Is it possible to insert the code for wpng-calendar somewhere other than the header?

Or, as least, at the very bottom of the header, like after my “all in one seo pack” info?

Wpng-calendar is great and all, but with its 36 lines of code before my metadata its killing my seo

thanks in advance

Hi,

I’m up and running now on Wordpress 2.5. I got stuck twice following the instructions. First, in 2.5, you need to go to Settings to find the Calender Widget Tab. Second, I did not understand how to get the “full” feed from Google. I simply changed the word basic to full at the end of the code I copied from Google and it worked.

I hope this helps others.

Regards,

John.

hi,
I installed it and works on wordpress 2.5 and also works with sites not hosted by wordpress too.

I have a question though, about the customization, I’m trying to change the colors of the box popping out when clicking on every event and I can’t figure out ow to change the colors of the box.
also, does anyone knows if is possible to configure the links titles?

Works like a charm with WP 2.5. Only strange thing that happened is that it changed how inline images were displayed on my frontpage. Don’t know how that happened, and as I couldn’t find a way to localize the script to show German dates I had to deinstall after five minutes. Nice plugin anyways!

Can anyone verify that this works on WP 2.5? I have tried endlessly to get it to work. Everything loaded to my WP site. correctly. Api key everything..
I also cant see how to get a full calendar XML, idid change the last word like the poster above mentioned..but did not solve..

Great article Peter

I have been looking for a decent wordpress plugin or manual php events solution for ages. I like the idea of using the custom fields for this plugin.

Im going to give this a try, but is there a way to display a calendar view instead of the feed list on sidebar?

Im trying to keep the design and code minimal so would be helpful if you could clear this up…

I’ve been struggling with this one for a day, and it wasn’t until I read this site that I realised I’d neglected to RTFM properly and stuffed up the install - hadn’t put all the folders in my plugins folder. FTP’d up all the necessary files and bingo! Works like a charm!

Well, I absolutely cannot get this plugin to work. Is it a problem with WP 2.5. I’m a programmer myself (embedded software, no windows or web stuff) and I’ve configured this thing as best as I can tell to be correct, but NOTHING shows up on my calendar page I’ve created. The widget doesn’t even show anything. The feed works just fine, I can see it in firefox. And yes, I linked to the full version, not the basic. It’s basically not showing up at all.
