Is there a way to have the events from the CWS (I enter the info as a "new event" in the content section) link up to Google Calendar (or any "visual" calendar if there is a better way)? Or vice versa?
I've been playing around with the settings and the developers sections even though someone else set up my website that is based on the CWS. I say that so that you know I am not a expert.
If you download the start package at http://our.umbraco.org/projects/business-website-starter-pack, you could have a look at the iCalExport xslt file, which does this for you. By enabling an iCal export you can hook google calendar into the export link add entries into google calendar. I'm sure that the code could be modified to work on CWS events.
Thanks Dan, I wish I could get an email notification when someone responds to a forum question. Sorry for the short delay.
I did look and installed the business pack on the local website I use to try things and see that I have a few xslt files now. You're going to hate that and I hate to do it but this seems pretty complicated to me. While my CWS hasn't changed I see a bunch of new xslt files. How do I take what I want out of all that? I really don't know where to start...
I have had good luck on this site to get some help and things to work but if you think this is over my head, let me know.
Link Events from CWS to Google Calendar
Hello,
Is there a way to have the events from the CWS (I enter the info as a "new event" in the content section) link up to Google Calendar (or any "visual" calendar if there is a better way)? Or vice versa?

Thank you in advance,
Christophe

Almost 2 sleepless nights but it was really good exercise. I finally figured it out. After all that experience it doesn't seem too bad now.
I tried to replicate the calendar but it's all out of whack. How does the calendar stay in line and what makes the events pop out?
Sorry for the bother...
