Subject: Sharing multiple calendars with one URL
Hi,

I know this is a frequent but I would like to ask if there is
something new about it. I found that if I mess with the URL I can
embed multiple calendars under one link (the down arrow right of the
Agenda hinted me to try it).

However, what I could not add through the URL was to add colors to the
calendar. Here is an example link with two calendars:
http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=milan.regec%40gmail.com&src=...

Could somebody please hint me how to tweak it so that I can specify
color (I was trying to steal color information from the Embed calendar
function, but I had no luck). Thanks! And, since this is a feature
request forum, could we ask for this kind of functionality to be
available not only for embedding calendar to the page but also for
publishing its url?

Thank you,

Skippi

Here's what I came up with. This should answer both posters here.

1. In Calendar, generate the HTML to embed your calendars. Choose the
calendars and colors you want. I didn't fool with sizes or other
options.

- Should look something like this (for two calendars):

<iframe src="http://www.google.com/calendar/hosted/domainname.com/
embed?height=600&amp;wkst=1&amp;bgcolor=
%23FFFFFF&amp;src=domainname.com_######################
%40group.calendar.google.com&amp;color=
%235229A3&amp;src=domainname.com_#######################
%40group.calendar.google.com&amp;color=%237A367A&amp;ctz=America
%2FNew_York" style=" border-width:0 " width="800" height="600"
frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>

- Note that domainname and ################# will be unique for you.

2. Copy this portion of the generated HTML for later use. (I suggest
pasting it in notepad)

domainname.com_######################
%40group.calendar.google.com&amp;color=
%235229A3&amp;src=domainname.com_#######################
%40group.calendar.google.com&amp;color=%237A367A

3. In your Sites page, insert a calendar gadget (any HTML address will
do for now)
4. Edit the Sites page HTML. You should see something like this:

<img
props="mode:month;showTabs:true;showTitle:true;showNav:true;showDate:true;h eight:
600;domain:domainname.com;pvttk:#######################"
origsrc="domainname.com_###############%40group.calendar.google.com"
type="calendar" id="############" style="display: block; text-align:
left;" src="/a/domainname.com/sitename/system/app/embed/icons/
calendar.gif"><br>

5. locate the string: origsrc="domainname.com_###############
%40group.calendar.google.com"
6. replace everything inside these quotation marks with the code
copied earlier. Make sure to leave the quotation marks.
7. Save and the page should show all calendars with the colors you
chose in the embeddable calendar wizard.

I'd love to hear if this works for others.

Works for me! Only problem is that apart from colors, I can't tell
which calendar is which.  There are no options to choose which
calendar to view.

Hmmm. I hadn't noticed that. I went back in and fiddled with the HTML
some more. Somewhere along the line, the selector in the upper right
of the calendar appeared. I'm not sure what I did. I thought it was
including a ;Border:"1"; in the props section but it kept working
after I took that out. All I can say is that it will work, somehow and
sometimes.

FYI, I also noticed that a couple of my events that were marked
private showed up sometimes and not other times.

So I go to the 'embed' page to try this out, and find that Google have
now implemented what you wanted - you can check off a list of
calendars you want to include.

Go Google!

Having said which, I now find that it seems to ignore the 'public'
setting if I've chosen 'show only free/busy information' - the public
version of the calendar excludes these calendars as though they were
set as private.

So, not quite perfect yet.

Wait, you figured out a way to do this for Google Sites?  I know you
can generate that HTML from"embed this calendar" in Google Calendars,
but Google sites won't let me use that HTML.

If you read the quoted text in your message (or the earlier post in
this thread), you'll see how we get around that. It's still working
for me although there is weirdness with the privacy settings.

This does not work for me.
There is something seriously wrong with embedding calendars in Sites.
It works reliably when the calendar is made public but the private
address does not work.
I hope Google fixes this asap - because I had sold our team on Google
Apps mainly because of the shared calendar feature in sites.
Thanks for trying to help.

It worked for me! the only problem is that the selector is not there,
but that's not really important... thank you DLW!!!!

So far this is mostly working for me.  I got the calendar to show up
on the site, but I can't get the drop down selector that allows you to
select and deselect the sub calendars to display.  Anyone have any
suggestions on how to get that to show up?

Hey everyone,

The calendar selector stills shows up for my GSites Embedded
Calendars. I'm not sure why it's not working for you guys. If I edit
the HTML for my page, I get the following props. See if you can enable
the selector by making your props match these.

props="mode:month;showTabs:true;showTitle:true;showNav:true;showDate:true;h eight:
600;"

Other than that, I'm not sure. I do have both of my embedded calendars
public and there are only two, in case that's a difference. Also,
you'll notice there's no width set above. That might affect the
display too. What about different screen resolutions, browsers, etc.?

Good luck and report back if this helps or not. I'm curious.
