Thanks for all your help – Authors – if you can look into why (jquery-qtip.js) is failing with Version 2.1.4 – prev / next buttons and pop outs are not working.
Here’s an interesting bug. I’ll describe how I got it.
I’m running version 2.1.3 (because I hadn’t realized there was a new version — I will try the new one later and see if I get the same strange behavior).
My feed uses the Event Builder as follows:
Code:
[if-not-all-day] [start-time] [/if-not-all-day] <span class="gce-list-event"> [event-title] </span>
Feed settings:
Expand recurring events? Yes
Date format: l, M j
Time format: g:ia
Cache duration: blank
display mode: grid
number of events per page: 9 events
display staft date offset: 0 days ahead
minimum feed start date: 1 months back
maximum feed end date: 2 years forward
Here’s the code in my page:
[gcal id="1292" display="grouped-list"]
The first event that gets displayed happens to be an all-day event.
The weird result: the first event listed doesn’t have a date associated with it! (Other all-day events are fine.)
I can solve this problem in two ways — by giving that first event a start time, or by changing the code in the page to the following:
[gcal id="1292" display="grouped-list" interval="days" interval_count="8"]
Note that the following does not solve the problem:
[gcal id="1292" display="grouped-list" interval="events" interval_count="8"]
Thanks to the developers for making very clear instructions for setting up the API.
Developers, could you please post more examples? And with each example, it would be helpful if you could show what the results look like. Thanks!
I updated to 2.1.4 and the situation seems to be the same as I described.
By the way, all-day events don’t line up with events that have a start time. The all-day events start about one character to the right.
Oops, I found out that all the event titles have a slight extra indentation. This is noticeable if you allow the event title to be all alone on a line (without, for example, a preceding word or phrase, such as “Event: “).
An apparently unrelated problem: I can’t get the Past Events to go back far enough in time. Here is the google calendar:
Here is the WordPress page that’s showing too few events from the past: http://www.ithacasepta.org/test-plugin/
My settings and code:
<h4>Upcoming Events-Full</h4>
[gcal id="1292" display="grouped-list" interval="days" interval_count="19"]
<h4>Test Past Events-Full</h4>
[gcal id="1311" display="grouped-list" order="desc" interval="days" interval_count="800" ]
Here is the Google calendar in question: https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=pdm5jvuqake8kl2bj1v4ec7ob8%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/New_York
I’d like to go back at least a year and a half. There aren’t a lot of events on this calendar.
Sorry, I forgot to show the particulars for feed 1311.
<span class="gce-list-event"> [event-title] </span>
<div>[if-not-all-day] Time: [start-time] - [end-time] [/if-not-all-day] </div>
[if-location]
<div>Location: [location]</div>
[/if-location] [if-description]
<div>Description: [description]</div>
[/if-description]
Date format: l, M j, Y
Time format: g:ia
Cache duration: 1 (for debugging)
Display mode: Grid
Number events per page: 30 Events
Display start date offset: 180 days back
minimum feed start date: 3 years back
Max feed end date: 0- days forward
Progress. I am using the same feed settings and code as before, except I changed “Display start date offset” to 600. The shortcode on the page is now as follows:
<h4>Upcoming Events-Full</h4>
[gcal id="1292" display="grouped-list" interval="days" interval_count="19"]
<h4>Test Past Events-Full</h4>
[gcal id="1311" display="grouped-list" order="desc" ]
The result is now almost what is needed. The only problem is that the results page displays an all day event for today in the Past Events list. I would rather that it only appear in the Coming Events list. I haven’t found a way to adjust the settings to get today’s event eliminated from the descending list.
My calendar feed was not displaying. I generated an API key, verified the correct calendar ID was being used, etc. The problem ended up being that the “Minimum Feed Start Date” and “Maximum Feed End Date” had both been reset to 0 days, presumably on updating the plugin to the latest version.
I hope this is just an isolated problem with migrating settings to the new Gcal API. Devs, please check and make sure those settings have sane defaults (and THANK YOU for your work on this plugin).
Will this Google API issue be resolved for those running version 0.7.3.1?
I appreciate there has been a great update but the newest version doesn’t offer the functionality I require for my website (The ability to show activities taking place ‘today’, ‘tomorrow’, etc) and as such my “carers resource” has now been rendered useless.
Thanks
ignore previous post – I have finally managed to get the newest version working
I haven’t seen this in the previous questions:
I have completely reconstructed the GCal feed page, and the widget details, and would like to see a list. However, all I see is a grid:
And I don’t really know where I might change the short code. Above some said to change it in the page, but where would that be?? Thanks for any help.
My site showing the grid instead of list, but I won’t be leaving it up that way very long.

Thanks for help.
Hello — google calendar still not appearing after update this morning to newest version of plugin — this is the message that shows on the page: Some data was retrieved, but could not be parsed successfully. Please ensure your feed settings are correct.
Here is a link to the page: http://portsmouthhistory.org/calendar-2/
How do I ensure my feed settings are correct?
thank you!
Okay — just updated the feed setting, and now the calendar is working! Thank you.
I don’t see items on my calendar anymore.
I have added an API key as you suggested.
I just cannot ad a user-id as you mention it.
In my case (and yes I have set it to public) is only get as an id, my gmail-adres.
any idea?
Regards,
Peter
