Embedded Google Calendar

Post by bellefso » Tue Jun 05, 2012 5:13 am

I have a question for anyone out there using a Google calendar. I have created one and added it to the site. It shows everything at the proper times, but only shows 'Busy'. On my Google Apps site configuration for external users is set to Share Everything, but not allow changes. However when I go to the actual calendar it only shows the 'Free/Busy Only' option. When I am logged into my google account I see everything, but the rest of the team doesn't.

Not an issue with any iScore setup, but I was wondering if anyone else had this issue and what you did to get around it?

Thanks,

Brian

I do have those options...on my plain old GMail account. On my domain's account(Google apps) I have the option Share Calendar, when you check that you have two more options that become available: make Calendar public and Share with everyone in this organization(my domain name). When you check Make calendar public you get a drop down next to it, the only option in the drop down is 'Show only free/busy(hide details)' So basically the only option available is that. In the domain admin control panel I have External sharing set to Share all information, but outsiders can't change calendars.

I am just curious if there are other users who also use Google apps and ran into this issue. It appears that it works differently than the normal Google calendar does.

When you create an event, is it marked public? If not I think this can cause problems for others when viewing.

Do not check the "show only free/busy box" in the options next to make public.

Here is a shot of what I see for my options. The only option is make it public, which then implies show only free/busy. The drop down has no other options. Making the event's public has no impact on what is displayed. It appears there is some difference between a normal google calendar and how they handle the Google apps calendars.
