Yes and no. You can host the script somewhere else that does support PHP. You just have to adjust the iframe src attribute accordingly.

Thanks, Brian. Only problem for me is that I’m tring to use this with Squarespace, and PHP is not available there. Before I dig into it, is i possible to do the customisation without having PHP available??

Thanks and regards,
David

@David It may be broken on Google's end. I don't think they support it anymore. I'd recommend you use the standard embedded calendar. Check out my site specifically for restyling the calendar www.restylegc.com. You can switch it to agenda mode and whole lot more.

I’m having some trouble getting this to work for me: specifying the Title, firstDay etc all works fine, but the gadget does not come up in Agenda mode (despite my setting &up_showAgenda=1 as you do in your example, and the height and width specs do not seem to take (I set &w=600 and &h=200).

The other question I have is why the setting &up_showCalendar2=1 — I’ve tried both that and &up_showCalendar1=1, with no visible change.

Thanks for any help,
David

Thanks for this — it was very helpful. I am wondering how to change the text format of the agenda. Size etc. Can anyone help?

it appears that all the format editing for this takes a bit of time.

actually.. got the "blah blah" statement fixed. But was presented with a new problem. The calender works fine in Firefox when I use internet explorer however, the page refreshes constantly. What's with that?

So I JUST stumbled upon this gadget edit and it's great! I've followed all your steps and got it working just the way I like, cept.. Google has replaced my events with there own "You can use Google Calendar to manage your events. Sign up." non-sense.. anyway around this? also.. I was wondering if it would be possible that when they click a date the box moves to the left instead of the right. Thanks.

I set the calendar up in December for a website, following your directions, and the client was really happy with the results.

Now that I’m ready to publish the website, none of the events on the calendar are displaying. The calendar will display, but no events.

Has there been any change in the gadget code I should know about? Or the xml format?

After spending the past two hours trying to figure this out, I’m out of ideas.

Rob,

The embedded calendar’s size is flexible and can be as large or small as needed (within reason). Links in the embedded calendar are directed to the calendar hosted on Google.com. This script simply reskins the embedded calendar so that you’re not stuck with cerulean blue as the only color option. Functionally, it’s identical.
