[Pro] Google Calendar

Hi,

I have used an embedded Google Calendar on my Freeway Pro page here: http://www.upchurchmatters.co.uk/upchurchmattersb.html

There is an option on Google’s site to put a background colour under the whole Calendar, but not one to change the Blue of the Calendar to another colour.

I have placed it as Mark Up item and wondered whether there is a way to change this in Freeway or in the code some how ?

Thanks,

Louis.

Hi Louis,
I don’t think you can do this at all easily. Although you can change the background colour of the calendar directly on Google’s site before you grab the calendar code it doesn’t provide an option to change any of the other colours. To make matters harder you can’t even overwrite the default stylesheets for the calendar because of the way that they are displayed from within an iFrame - you just don’t have access to these unless the calendar is actually embedded in your page.

The closest I can see to a workable solution is this PHP script which pre-fetches the calendar code and replaces the colors on the fly every time the page is loaded;

It strikes me as a little heavy handed, a lot of work for the server and possibly even against Googles terms of service but, in the end, it should work.
Regards,
Tim.

Yes - I used something similar on this example http://www.deltadesign.co/fw_examples/other/calendar.html
