Google Calendar Won't Display

Asked by Oliver Webb

Hi,

I'm trying to display a Google Calendar on Xibo 1.3 (Python Client), and it won't display - I just get a white box with a plus sign in it.

I've tried creating a webpage with it in or embedding it directly - both have the same result.

This is the code -

<iframe src="https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?showTitle=0&showNav=0&showPrint=0&showTabs=0&showCalendars=0&showTz=0&mode=AGENDA&height=400&wkst=2&bgcolor=%23FFFFFF&src=nuj93tsuth4665nsdsj5jhk5m8%40group.calendar.google.com&color=%232952A3&ctz=Europe%2FLondon" style=" border-width:0 " width="300" height="400" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>

Thanks

Ollie

Hi Ollie

I just put in a webpage media type with the following URL:
https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?showTitle=0&showNav=0&showPrint=0&showTabs=0&showCalendars=0&showTz=0&mode=AGENDA&height=400&wkst=2&bgcolor=%23FFFFFF&src=nuj93tsuth4665nsdsj5jhk5m8%40group.calendar.google.com&color=%232952A3&ctz=Europe%2FLondon

Do other webpages work OK if you put them in instead?

And it worked OK for me - that's using 1.3.1 plus a few patches but nothing that affects the webpage media type.

Sorted it. It was a proxy issue - I've already added the line export http_proxy=http://... to run.sh - I needed to do the same for the https proxy. Thanks for looking.

As a side comment - I'm using a bit of php code that I found on google called gcalendar.php, it parses the xml feed and allows you to choose which data to ouput, in which order and then using html tags you can format that data into your house style.

I embed it into xibo in an iframe.

Very useful!

Jonathan, what code from the PHP file did you add in order to be able to choose which data to output? I found one file but I dont think it s the one you mentioned.
