I am very impressed about how easy gcalender cam import google calendars. After that is done it is very easy to set up acalendar view in the component or in a module. This is realy perfect for our hockey club for showing calenders for 10 teams (4 calendars each).
However, I cannot use gcalendar as it is now, as the site is slowed down while ggalendar is loading the calendars. This may not be a problem if you just are handling few google calendars. Thus, I use googles embeded calendar view as iframe. With this solution the site loads fast and the calendar shows up a while after. If gcalendar could do it the same way - I would be a happy man.
Anyway - thanks for a great extension!

Can't commend this highly enough. I have ran the 1.5 version for the last couple of years and it's been great, but recently I migrated my site to Joomla 2.5 and installed the latest version. The whole process was seamless and the result on the website is fantastic. Absolutely delighted. Keep up the good work

Happy to say that after the update from 2.6.1 to 2.6.4 it started to work. Usin' it with Joomla 1.7. on my school's website.

We used this for the last year on our Joomla 1.7 install, we upgraded to 2.5 and moved to MSSQL, it looks like we will no longer be able to use this product unless they add support for for MSSQL. I hope they do soon because its a great product we have used to great effect.

I think this great extension. When I use web hosting, it's ok.
but when i work with my computer in my office. and at my office need ntlm authentication, this extension doesn't support..

please help for this problem

I love this and have used in many sites I've developed.

GCalendar is simply the most versatile Event Calendar extension suite there is, hands down. You can either have a traditional calendar, or an agenda-like list of events, or a list of regular weekly events. You can have more than one module, with different events from the same agenda by using different word/tag filters (in a website I developed for a church, I can have two different "Upcoming Events" modules, one for the regular weekly events and other for special and unique events to come just using a word filter).

Just once I had a small issue with the spinning wheel of death, but after resizing the calendar to a slightly smaller size, it worked wonderfully (just a heads up if anyone else has this issue).

Anyway, I don't have enough words to praise such wonderful set of extensions.

This is an excellent extension with equally excellent support. If it wasn't already developed, someone would have to... Highly recommended!

I use this on sites that want to incorporate a Google calendar. It is Google calendar on steroids. The modules are a good addition to display upcoming events across the website and look good too. The support is very good the forum is very active. The only thing that is kind of a pain to configure is the times and dates. All based on the PHP strings. On the up side it makes it very customizable. The popup map feature is really cool. The new version 2.5.1 hides the map if the location is not entered. This is perfect for events without an address. The previous version showed it regardless. There is no other extension for Google calendar like this.

Easy to use, intriguing, possibly the best solution on which more-or-less others event reminder had built.

I am very happy with this component.

This component is a simple way to include your google calendar on your website.

It does not give you the ability to edit you google calendar events from your site! This is not a problem for me considering I chose to use google calendar in the first place and not an inbuilt calendar.

It will display your calendar in either a google view or the gcalendar view. It also has a couple mods to allow you to show upcoming events and the calendar as a module.

Simple to install and easy yo create a menu item, set time, include calendar name, description above and below.

I found the Gcalendar view works great on pc, ipad and android. perfect way to include a google calendar on your site.

Installed this extension as part of a class project for my first course in web design. The course used Joomla, and I needed a calendar for the business site I was building. Gcalendar was the perfect solution. It was easy to install, configure, and activate. Since it is built on existing applications from Google, I knew what to expect from the calendar, and this extension provides a view to the Google calendar that is up and running. Highly recommended for the novice to pro web designer.

I've started using GCalendar due to so many clients already familiar with Google Calendar but I was having problems with the AM/PM thing in the USA. Laoneo just updated his wonderful component to be fully PHP compliant and... it WORKS! Thank you so very much for such a great time saver.

Simple and easy to use even for a !joomla new user, just followed the instructions in the documentations and watched the videos demonstrations.
Had to find out re. the following:
* Google calendar ID;
* Create new calendar;
* Remove URL "Powered by...".

One of the best extensions I ever used on my sites with very nice option to add events directly from gmail account (google calendar).
I had a problem with JQuery, but I solved it with "jQuery Easy" plugin.

We used it to show a Gmail with multiple calendars inside.
A little bit of searching - no help needed - it works
Multiple colored - easy to show

Good work guys! Keep on!
Thanks for the free software

This component looks amazing and I respect the reviews of those who have come before me, but this component with modules and plugins was just WAY TOO complicated for me. Joomla has been a part of my life for the past 5 years. I understand the importance of perseverance when it comes to some of these applications. So, I committed myself to the process, like normal.

But after 2 1/2 hours of fiddling with this I am extremely frustrated with not being able to load my own content. After 1 hour, I decided to slow down, retrace my steps, and follow the steps in the tutorials more closely. But one hour and a half later - NOTHING. Absolutely NONE of my content will pull into the calendar. It looks like many others have been able to get the hang of this, thus the positive ratings.

But, as for my own personal experience, I have wasted 2.5 hours of my time trying to get this component to work. Worthless. Very frustrating.

Fair rating because it looks good and because some have been able to get it work.

I've actually sat down and extensively used some of the other event calendars available and this is, by far, the best available.... for me.

Many options available. The support team is very knowledgeable although I've never personally registered on the forum myself, I did look up some information on the forum. Since the team actually responded well to other people with similar questions, I didn't need to ask my own question and reinvent a similar issue.

The ability to have my clients add events to their own calendar is imperative. I create websites for restaurants and bars. So, allowing them to log on to their Google calendar via the web or using their iPhone or Droid is just awesome, and they love it. Ever try using JEvents from the front end? Well, if you haven't, I would never suggest it and you still can't use your iPhone or Droid to create events for JEvents as far as I know... (I could be incorrect there) If you can, information is very scarce.

I was satisfied with JEvents until I actually needed my clients to use it, and then I was almost embarrassed to watch them try to add events. And this is something that they would be doing almost daily.

GCalendar is very clean, is a breeze for ANYONE to use on the front end and has many options available as it is pretty transparent with Google's API. If you want to modify some of the php, you will find that GCalendars footprint is VERY small compared to other similar event calendars.

I even stumbled across a message from one of the users asking how to remove the copyright and the developer let him know exactly what to do without hesitation. I know that the copyright isn't a HUGE deal... but, here's what that tells me...
to me, it just goes to show how confident they feel about their product that they don't need to advertise on your page. Sure, they have every right to... but, they know that GCalendar beats every other event calendar out there, hands down. And that every once in a while, their product will reach a user like me, that wants to take an extra 10 minutes out of his day to make sure that credit is given to the people that deserve it in the form of this review....

Thanks very much for this you all!
Terrific work!

I've installed this component to have a user friendly calendar om my website (obvious) but after an upgrade from a certain module, the calendar was showing only the well known 'spinning wheel'.
After contact with the developer the problem was solved quickly :-)

Great component, but now I can't:
- view attachments (even though I know it's still a labs, but it would be very useful);
- see my other calendars, that is if I create another calendar with my Google account I see the events only if I go in my account, but I don't see in my site the events created in the new calendar;
It would be perfect if also these two option would run, so I could use Google calendar in the best way.
