Printable View
Hi, would it be difficult to implement a calendar function into a xara template ? I guess this could be done by importing some widget, e.g. google calendar ? I tried it quickly but got an error message saying the URL was wrong ..
I also searched in the template catalogue, but no template seems to have a calendar function implemented out of the box? So I guess it should be done by importing some widget ?
I use XWD premium 12
Google calendar is probably the best.
Create your calendar on Google's site then copy the embed iframe code and paste it into a placeholder in the Replace with HTML Code (Body) section. You have to opt to share the calendar.
To be honest, I just tried this and it is about as convoluted as anything. But once I opted to share the calendar it works.
I configured my googlen calendar to display a list view by default. However in xara it always displays the grid view ?
What does it display when you publish?
The calendar grid/ matrix view. You can see it here btw:

It also does not fit exactly in the space of the page, no matter how I try to resize the window in XWD
Open the calendar Placeholder. Somewhere, its code will show 'width="100%"'. Change this to 85%.Quote:

This is nice, but in addition to the dedicated page that displays the full calendar, I want to display a small interactive window on my welcome page, about the size of a pop-up, that picks eg the next 3 calendar events.
I have no idea if this is possible or how to approach this (probably write a lot of code?)
Well, I googled around a bit and from what I could understand is that I would probably need to use google calendar api to fetch the list of events from my calendar for a given period (or the next two or three starting from the current date), filter out some public holidays etc. and then display it in a window using a placeholder. Seems easy isn't it ? :) Would this mean I'll have to switch to php ? If so, does xara support php files ?
