Is the settings page not visible in WordPress 6.5.5?

The installation instruction said that the settings are under dashboard but I cannot find it in WordPress 6.5.5? (Head over to the Dan’s GCal settings page, found on the Dashboard sidebar.)

Where could I fill the API address for this plugin?

When installing the plugin the following happens:

1. I get a message that the plugin was not found.
2. The plugin is installed but not activated.
3. I get a fatal error on the web site.

Not sure what I am missing but I cant find the place to add this id, the instructions are not very clear, some help would be greatly appreciated.
This is my public id with google c_b774aed95daa938cd80a4ec253ca14995f7adc0efa9bbe82426b8922a5af575a@group.calendar.google.com

good day,
can the date format become changed in the list view: [dancal_list]

[2021-10-30]
to
[30.10.2021]

thanks a lot

Is it possible to show only something like today from 2pm till 5pm?

Dan,

This is an amazing and useful plugin. I hope it’s ok to post this here.

Hi everyone.

I’ve put together a page to help others with setting this up and customising the look and feel of it.

Click the link below.

Hi! Does anyone have any tips for changing the time to not be 24-hour but 12 hour instead? Any other CSS tips for making the list-view a bit more reader friendly would be much appreciated (bigger font, getting rid of html showing in description, etc…)

Hi Dan.
I have calendar on my website and it works great. Unfortunately, it does not show event details for an event. Do you know why it’s not showing up?

Hi. Was wondering if it was possible to create a button or link to export the calendar itself? Other calendar plugins like Events Calendar can take a Google Calender and provide export functionality. Thank you!

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/styling-tips-2/ had some good information but I did not know how to use it. I responded but should have started a NEW topic and am doing so now.

I had made some mistakes and @meau let me know “It’s not the best to edit the plugin files for this kind of thing but rather add CSS via Appearance/Customize/Additional CSS”

That let me know how to do some of the things I wanted:
1) font to be about 20% bigger – hard to read. (found setting language in jquery.gcal_flow.css) Changing

.gCalFlow {
font-size: 100%; 
}

Worked in Custom CSS (THANKS!)

2) row height to be larger so I can see the first line of text about the event – @meau’s help in the other thread and me finding it and making it work started the slippery slope of trying to make this work for me. [except I did it in jquery.gcal_flow.css which I see was the wrong place]

.gcf-item-body-block {
	max-height: 3.1em !important;
}

Worked in Custom CSS (THANKS!)

I still cannot figure out
======================================
3) width to be ~500px and length not fixed for 30 entries
Box size controlled in dans-gcal.php by:

    $disp = "<style>
      #$divid {
        height: 300px;
        width: 300px;

Custom CSS did not override

4) title to not really be hyperlinked and just say “MABA Calendar” for example (that one SHOULD be easy but could not get it right (jquery.gcal_flow.js around line 213)

5) the first lines of text from the event description is coming in as HTML so I do not know why it is not hyperlinked if one was present? Any thoughts appreciated (tried to get insight from https://github.com/sugi/jquery-gcal-flow/issues/7)

6) Date to be dd-MMM-YY hh:mm tt – I at least got the order to change by switching d.getFullYear()) and (pad_zero(d.getDate())) around in date_formatter: function(d, allday_p) and daterange_formatter: function(sd, ed, allday_p) in jquery.gcal_flow.js
Then tried this and think this is how I broke the plugin and had to delete and reinstall: https://github.com/sugi/jquery-gcal-flow/pull/39/commits/d7316b7bdf282fe5e8d9b45107ffe34b0c35f952 ??

This helped me a little – must be a precursor: https://sugi.github.io/jquery-gcal-flow/#globalize but the globalize formats did not work to change anything.
——————
I appreciate any help you can give me. This all started because the Timely’s All-in-One Event Calendar stopped showing event times so I installed Modern Event Calendar which is also missing times. I found this plugin which is the ideal for what I wanted, something simple that stays up to date shows date/time (and ideally any hyperlinks in the first line can be clicked directly).

I’ve found another issue, and this could be with my theme, but I have an embedded calendar, and when I hover over the event, the link to the google calendar appears at the bottom, but clicking on it won’t go to the page. I can right click and open in new window, and it works fine. Also, the listing of events works fine.

https://pbandjcircus.com/calendar/
First event is in February.

I have put the shortcode for the list of events in my sidebar with the scroll enabled, but the text saying when it was last updated blocks the down arrow for scrolling. Is there a way to remove it?
https://pbandjcircus.com/?page_id=26

Is there a way to see multiple feeds inside 1 calendar, like “[dancal cal=1,2 divid=fullcal]” (That doesn’t work, but you get the idea)

Hello

Importing plugin into page is no problem
But in the full calendar only the events are published.
There are no dates in the month published…os it’s an ampty table with only some events, no dates or days at all…

Hello,
I’ve read all the support threads here, and I’m still having trouble figuring out how to display the Event Titles on the calendar. It’s only showing start time.

How might I display Titles, and End Times?

I’ve triple confirmed that my google calendar settings are checked “Make available to public” and “See all event details” is selected.

**Here’s an example of another website using Dan’s Embedder plugin.. they have figured out how to display Event Titles, so I’m assuming it’s possible.
https://saintstephenbyzantine.church/google-calendar/

Any assistance, or information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Jason

Hi Dan,

Thanks for your great job.
Any tips to change saturday (or monday idc) as the first day in a week ?

I know it’s on your “todo list” but if there any quick things to do it manualy.
Would be great.

Regards

Nielg

Hello,

Is there a way to increase height of calendar cells? It just shows 1 event.
Or is there any other responsive option?

Event data already transfers from Google Calendar to a Cal-list on webpage which also has a contact Form 7 with “Add to Calendar” option activated.

However, when “Add to calendar” button is clicked the data being transferred to Google Calendar doesn’t transfer (webpage stays in loop with error message being: “Calendar could not load the data. Please try reloading later.”)

The web address being sort is https://www.google.com/calendar/event?action=TEMPLATE&text=your-name&dates=20191021/NaNNaNNaN&details=your-route&location=your-location&trp=false&sprop=&sprop=name:

What am I doing wrong?
Stuart

Note to self:

After getting your API key, create a calendar, or browse to existing calendar (under “My Calendars”). Select “Settings and sharing”, then in the “Integrate calendar” section of Settings, copy the value under “Calendar ID”.

This is the value that goes in the “Google Calendar IDs” field in the Settings page for “Dan’s gCal”.

Hi again Dan,
On a page the calendar’s main events are not displaying (grid/month view). There was a similar thread here but the poster had the wrong ID.

I’d rather not give the page’s url here for privacy but if there’s a way to give it to you privately, I will ??

I spent a good 3 hours trying to make this work to no avail. As mentioned the list works. There are no console errors. I also, I used the same cal Key and IDs in another gCal plugin (Simple Cal) and it worked perfectly.

I’m using these shortcodes on the page:
[dancal cal=1]

[dancal_list cal=1 num=8 divid=hpffa-mailcal]

Any ideas?

HI Dan,
When I add two lists, (a different calendar for each) on a page, only the first one displays. The second displays the an empty green bg box where the events should appear.

Is it not possible to display two lists on the same page?
Cheers

Hi Dan,
I’ve installed/activated the plugin. However, I receive an error (warning) when accessing the plugin’s config page. It appears at the end of the instructions, just before the title:

API KEY – Google Calendar (All REQUIRED)

The error is (site info removed):

Warning: count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable in /home/……../wp-content/plugins/dans-gcal/dans-gcal.php on line 131

Any ideas?
Cheers!

Hi,
I have just installed the plugin but it does not appear in the dashboard as suggested in the documentation. Is there something I need to do to fix it?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Kind regards
Hamid

I am struggling to understand how to get to the point of embedding a calendar, I have done the API and calendar link, but then what now?

I create a new page, and see nothing I can add a calendar to. Where can I make the calendar appear?

Not sure if this is still supported, but I have noticed that only the toolbar appears on page load (‘today’ and the navigation arrows). The actual calendar doesn’t appear until you click one of these navigation options – any idea why?

Hi Dan, I’m using your plugin and it’s working perfectly. Are there any tips you could provide with styling the front end using css?

Regards

Trying to add Calendar into our “What’s On” page and also as a list in a Footer.
Have been using Google calendar for many months, so many events on the calendar but these are not being displayed within Dan’s plugin. Have set up Google API and obtained public link to Calendar.
Error reported by Chrome browser is Error 404:
GET https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=tecomauniting%40gmail.com&ctz=Australia%2FMelbourne/events?key=AIzaSyCxjrfk4qPNmBnVSmbb4g4OW-BSq7iIrAQ&maxResults=50&orderBy=startTime&timeMin=2019-07-20T01:40:23.786Z&singleEvents=true&callback=jQuery112401986435645432938_1563586823598&_=1563586823599 net::ERR_ABORTED 404

But going to https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=tecomauniting%40gmail.com&ctz=Australia%2FMelbourne/events? results in display of Google calendar, so link provided to Plugin setup is correct.

Checking Google Console shows that the API key has been used 12 times (my testing) and there are no restrictions on the key.

It appears that the call to Google API is not in the correct format which results in the Error 404 and the non-display of the desired calendar in the Plugin.

All help greatly appreciated. David…

I have api key created and currently have no restrictions in place at all. I have the calendar id published without error. The shortcode is in place, and the calendar displays as expected here:
https://saintstephenbyzantine.church/google-calendar/

However the calendar is empty. We have a number of events on the calendar, but nothing shows up on the website at all.

The process for setting the plugin up is pretty simple, and I’m not getting any errors. The calendar is just empty. What do I need to do to get my events to show up? Any insight is much appreciated!

Hi Dan

Your plugin is great, and just what I’m looking for. I’ve pretty much styled everything I need on the event list, but I do have a couple of questions. Apart from going in and looking at the code, is there any way of:

• changing the date from “[2019-07-19 14:00 – 16:00]” to “14:00 – 16:00 19/07/2019”
• changing the event description so that it honours paragraphs. The paragraphs are in the code, but don’t have the required markup, so they’re not being displayed

Thank you for putting your time into this.

cheers

Jason

Hi,
Your plugin work great but not with the theme I would like to use. The theme is OceansWP.
In Chrome I have the following errors, I guess it is your plugin.

jquery.min.js?ver=5.2.2:2 Uncaught TypeError: jQuery(…).fullCalendar is not a function

Is it up to you to fix it or is a theme issue?
