Google Calendar

  • If the site owner plans to embed Google Calendar, add a message to the Messages Manager.
  • Some components already have the tag to embed a google calendar
  • If you want to add one to a template that doesn't have that option, use
    <div></div>

events/default

  • Has a full set of product and category templates.
  • Uses _skins/columns.html

events/full-width-title-1col

  • Has its own columns.html with no sidebars, otherwise uses events/default templates
  • Has the message tag for inserting a Google Calendar (calendar must be public)

events/full-width-title-2col-nav

  • This one is named incorrectly. It is 2 column, but there is no nav. The right sidebar contains featured products.
  • Has its own columns.html, otherwise uses events/default templates

events/gcalendar

  • Has it's own category_detail.html
  • Best used when a site only wants to display the calendar and will not be adding items.
  • Has the message tag {google-calendar} for inserting a Google Calendar (calendar must be public)
