How Does This Calendar Work?

I can't figure out how this Calendar works (not my site). It's connected to Google Calendars but how have they managed to format it the way they have without any Google branding?

if you rollover the calendar, the links look like database queries.

It downloads a .ics file so it could be some kind of plug-in system, it's hard to tell.

Yeah I've looked through the source code and cannot see anything obvious in there either. Will wait to see if anyone else has any suggestions on how to achieve something similar.

my guess at it is...
he has a custom events.php file which searches the archives/posts/events based on the month & year on the calender... or it could even be a plugin like edgray said

When you say plugin, are you referring to a piece of code created by someone else? Apologies for the obvious question.

Yeah, just a plug-in to either a CMS or a pre-made script that's been chucked in.

It creates an .ics file to download, a very common calendar format, so I'm thinking it's not bespoke.

Try searching on a site like hotscripts.com for a calendar script. Let us know if you find a good one!

Howdy. I noticed a visit from this site in our logs. I run the site in question.

Information about the api I used can be found at http://code.google.com/apis/calendar/

The little calendar on the right is a modified version of one from http://keithdevens.com/software/php_calendar . You will have to modify it to work with google calendars.

Hope this helps.

Hi Nik,

Thank you very much for taking the time to pop-over and reply. Very much appreciated.

I came across the Google API shortly afterwards whilst searching, but the keith devens calendar is a great help, thanks!
