GCalendar

The GCalendar component allows us to connect a Google calendar to Joomla!. We created a gmail account to manage 3 calendars for the Stroke Club: Adults (brown colour), All (blue) and Young (green). These calendars are presented in “Event Calendar” menu. In same page there is a list of 5 “Upcoming Events”. “Upcoming Events” are shown on the front page as well. The calendars are public, this means than any member of the stroke club can copy events in his/her Google Calendar. Members using Microsoft Outlook should read “Introduction to Google Calendar Synchronization”.

 

There are two calendar views: GCalendar and Google. GCalendar view is easy the read. Google view is more flexible and can be used for 24-hour and 12-hour clock without any additional setting.

We decide that we need a readable calendar for our members. By definition GCalendar use 24-hour clock. Here are your settings for 12-hour clock.

  • Select Calendars - “Adults”, “All”, “Young survivors”

  • Show Calendars - "Yes" "No"

  • The default view - “Month” Week Day

  • Week starts on - “Sunday” Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday

  • Show weekend events - “Yes” No

  • Title format month - MMMM yyyy

  • Title format week - MMMM yyyy

  • Title format day - MMMM yyyy

  • Time format month - h:m tt

  • Time format week - h:m tt

  • Time format day - h:m tt

  • Axis format - h:m tt

  •  

  • Tooltip Date format - m-d-Y

  • Tooltip Time format – h:i

  • Event tooltip

....

There is a small glitch with the tooltip time format for “Upcoming Events”. It seems that isn’t possible to setup the format “h:m tt” and we setup as “h:i”.
