I have released my first wordpress plugin. It allows a user to take the public shared calendar feed from goodle calendar and display it in a useful fashion on their wordpress blog.
You can see the result of the plugin here: my calendar
you can download it here: gcal.tar.gz
read about it more here: plugin page
Let me know if you have any suggestions or any bugs. Feel free to leave comments or email me at harper @ nata2.org.
Awesome.

1Really sweet gcal plugin, I had it working for a while, and it still works, just not all of my upcomging events show anymore. I’m just starting to play around with wordpress. Any ideas? THanks

2Just wanted to let you know that I got it working again. I had to reinstall the plugin and clear out gcal records in the mysql database, but now my dates are showing a day behind of the actual event. Ex. A birthday that is May 21, will show for May 20th. It seems that an all day event in gcal would be inputted as 2006-05-21 to 2006-05-22 with no time value attached to it, not sure why it would be a day behind. If you have a non-all-day event with a time value, it works great. Are you having the same problem? If not, how would I go about fixing it? Thanks

4I know this plugin is still under development but I cannot get it to pull *any* of my data from Google.
see here:

Also, I tried the sidebar code as well and, strangely, only one item showed.
Everything is properly ’shared’ and I am stumped as to how to fix this! Please help! This plugin looks sweet and I’d love for it to become my only calendar on my blog!
Please contact me with any questions and many thanks in advance!

5I am looking for something much like this for a new website I’m putting together… great job!
I tried gcal, it kind of worked… had some trouble with getting all the events to show… but my main problem is that it broke my lightbox. I am using lightbox to view photos on the site and this quit working altogether… don’t know what the problem is. Any ideas?

6Hi, the plugin sounds cool, but I can’t quite get it to work…
I followed the installation instructions as far as “Go to the options->gcal”.
My Options->gcal link points to /wp-admin/gcal/gcal.php. When infact gcal.php is in /wp-content/plugins/gcal.php. But if I type in that URL directly I get “Fatal error: Call to undefined function: is_plugin_page() …”
Any suggestions?

10What I want to do on my blog, is every few hours take the oldest post and move it to the
front of the queue, all automatically. Anyone know if there is a plugin that can do this or
a simple way to set up another plugin to do this (use my own feed perhaps)?
Thanks.

11I’m trying to download your excellent plugin - but getting a “server not found” error.
Not sure if it is’ my side or yours. I’ll wait till I get into the office to recheck - but you might wanna see if your end is also up’n running.
Tanx!
