Description
Dan’s Embedder for Google Calendar was created out of a need to display Google calendars in both list and full view in a way that was mobile friendly, customizable via shortcode, and easy to style. No need to import events or manage them directly in WordPress. All you need is a public Google Calendar (or multiple!) and a free, easy to get API key.
Features:
-
Displays public calendars in a mobile friendly format
-
Offers Options for Full Calendar View, or Upcoming Events List
-
All options are configured via shortcode
-
Full Calendar offers mobile friendly tooltips with event title, time, and location
-
Upcoming Events List can specify how many items to show, or turn on auto-scroll
-
Custom div id can be set for every calendar, for individual theming of each calendar
-
No limit to the number of calendars you can link up
Shortcodes Cheatsheet:
-
Full Display
[dancal](defaults to 1st calendar) , or[dancal cal=1 divid=idname](where 1 is the number of calendar you want, and divid is the id of the outermost div, for theming purposes. If you don’t set divid, a random one is chosen to allow multiple calendars on the same page). -
Upcoming Events List:
[dancal_list], or[dancal_list cal=1 num=30 scroll=true divid=idname](1 is the calendar number, num is a number 0 for number of upcoming events to display, scroll is true or false to enable auto-scroll, , and divid is the id of the outermost div, for theming purposes. If you don’t set divid, a random one is chosen to allow multiple calendars on the same page))
