# Displaying shared calendars

 * Hi
 * We have a (main) calendar we use with 4 other calendars that are shared with 
   it and set to ‘See all event details’ in the calendar settings on Google. This
   works fine when displaying the calendar via an iframe. However, when displaying
   in this widget, only the events in the main calendar are being displayed – no
   events from the shared calendars come through. The ‘Google Calendar ID’ I’m using
   in the ‘Feed Settings’ is for the main calendar.
 * Is it possible to display events from shared calendars?
 * Thanks, Mark

 * it possibly depends on the response Google sends or with individual privacy settings
   of all calendars which should be public – but if you display them in a iframe
   they could be – or if they’re not maybe you only can see them because you’re 
   logged in?)
 * a workaround could be creating multiple calendars with the plugin, then mixing
   them together – currently this is only possible via shortcode using a comma separated`
   id="1,2,3"` attribute. (This is going to change in a upcoming version and users
   can create calendars made of multiple calendars from different sources, without
   relying much on shortcodes).

 * Hi Fulvio
 * Thank you so much – I’ve created multiple feeds and just added them, comma separated,
   into the widget. Worked perfectly.
 * Thanks again, Mark

 * Glad it worked out
 * There’s an upcoming version – which I’m going to post about soon, so people can
   grab a copy to try out – which this behaviour is changed a bit, but in a better
   way
 * basically the shortcode and the widget won’t support adding multiple IDs in that
   way, and actually for the widget you won’t need to copy and paste an ID, but 
   select a calendar you want to display, from a dropdown with titles. This won’t
   eliminate the possibility to use mashed calendars, there will be a new ‘feed 
   type’ or events source as we are going to call it called ‘grouped calendars’.
   So you will first create a new calendar of this kind and adjust the settings 
   for that calendar, then choose which calendars it has to blend together. This
   allows for more control and clarity. Then you create a widget and tell the widget
   to display that particular calendar which is a collection of calendars. The same
   goes for adding calendars to posts or pages, actually there will be a way to 
   add those even without a shortcode, less confusion and more clean post content.
   Sounds a long thing, but it will be very straightforward.
 * Stay tuned on this forum later this day to read about the new version and how
   to grab a copy if you’re interested

 * Thanks for the info Fulvio.
 * Sounds like a great addition to the plugin.
 * Look forward to implementing it!
 * Thanks, Mark
