Description David Carver CLA 2008-01-13 09:35:36 EST
Many groups are starting to use Google Calendar for tracking the dates for their releases.  It would be nice to be able to embed these calendars into the wiki pages.   There is an existing media wiki extension that allows this to happen.

I've installed the plugin.  It does seem to slow down the page a little, since it has to communicate with Google.

It only slows down pages that use it, right, not all the wiki?  Last I checked people were complaining about our wiki's performance.

Also, how do we use it?

Also, do we have a wiki page that lists all the installed extensions?
Comment 3 Eclipse Webmaster CLA 2008-01-24 11:07:26 EST
Yes, it only impacts pages that use the extension.

Use with <googlecalendar>user%40gmail.com</googlecalendar> or see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:GoogleCalendar for other ooptions.

And SpecialPages->Version will tell you what extensions are installed.

Works perfectly.  Here's a page with it being used:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/XSL_Release_Plan

Also, you have the following additional parameters that go on the <googlecalendar> element:

width = either the pixels or page percentage i.e. 100% goes across the entire space
title = Allows you to customize the title.
bgcolour = adjusts the background color.
