Embedded Google Calendars that don't suck.
You: I just want to embed a Google Calendar in my WordPress site. \ Google: Here's a special kind of ugly! \ Pretty Google Calendar: I got this.
This is a light and simple to use plugin that embeds Google Calendars in your website with style, beauty and grace.
Highlights:
How it works:
pretty-google-calendar
folder to the /wp-content/plugins/
directory.Pretty Google Calendar
through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress dashboard.[pretty_google_calendar gcal="calendarID@group.calendar.google.com"]
directly in your page or post content.gcal="CalendarID,CalendarID"
\
Calendar ID of the desired google calendar (note: must be set to 'Make available to public'. To display multiple calendars, separate ID's by a comma. (Note: calendars must fall under same API access.))
locale="en"
\
Sets the locale for calendar. Defaults to "en".
list_type="listCustom"
\
Sets the list type. Options: listDay
, listWeek
, listMonth
, listYear
, and listCustom
. (Also accepts day, week, month, year, and custom).
Defaults to listCustom
for backward compatibility.
Note: listCustom
allows you to set the number of days you want to display from the current date. Whereas listMonth shows all the events from this month (including past events), list_type="custom" custom_days="28"
will show the next 28 days
across months.
custom_days="28"
\
Sets the number of days to show in the list tab. Defaults to 28. Only used with listCustom.
custom_list_button="list"
\
Sets the label for the listCustom button. Defaults to "list".
views="dayGridMonth, listCustom"
\
Sets the view types available. If only one view is provided, no view switch buttons will be shown. Defaults to dayGridMonth, listCustom
.
initial_view="dayGridMonth"
\
Sets the default view to be displayed when opening the page. Defaults to dayGridMonth
.
enforce_listview_on_mobile="true"
\
Sets the change to the list view behavior on small screens. Options: true
and false
. Defaults to true
. This option has no effect if there is no list view declared in the views
option.
show_today_button="true"
\
Sets the visibility of the Today
button. Options: true
and false
. Defaults to true
.
show_title="true"
\
Sets the visibility of the calendar title
. Options: true
and false
. Defaults to true
.
id_hash=random
\
Sets the ID hash for a calendar. If you have multiple calendars on a page and need to style them, you can set this to a permanent code. Otherwise, it'll randomly generate each load. (Note: as of v2.0.0 this can only be alphanumeric.)
use_tooltip="true"
\
Migrating from global setting for individual calendar styling. Whether the floating tooltip for event pops up on click.
no_link="true"
\
Migrating from global setting for individual calendar styling. Whether to disable link to calendar.google.com on click.
fc_args
= JSON string ((EXPERIMENTAL)) \
Allows you to override or impliment just about any FullCalendar argument (with some exception). For example: fc_args='{"weekNumbers":"true", "eventTextColor":"red"}'
Note: any argument that contains []
will fail due to Wordpress' parsing of shortcodes. No workaround currently.
Note: this is experimental - things may break.
As of v1.7.0, each calendar gets it's own CSS selector: pgcal-event-#
where the # is the order of the listed calendar (starting with 0). So if you have two calendars in one, you can use pgcal-event-0
to style the first, and pgcal-event-1
to style the second calendar.
(Although in the API Restrictions Section, you may need "Don't Restrict Key" selected. YMMV.)
Make your Google Calendar public:
Obtain your Google Calendar’s ID:
Pretty Google Calendar.
List View.
Optional Event Popover.
Settings page. It's that simple.
Pretty Google Calendar impliments the excellent Full Calendar for you, and tosses in a little Tippy.js and Popper to make things... well... pop.
No. All calendar events are maintaned via Google Calendar, this plugin just displays them in a non-shitty way.
Add custom css to your theme to tweak to your desire.
Probably not. But it maybe could!
Pretty Google Calendar is purposefully simple and easy, set up with a few defaults to make things just work. However, there may be a killer feature you want that others are clammering for.
Since it is based on Full Calendar, theoretically, anything that is possible there is possible here. Contact me for requests for additional functionality, and let's see what we can create together!
