Re: Install a Google Calendar in a MediaWiki

[Sergey Chernyshev]

You can test if extension is installed on Special:Version page.

Also, if it is successful, you will see "Widget" namespace in a drop-down on Special:AllPages page (and you will see Google Calendar page in that namespace now when you created it).

Step 4 is not necessary, the rest seems to be correct.

Best,

Hello together,

I'm asking for help in the above mentioned topic.

1) I downloaded, extracted and copied the files of Widgets_1.0.zip to $IP/extensions/Widgets/ of my MediaWiki installation

2) I added the string [code]require_once "$IP/extensions/Widgets/Widgets.php";[/code] to my localsettings.php
(btw: Do I have the chance to check, wether this installation yet is correct?)

3) I created an example calendar on https://www.google.com/calendar/embedhelper and named it "LinksWiki_G"

4) I got this iframe-code from Google
[code]
<iframe src="https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?height=600&amp;wkst=1&amp;bgcolor=%23FFFFFF&amp;src=XXXXXXXX%40ymail.com&amp;color=%232952A3&amp;ctz=Pacific%2FMidway" style=" border-width:0 " width="800" height="600" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>
[/code] (anonymized for this posting with 'XXXXXXXX')

Copying this <iframe>-code results in the wiki shows on this page this iframe-sourcecode but no calendar.

5) I copied the full source code of  Google Calendar widget code page
to the page 'Widget:Google Calendar' in my MediaWiki.
But this then shows only the info that Widget:Google Calendar allows me to add Google Calendar to my wiki - something like a vicious circle ???

6) I copied the code [code]{{#widget:Google Calendar|id=XXXX...@ymail.com|color=528800|title=testcalendar}}[/code] to the wiki page,
result shown: {{#widget:WidgetName|param1=value1|param2=value2}}


What I'm supposed to do know?

Thanks for each help.

I looked at this page and there it is - installed extensions: Widgets (Version 1.0) from you.
 

Also, if it is successful, you will see "Widget" namespace in a drop-down on Special:AllPages page (and you will see Google Calendar page in that namespace now when you created it).

Yes, there are "widget" and "widget diskussion" in the drop down; chosen the first one there is a link for the "Google Calendar" page.
 

Step 4 is not necessary, the rest seems to be correct.

On that page I can only view directly the following source code:

<iframe src="https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?height=600&wkst=2&hl=de&bgcolor=%23FFFFFF&src=XXXXXXX%40ymail.com&color=%232952A3&ctz=Europe%2FBerlin" style=" border:solid 1px #777 " width="800" height="600" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>

Seems that my wiki doesn't accept iframes.
Doesn't Wikimedia accept iframes by default?


(Sorry for double posting. After more than 1/2 hour this forum didn't show my question posting. I refreshed and reloaded the page several times (incl. cache). But nothing.
Then I repeated the posting. In this moment there were both postings. I tried to delete the other one.)

Best regards
Ron

Step 4 is completely useless - you should not paste iframes into wiki pages - they just don't work, that's why Widgets extension was created.

Did you try {{#Widget:...}} code again?

Best,

O.K. then - without iframes.

Into the page ...wiki/index.php/Widget:Google_Calendar
I write the {{#widget}} parser function:

{{#widget:Google Calendar|id=ronr...@ymail.com|color=528800}}

After saving this I get in the display:

Widget:Google Calendar

{{#widget:WidgetName|param1=value1|param2=value2}}

Seems, that this parser function is not interpreted, but reseted to a default sentence, not only showing the source code ?!?

And btw: In the settings of the Google Calendar I shared it public; I wonder why I create user accounts in my wiki, if I only can use a calendar
(with entries dedicated to a certain group of persons) which is public for the whole world ?!? Did I missunderstand this too?

Best regards

And what's this for?

'''This widget allows you to add '''[http://www.google.com/calendar/embedhelper Google Calendar]''' widget to your wiki page.'''
