All I want to do is embed a google calendar into the body of an article. I don't want to use gcalendar or any other extension. I have calendars set up as wrappers in menus, but can't figure out how to get a google calendar into an article. Thanks.

There are several ways to do this.

First of all, Google gives you the code to embed in your article that will put the calendar in there for you.

Normally you would have to switch to <html> view to put the embed code, but extensions like Sourcerer and Jumi do make it a lot easier.

But, you can do it just using the Joomla editor if don't want to use any extensions.

So, edit your article. At the place you want to embed the Google Calendar code, switch to <html> or <source code> view ... paste the code that Google gives you (it's a basic "iframe" code) and then save your article, That should do it for you.

I downloaded Sourcerer and installed. But, I can't get it to work. Here is my iframe code from Google:

<iframe src="https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?mode=AGENDA&amp;height=600&amp;wkst=1&amp;bgcolor=%23FFFFFF&amp;src=anwsu.org_2d3835363737353435373236%40resource.calendar.google.com&amp;color=%232F6309&amp;src=anwsu.org_cr8b2baqfpldni0h8etd8lcr9g%40group.calendar.google.com&amp;color=%23691426&amp;src=vergenneselementary%40anwsu.org&amp;color=%23853104&amp;src=lsprague%40anwsu.org&amp;color=%238C500B&amp;ctz=America%2FNew_York" style=" border-width:0 " width="400" height="600" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>

When I click the "insert code" button and place that code between the two instances of "source" it just displays the code in the article. It doesn't actually show the calendar. What am I missing here?

I'm not sure, but make sure that you "enabled" the Sourcerer plugin.

Go to Extensions -> Plugin Manager. Find the Sourcerer plug in and make sure that it is "enabled."

Let us know how it goes.

Go to Google Gadgets For Your Webpage http://www.google.com/ig/directory?synd=open&hl=en&gl=&q=calendar, select the gadget format that you required, click the tab "Add To Your Webpage", Change the Display Settings & Gadget Settings till you are satisfied with the preview. Then click on "Get The Code", copy the HTML code provided. Login to your Joomla admin, open the article, click on the HTML icon, insert the Gadget HTML code into the body of the article. Click update. After updated, click save.

I'm trying to do exactly the same thing as this poster... however, when I save the article, the html disappears. It happens every time. I've tried turning off the editor (as suggested in other posts) but that also turns off the html option.

Help! This should be simple but so far has taken hours of my time. I've even tried an Extension, which didn't work, so I'm back to trying to do it the old-fashioned way.

Any suggestions? Thanks!!

By default, the Tiny MCE editor does indeed "clean up" your html code (especially iframes / wrappers) which have some inherent risk.

So, in Joomla 1.5, be sure that you have turned off the "cleanup html" in the editor plug-in.

Extensions -> Plug-in manager -> Editor - Tiny MCE

Likewise, go to the article manager and click on the "Parameters" option in the upper right corner.

Scroll down near the bottom and set "super-admin" (or whatever level you are) to be "No html filtering."

See if that makes a difference for you.

Thanks jmuehleisen for trying to help. I've set everything as you suggested; still doesn't work. I can see the calendar in the article until I save it; then it disappears, even with all the html code settings set as directed.

Any other ideas?? :/

Well, something (obviously) is cleaning up the code for you.

Which editor are you using? Tiny MCE or JCE? (the JCE settings are elsewhere if you are using that editor).

I've tried every editor that I have installed, which are/is several: Tiny MCE, JoomlaCK, JoomlaFCK, JCE 1.5.6, and No Editor. I've tried with all 3, but most recently with Tiny MCE after following your instructions for turning off the html cleaning.

I wonder if I need to disable all the other editors first under Plugins rather than in Global Config? I would think that if an editor wasn't 'turned on' in GC then it wouldn't have any effect, but I guess it's worth a shot unless you have another idea.

Hmmm.

Check if you have specified a default editor for yourself in the user manager (it should be set to "Select Editor")

Thanks... it is set to -Select Editor- (meaning no editor is selected).

I also disabled ALL the other editors in my Plugins manager, even though I don't think that would affect anything.

Still no dice.

I had already searched for "html disappears" in this forum prior to posting on this thread, but none of the suggestions I found worked.

I agree with you -- *something* is stripping the html, but what? If you have any other ideas, I'm all ears. Thanks so much for spending your valuable time trying to help me. :)

Hmmm. You are doing everything that I would do.

My only suggestion is go back and double check everything, but I suspect you've already triple checked it.

I've had this problem since I started using 1.7, in 1.5 I had no problem getting it done by disabling the editor, but anyhow this is the only way I have been able to get it to work in 1.7(and I assume 1.6 is the same)

What I had to do was edit the table in mysql and put the embed code there. In my case I wanted the google calendar embedded in a category page, so i added the embed code <iframe src="blahblahblah"</iframe> into the description field for the category i wanted it in... for categories they are in xxxxx_categories, for articles I believe you can find it in xxxxx_content in mysql and past the code in the intotext or fulltext field(i haven't tried doing it in an article myself so i'm speculating here).

Anyhow, putting the code into the db itself is the only way I have been able to embed google calendars into a page. I've tried endless editors and the code is always stripped out when I hit save, hope this helps ya.

One caveat to this is if you go to edit the article/category after, it will strip out the code again; so you'll want to do the calendar last, or you will have to edit the db again to replace it.

Having the same problem - where exactly did you correct this please. Can't find it... :-[

Upon further investigation I found it in the Plugin Manager .... Editor - TinyMCE

You can create the iframe wrapper menu. Enter url as "https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=~" but without quotation marks. I am still to investigating how to adjust the size, but without any style codes, it appears to be fine.
