Pretty Google Calendar

Installatie

1. Upload the pretty-google-calendar folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
2. Activate Pretty Google Calendar through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress dashboard.
3. Obtain your Google Calendar API key (see below)
4. Add the API key to Settings -> Pretty Google Calendar Settings
5. Use the shortcode [pretty_google_calendar gcal="calendarID@group.calendar.google.com"] directly in your page or post content.

Shortcode Options

gcal="CalendarID,CalendarID"

Calendar ID of the desired google calendar (note: must be set to ‘Make available to public’. To display multiple calendars, separate ID’s by a comma. (Note: calendars must fall under same API access.))

locale="en"

Sets the locale for calendar. Defaults to “en”.

list_type="listCustom"

Sets the list type. Options: listDay, listWeek, listMonth, listYear, and listCustom. (Also accepts day, week, month, year, and custom).
Defaults to listCustom for backward compatibility.

Note: listCustom allows you to set the number of days you want to display from the current date. Whereas listMonth shows
all the events from this month (including past events), list_type="custom" custom_days="28" will show the next 28 days
across months.

custom_days="28"

Sets the number of days to show in the list tab. Defaults to 28. Only used with listCustom.

custom_list_button="list"

Sets the label for the listCustom button. Defaults to “list”.

views="dayGridMonth, listCustom"

Sets the view types available. If only one view is provided, no view switch buttons will be shown. Defaults to “dayGridMonth, listCustom”.

initial_view="dayGridMonth"

Sets the default view to be displayed when opening the page. Defaults to “dayGridMonth”.

enforce_listview_on_mobile="true"

Sets the change to the list view behavior on small screens. Options: “true” and “false”. Defaults to “true”. This option has no effect if there is no list view declared in the “views” option.

show_today_button="true"

Sets the visibility of the “Today” button. Options: “true” and “false”. Defaults to “true”.

show_title="true"

Sets the visibility of the calendar title. Options: “true” and “false”. Defaults to “true”.

id_hash=random

Sets the ID hash for a calendar. If you have multiple calendars on a page and need to style them, you can set this to a permanent code. Otherwise, it’ll randomly generate each load. (Note: as of v2.0.0 this can only be alphanumeric.)

use_tooltip="true"

Migrating from global setting for individual calendar styling. Whether the floating tooltip for event pops up on click.

no_link="true"

Migrating from global setting for individual calendar styling. Whether to disable link to calendar.google.com on click.

fc_args = JSON string ((EXPERIMENTAL))

Allows you to override or impliment just about any FullCalendar argument (with some exception). For example: fc_args='{"weekNumbers":"true", "eventTextColor":"red"}'

Note: any argument that contains [] will fail due to WordPress’ parsing of shortcodes. No workaround currently.
Note: this is experimental – things may break.

Styling Multiple Calendars

As of v1.7.0, each calendar gets it’s own CSS selector: pgcal-event-# where the # is the order of the listed calendar (starting with 0). So if you have two calendars in one, you can use pgcal-event-0 to style the first, and pgcal-event-1 to style the second calendar.

Obtaining Google Calendar API Key

1. The good folks at WPBeginner have a comprehensive writeup: https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-add-google-calendar-in-wordpress/

(Although in the API Restrictions Section, you may need “Don’t Restrict Key” selected. YMMV.)

Make your Google Calendar public:

1. In de Google Calendar interface, zoek het gebied “Mijn agenda’s” aan de linkerkant.
2. Hover over de kalender die je nodig hebt en klik op de naar beneden wijzende pijl.
3. Er verschijnt een menu. Klik op “Deel deze agenda”.
4. Vink aan “Maak deze kalender openbaar”.
5. Zorg ervoor dat “Deel alleen mijn vrij/bezet informatie” niet is aangevinkt.
6. Klik op “Opslaan”.

Obtain your Google Calendar’s ID:

1. In de Google Calendar interface, zoek het gebied “Mijn agenda’s” aan de linkerkant.
2. Hover over de kalender die je nodig hebt en klik op de naar beneden wijzende pijl.
3. Er verschijnt een menu. Klik op “Agenda instellingen”.
4. In de sectie “Agenda adres” op het scherm zie je je Agenda ID. Het ziet er ongeveer zo uit: “abcd1234@group.calendar.google.com”. Dit is de waarde die je invoert in de shortcode.
