In reply to: [Simple Calendar - Google Calendar Plugin] Crippled out the boxI honestly do not know if it is worthwhile to explain something to you and actually I should not care. But while searching for a calendar plugin I was put off by the bad reviews and now I think some of them are the result off simple inability. Here again the proof that everything works for me!
I hope you are aware that of course you can only scroll as far as there are events in the calendar. It could of course be the problem with your hoster, but my feeling tells me it’s up to the user.
If you find another plugin with which you can navigate faster, let me know.
Greetings Klagstein.

In reply to: [Simple Calendar - Google Calendar Plugin] So buggy it’s unusable.Oh kerrythurber, come down! I’ve got the feeling now, that you are not even trying.
Sure there is still the option under the advanced tab.
You can change the default maximum interval for each individual calendar, in the “Advanced tab” in the calendar settings panel.
So go to the advacned tab of a calendar, not to the advanced tab from the plugin settings.
writing my own calendar plugin
Well, tell me when you finished the project, I will be glad to test your plugin. But meanwhile please check some information about HTTP requests and database queries. Both will increase when lowering the cache timeout and decrease the performance of your website for front-end and back-end users.
I see no reason to lower the cache timeout. The users of my website want to check the events of a year. A event change wont cause any conclusion when delayed 2 hours (max). I save more than that time by changing events mobile with google calendar app instead of doing it at home or mobile in the wp back-end.
Klagstein’s method of clearing the cache doesn’t help the calendar events propagate any faster
Did you press the accept button after choosing “clear cache” from the drop down menu? Do you use any other cache plugin like “WP Super Cache” or similar?
Is there a way to change this one?
And again I’m guessing you did not even try to solve it for your self. Go to Calendar setting (NOT THE PLUGIN SETTINGS), go to the sub menu “events” and there choose the time range you want to display.
Greetings,

In reply to: [Simple Calendar - Google Calendar Plugin] So buggy it’s unusable.Hi kerrythurber,
it’s me again.
Every calendar has its own cache refresh interval. I think the default setting is two hours.
You can clear the cache manually by clicking on “all calendars” in the menu, mark all calendar calendars and click on “clear cache” in the drop down menu.
Maybe that helps.

In reply to: [Simple Calendar - Google Calendar Plugin] Works exactly as hopedHi kerrythurber
Yes, any change is reflected immediately (I tested it some seconds ago). And no, sorry I cant tell you, what you did wrong, but I can tell you what I did.
- I created the Google Calendar API like this: YouTube link
- Added the API to the plugin settings
- Made all calendars public
- Copied all 4 Google calendar ID’s
- Used the plugin to create 10 calenders
- 4 x (with the copied google calendar ID’s) with the layout I want for the list
- 4 x (with the same 4 ID’s) with a simple layout for the widget
- 1 x merged the 4 “list” calenders and used the calendar short code to create the calendar on any page
- 1 x merged the 4 “widget” calendars and used the calendar short code to show one event on a small widget
That’s all. Now I do not have to touch the plugin, only add/change events on my google calendars.
I’ve got the feeling that you did almost the same way like me, but maybe I could help you anyway.
Greets, Klagstein
——————————————————
Here is my layout for the list and the widget calendar:4 x list layout looks like this (small google maps picture/link on the right):
<strong>[title]</strong>[start-location-link newwindow="yes"]<img class="size-full wp-image-823 alignright" src="//GoogleMaps.png" alt="" width="50" height="50" />[/start-location-link] [start-date] [start-time] - [end-time]4 x widget layout looks like this:
<strong>[title]</strong> [when]1 x merged list calender layout does not matter (setting is to show all dates within the next 5 years)
1 x merged widget calender layout does not matter (setting is just to show 1 event)
Short-term solution: “Full Width Page (no sidebar)” as template for each page or as default template
