Legacy Google Calendar Events 2.4

It works for me

Thank you!

Fork of the Google Calendar Events 2.4 WordPress plugin. Intended for backwards compatibility only.

<p>This plugin provides a shortcode and a set of functions to return the number of days since the most recent past event in your Google Calendar matching specified search terms. The shortcode can also be used to return the number of days until the closest upcoming event matching specified search terms.</p>
<h4>The Shortcode</h4>
<pre><code>[gcal-days search="" type="" id=""]
</code></pre>
<p>The shortcode name is <code>gcal-days</code>. It has three attributes, but only one of which is absolutely necessary:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>search</code>: (Required.) The search term.</li>
<li><code>type</code>: (Optional.) The direction in time to search. Defaults to “since”, which searches past events. “until” will search future events.</li>
<li><code>id</code>: (Conditionally optional.) The ID of the calendar to search. You can discover the IDs of calendars via the plugin’s settings page. This shortcode attribute can only be optionally omitted from shortcodes if you define a default calendar in the plugin’s settings.</li>
</ul>
<p>The shortcode outputs a number representing the number of days until a matching event. If no event is found, a -1 will be displayed.</p>
<p>Examples: <code>[gcal-days search="dentist"]</code>, <code>[gcal-days type="until" search="vacation" id="test_lkjsadf987asdf24@group.calendar.google.com"]</code></p>

<h3>Functions</h3>
<p>The plugin provides two functions for use in your theme templates, functions.php, or in plugins.</p>
<h4>Functions</h4>
<ul>
<li><code><?php function gcal_days_since( $search, $calendar_id = '' ) ?></code></li>
<li><code><?php function gcal_days_until( $search, $calendar_id = '' ) ?></code></li>
</ul>
<h4>Arguments</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p><code>$search</code> (string)<br />
Required. The word or phrase to search for</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code>$calendar_id</code> (string)<br />
Optional. The ID for the Google Calendar. Check the plugin’s settings page for calendar IDs. This argument is only optional if you have defined a default calendar via the plugin’s settings.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h4>Return Value</h4>
<p>An integer value of the number of days since/until the matching event. -1 is returned if no event was found or an error was encountered.</p>
<h4>Examples</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p><code><?php // Days until next dentist appointment<br />
$days_until = gcal_days_until( 'dentist' );<br />
?></code></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><code><?php<br />
// Get the days since my last day off<br />
$days_since = gcal_days_since( 'day off' );<br />
// Echo a message using that number<br />
if ( -1 == $days_since ) {<br />
echo "You've never had a day off?! Take one soon!";<br />
} else {<br />
printf( _n( 'Your last day off was %d day ago.', 'Your last day off was $d days ago.', $days_since ), $days_since );<br />
}<br />
?></code></p>
</li>
</ul>
