The Gravity Forms documentation (here) is all there is. Effectively the gravity import works by the gravity form creating a new event post in draft mode, an author going to the draft event and clicking the import from gravity fields button. This copies the custom meta fields that the gravity form creates to the real fields that the EveryCal plugin uses for storing dates, locations, etc… Automatic import is not supported but theoretically could be done for a small number of fields by using the real custom meta field name instead of the gravity meta field name that is used when importing. However the majority of EveryCal custom fields are packed into one meta field value so creating them from the gravity form is not possible without modifying the code.

Color is one of the grouped fields; and is not supported in the gravity import because I wanted site authors to have control over colors. This could be changed simply by adding the color fields to the gravity import field list.

I’m happy to look at adding functionality if it will be helpful so please suggest away.

I solved numbers 1 & 2 (and felt like I had a duh! moment when I even asked the questions!) lol Just click the icon off and add my own picture, text and code on the page below the calendar with the same feed links… So simple – not sure why that didn’t dawn on me last night!

I haven’t yet figured out the answers to numbers 3 and 4 though. So any help you can provide will be much appreciated!

Love your plug-in! I’ve tried several different calendar plug-ins and yours is, by far, the best. I do have a few questions and I apologize in advance because I’m new at WordPress and website design. I have read through the documentation but couldn’t find the answers.

1) Can the icon to export the calendar be moved to the bottom instead of the top? If so, how do I do this?

2) How do I use an export icon that is different from the ones in the pop-up box?

3) Is there any additional information on using Gravity Forms to allow site members to enter event information? I’ve set up a form and a related form widget – but I’m not clear on how the event becomes part of the calendar. Does this happen automatically or is the form information sent to the site administrator to create the event manually?

4) Related to #3 – is there a way through the form settings to assign the event a color category? For example, I have the event description custom field set up as a drop-down box with 3 choices. I’d like for the site member to choose 1 of those 3, and then the color for the calendar be automatic based on which 1 of the 3 was selected.

Thanks again for a great plug-in!

@AndyB – thanks for all your help. For anyone who is curious, Andrew discovered a space before the URL when I pasted in the XML link. It’s often the tiniest things that cause issues.

Thanks for your fast reply… when I copy and paste the XML link I actually do get the XML…. strange. I also just tested out the “private” xml link with no luck there either.

@nataliedewhirst
If you copy the XML link and paste it into your browser URL then change the /basic at the end to /full – do you see the XML or do you get “This calendar does not have read public access enabled.”? If you get that message it’s because you’re not using the “private” links – which is probably because the clients Google Apps account doesn’t enable sharing outside the domain.

See http://support.google.com/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=60765 for more details.

Basically you need to: Share all information, but outsiders cannot change calendar.

Then go back to the calendar settings and get the “private” XML link and paste that into the plugin.

Andy, Thanks for creating this plugin – its exactly what I need. I am having an issue I’m hoping you can shed some light on. I created a test Google calendar in my own account with events that pulls in just fine. However, when I try to pull in the client’s actual calendar, it doesn’t work. Their calendar is public, I’ve grabbed the XML address – but it just won’t show. To test further, I created a new test calendar under their same Google account and that calendar showed up – just not the existing one that I actually need to show. Any idea what I might be missing here?

In response to mattdavidson – I had a similar issue, and was using a very old build of ddwrt, which must have had some issues with WPA2 Enterprise, I don’t have exact version numbers, but it was a 2009 build, running on a WRT54GS. As soon as I upgraded to a new router (ASUS RT-n16), with a newer build (12-20-2011) all settings worked.

@serge

There is no setting to do that – in an effort to be simply I went with a fixed order.

I’ll add it as an extra setting in the next release.
