NYCPHP Meetup

[Jon Dupree]

Hi Gary,
I am working with a non-profit - a school, where we have removed their 
html calendar from their website, and replaced it with a public Google 
calendar.  Now anyone (that is authorized) can add events to the school 
calendar, and they do not have to wait for the annoying web designer 
(me) to update it.  Also parents, teachers and students can add the 
school calendar to their personal Google calendar or Outlook, or to 
their iPhone or Blackberry, so they always know when the school is 
closed or there is an after-school activity planned.  We are also 
working on setting up that if an event is planned, everyone who has 
subscribed to the calendar will get an notification.  Therefore school 
closing due to school can be easily relayed.

The one problem that I am having is that Joomla does not seem to work 
with the Google Calendar very well.  I have tried to insert the 
Google-supplied code in a custom HTML module, as well as an article with 
the html code, but it will not show the calendar.  I am sure there is 
probably an extension available, but why wouldn't a custom html module 
work?  Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Jon
