justjennifer on "RSS feed from another site"

Have you looked at the RSS widget in your site sidebar using the feed from the other site? See here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/rss-widget/

Also if you are using a Google iCal, you can embed it in the sidebar in a text widget or in a page. See here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/google-calendar/

There is also an "upcoming events" widget that you can used, based on a Google calendar, but I hesitate to recommend it because it has been known to be buggy in the past. See here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/upcoming-events/

Is it possible to feed in an events listing from another site into this wordpress site. Was hoping to be able to use our current events listing (which also archives for us and backs up through IT) to feed this into wordpress. External site is also a CMS run site.

Hi,

I need to highlight dates of upcoming events and show them on the main/home page (and also not in the right column). The next upcoming event should show above upcoming events further in the future (that is, in order).

Instead, as most free themes seem to be meant for blogs, I see that the dates that are (sometimes boldly) highlighted are the dates of when new posts were created.

Perhaps there are multiple ways of doing that... Or at least to be able to decide which post to put where (that is, in which order). Perhaps there is a theme meant for small non-profits that features upcoming events...

I would very much appreciate any help. Thank you for reading so far.

Hi WP administrators.

While we are waiting for WordPress.com to "develop an event calendar" please take a look at the WP theme Soundcheck which includes an 'Upcomming Gigs'
(see theme.wordpress.com/themes/soundcheck/).

Is this something you can benefit from?
Have anyone any experience about / how this theme deal with/organize events?
I am considering using this...

Regarding all discussions about widgets, plugins and 3.party SW: you can not include this in your wordpress.com -blog. You have to host your own wordpress site (e.g. http://www.godaddy.com/hosting/wordpress-hosting) to benefit from custom plugins.

justjennifer on "embedded google calendar- events vanish"

justjennifer — Fri, 19 Oct 2012 20:16:33 +0000

I cannot see any events on that calendar through the end of 2012 and truly you do not have to be logged in to your Google account for me to see it.

The calendar you create must be public. Also, if you have several calendars in Google, make sure you have created the events on the one you want to display on your site and make sure those events are public as well.

akmining on "embedded google calendar- events vanish"

akmining — Fri, 19 Oct 2012 19:10:29 +0000

Yes, I did. The reason you can't see them right now is that I'm logged out of my google account. I'll log back in. Can you check if you can see them then?

justjennifer on "embedded google calendar- events vanish"

justjennifer — Fri, 19 Oct 2012 18:41:59 +0000

I cannot see them either. Have you followed the instructions in this Support doc? http://en.support.wordpress.com/google-calendar/

akmining on "embedded google calendar- events vanish"

akmining — Fri, 19 Oct 2012 18:30:16 +0000

Hi
I embedded a google calendar onto my site (http://akmininginfo.org/calendar/). When I am logged into my google account, the events marked on the calendar appear on the embedded calendar on the wordpress site. When I log out of my google account, the events vanish from the calendar.

Does anyone know how to keep this from happening? I would like the events to show up even when I am not logged in to google.

Please, please, please develop a user-friendly calendar widget that matches the themes. I don't even care if the calendar is dynamic. I just want it to look good on the site. If that means I need to edit on the page, that's fine by me. It seems like this is something that could be included in the customization upgrade that I purchased.

Thanks for all the other cool stuff you bring to the yard!

I am attempting to use the events function. I have created a category, events page and an events widget on the sidebar. I can't seem to get the actual dates to show. Am I missing something?

thegeekanthropologist on "A decent Event Calendar (not google calendar integration)"

thegeekanthropologist — Mon, 01 Oct 2012 19:48:50 +0000

Yes, I want to be able to disply upcoming posts so people know what to expect in coming weeks and months. I plan way ahead when I write so that I have time to research and so my posts follow each other more logically. I would like to be able to show that with a calendar.

I just figured out the website I linked to (bcsfamilies.com/calendar) is a WordPress.org site, and they probably used the events calendar available on wordpress.org. We can't use it on wordpress.com. Boo!

freetodoinaustin on "A decent Event Calendar (not google calendar integration)"

freetodoinaustin — Thu, 27 Sep 2012 12:29:53 +0000

I also found http://www.localendar.com , it says you can use it with Blogger so I assume you could use it with WordPress as well. It does have plugin for the website version of WP

Does anyone know how this calendar works? I think it has the things we're looking for, but I can't figure out how they created it.

Yes, this is exactly what I'm looking for too. An event calendar to publish day, week, month events and that could also be viewed in list format. This is a big component of my website that I'm having trouble finding a good solution for.

I couldn't agree more! This seems like a basic and essential component.

Please develop a calendar - the only reason I did a website instead of a blog is because of this, and the website is proving to be a bit too much for me ( plus it costs $$) My site is basically an events calendar - I'd sell my soul for a decent WP.com event calendar so I could ditch the website

Hi WP.
I can see there are a lot of requests for a WP integrated event calendar. This is something I and lot of WP administrators would benefit from, so I have a suggestion on how to implement this functionality in an easy way:

Why not introduce a new field in Page Attributes called: Publish event on [event date]. Then all the postings with this attribute set could be cross published the Calendar widget both on [published date] and [event date].

If the 'Create Calender' widget also gets 2 check boxes: Show only pages when [Published] and/or [Date of Event], this would become a tremendous improvement of WP.

Thanks.

Hi, thanks for the reply but no, event brute is not useful to me. A main part of my blog is listing events, conferences etc. I want a calendar/schedule/listing that works like google calendar but which is (a lot) more user friendly, mobile compatible and attractive. There is no e-commerce element needed, and it will make up my static front page. Thanks for the suggestion though.
