I know this is a year old, but if you happened to find a solution I’d love to know.

It does not even have to be a Google Sites page – it can be any website. Feel free to look through http://www.vps.ecape.school.za/calendar.html and http://www.vps.ecape.school.za/hockey.html as some examples of displaying public calendars aggregated in different ways. http://homes.cs.ru.ac.za/Billy/ will show you an example of showing just the free/busy details of a personal calendar. If I have shared a calendar with a specific person and they are logged in, the details will show. It works beautifully. Also take a look at Appointment Slots :-)

This is a great link, thanks!

This could be used to schedule meetings by showing someone your availability by embedding the calendar on a Google Sites page, if you have your calendar set to public.

Hi Billy – Great stuff:-) I think the Google Calendar API has moved on somewhat since I wrote this post: I’ll try to go through the comments over the next week or two to distill the various workarounds and add any updates into the original post.

Thanks to all the other comment contributors too:-)

Hi Tony, Jim, Brandt and all other contributors

Some great information here and has now got my daughter’s school website nicely “calendarised” – http://www.victoriaprimary.ecape.school.za

FotoDirk: I also ran into this limitation as I have upwards of 40 calendars. The question is, do those all have to be publically viewable in an aggregated way, or can you put up groups of lessons? Also, if you get that actual students to register on google and then import all the calendars, they will be able to see them all through the Google calendar view.

I agree, it is a limitation requiring workarounds, but life is often like that :-)

This is terrific.

Anyone know a way to do this in a widget?

Too bad it is limited to 25 calendars to embed in the HTML code today.

I would need about 40 (for an dance school, 40 different types of lessons).
If anyone should know a way how to make such an embedded calendar view with more than 25 individual calendars, please share.

Brandt – your tip was just what I needed as I couldn’t figure out how to turn the iframe code into a stand alone link. Great Work!

@scott it’s some time since I looked at this, so not sure offhand… will try to find out… (if you beat me to it, please post an update;-)

Tony, thanks for the tips. So I’m able to embed a calendar with multiple calendars into on single calendar view. Is there a way to then generate an XML link for the new aggregated calendar calendar?

Thanks!
