mine to work…might be I don’t know where to paste the URL from my Google Calendar…
2) I see your calendar is up – how did you resolve the problem?
many thanks!

I gave up and just use the Google Events Calendar plug-in.
🙂 I did the same. 🙂
Thank you for taking the time to reply!

Can both of you try the latest version and see if that solves your problem. I just updated it with a fix. I hope that it fixes your problem. I am able to get it to work with my localhost. If it doesn’t work then it is probably a problem with google settings for your xml feed. Also I have noticed that if there is any white space at the end of an xml link or if the calendar name is left blank then that can cause an error. Please do not put any spaces into the calendar name or in the xml feed text boxes.
Thanks,
Brandon
It still doesn’t work. Just tried it.

I haven’t had any problems. Can you please verify your browser and version and what hardware device you are using? I would make sure pop up blocker is off and that your firewall is not blocking it. I would also make sure javascript is enabled in the browsers you are testing it in. Try Chrome, firefox, ie, safari and see which ones work and please let me know. I would like to replicate the problem so that I can debug the situation. Probably a browser error or something to do with antivirus/pop up blocker.
Mine wasn’t working, then I read this thread and put in a calendar name.
Cerzky, great plugin, but I think if you make it clear that the calendar name is required you’ll have more success. Also, the default view radio button works, but after I save the settings the radio buttons go blank again. It would be nice if it showed which one was currently selected.
Suggestions:
1. Make it totally responsive (especially the header area)
2. Make the event details pop-up in the page instead of going to the source calendar event. Then include a “more details” link that goes to the full source calendar event. That would keep more people on my site.
Thank you!

Kenny,
Thanks for the suggestions. I did not notice that I had left some of the prototype code in version 1.5 which was non-functional. I commented the code out and added some slight tips under the shortcode section. I am still in the process of coming up with a default view option, I just haven’t gotten around to programming all of the functionality yet. I am working to allow the Header to show the calendar name as well. Please be patient.
Thanks
Part of the problem I ran into is that Calendar Name field directly correlates to the id entry in the short code – I think. So if I try to name my calendar “Acme Events” then using the recommended shortcode of [fcal id=”1″] get’s me nothing. One would assume since you used “Calendar 1” and “Calendar 2” headings those mapped to the id stored in the db. Might help with some of the confusion.

The short code and calendar name are totally different. The calendar name is just a way to remind you what type of xml feeds you have saved into your calendar. Please do not put any spaces into the calender name or ‘white space’ because I have not fixed the bug which breaks the calendar if you do so.Try “AcmeEvents” instead of “Acme Events”. I have not did anything with a header yet and the calendar name. Please use [fcal id=”1″] for calendar 1 and [fcal id=”2″] for calendar 2. Please do not leave the calendar name blank either. Remember no spaces!
Thanks
