    Hey Guy’s,
    I am have created a new Church website and am needing to integrate our Google Calendar. I have installed the Google Calendar Feed Parser plugin in order to have events shown in my sidebar. However, it is asking for a feed url. Can someone tell me where I get that from?

    Also, can someone walk me through how to have the calendar show on a calendar page within the blog site?

    Thanks…

  • Google has lots of help on their apps like Calendar. The Calendar Feed Parser plugin site does, too.

    I found someone who used their email address like this:

    http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/yoursite@gmail.com/public/full

    and it worked for them. So, I will try this.

    P.S. I have disected the GFP plugin site and I guess that I am just not getting what they are saying. I am needing a little hand holding with this one.

    Looks like you need to stick parameters on the end of the URL, like this general set:

    http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/yoursite@gmail.com/public/full?orderby=starttime&sortorder=ascending&futureevents=true&singleevents=true

    Also, you might have problems depending in your web host, if they have disabled URL access for security reasons and as a result you’ll get PHP errors.

    songdogtech,
    Thank you very much. This worked perfectly.

    In addition, the “WordPress Google Calendar Feed Parser Plugin with Widget” from Rob Z (located here: http://www.techknowme.com/blog/2009/06/download-rob-zs-widgetized-wordpress-google-calendar/) worked flawlessly for me and it allowed me to use widgets instead.

    I could not get any of the Google Calendar or iCAL widgets working with the current Google calendar using WordPress 2.8.4, including this one. I did however finally get this working:

    …using Feedburner for the “basic” google calendar feed, activate Buzzboost to drop the RSS into a Text Widget. That way you can also filter out the Event Status: Confirmed stuff, by modifying the Buzzboost script with excerptLength=5, which is the Title and Date only…
