I posted this in the help forum, but this is probably a better place... The embedded calendar iframe shows a bad message when the user is not logged in. If the user is not logged into his calendar, the iframe states "Events from one or more calendars could not be shown here because you do not have the permission to view them." This message mid- diagnoses the problem, since the problem is actually that the user is not logged in (and if logged in, the user would have permission).
I know embedded calendars are supposed to be public -- but for reasons too mundane to go into here, my users don't want that. I'd love to use the embedded calendar, but as I described above, the message shown to the user only confuses them. My only other alternative is to write an enormous amount of (probably buggy) code to fetch and show their appointments using the data API -- and of course, the result would never look as nice as the embedded calendar. I've searched this issue, and numerous other people have run into the same issue. A simple change to the user message would solve the problem. [An alternative would be for Google to provide a way of testing whether the user is logged in. That way I could show the user a helpful message. But my understanding is that it's impossible to test whether the user is logged in (from threads such as http://groups.google.com/group/google-calendar-help-dataapi/msg/4d55f1ea6698dd39).] --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Calendar Data API" group.
