Easy configuration, CSS based customization and performance gains through AJAX and advanced caching mechanism are the main targets of this extensions.
The whole suite contains different extensions which are listed here:
* The component is the heart of the GCalendar suite and shows different kinds of calendars in the main part.
* The Upcoming Events module shows the next events of your calendar as a list.
* The GCalendar module shows the google calendar at a module position.
* The Next module shows a countdown timer till the next events starts.
* The search plugin adds the functionality to search for events.
* The next plugin embeds upcoming events into articles.
So feel free to give it a try. Don't hesitate to post in the forum if you have a question or open a new issue if you need a feature!!
How google himself sees his calendar service:
Organize your schedule and share events with friends. With Google's free online calendar, it's easy to keep track of life's important events all in one place.
Slight problem with SEF but its easily fixable.
Thanks you very much for this great Calendar, is very easy to configure and the support in the forum is fantastic. The first problem encountered (Spinning Wheel Work-Around) was fixed immediately by reading the forum!
I have installed this extension in a Joomla 1.7 site. Since it is a bridge between Joomla and Google Calendar, I could expect some login problems. Nope! I installed, read the documentation, imported a calendar from Google and published in my site. All this took me about 10 or 15 minutes, with no errors at all. As I think Google does an excellent work in this calendar, and the bridge works so well, I think this is a perfect option for a Joomla Calendar.
Using this on a 1.5x site. Works great and looks very clean. A big plus for me is how well it combines multiple calendars. Easy to use and customize. Also the free support on the forums is top notch. Within minutes of asking a question I had a developer and mod helping me fix my issue.
Overall a great product.

This component and its module takes a little research to find the exact parameters you need to tweak your dates and times because different sections use different codes.
However, it is free, powerful and beautiful. I wish the reviewer before me who gave it 1 star would have contacted the developer before posting the review, because it has the GCalendar view and the Google view as it has for several iterations. I'm using it on 1.7, and it works great!
Kudos!

I've got a new site, nice and clean. Installed Joomla 1.7, then the latest version of YooTheme. Then installed the latest version of GCalendar. Everything seemed perfect until I added events to the calendar....it all works perfect except you can't read the text on the events in Gcalendar. The background and text are the same color and no matter what I try I can't seem to fix display differently. I guess it could be an ID 10 T error, but at this point, I don't think I'm doing anything wrong. Tool tips shows the proper info, and the the other modules seem to work...only the calendar is having the problem.
I really love this extension and am actually using it in preference to other calendar extensions where I can.
The component itself is easy to set up and add new calendars, and the layout is very easy to understand and intuitive.
The support is active and has helped me resolve several problems. It does have a few issues which can cause jquery conflicts but these are well documented in the forum.
All in all, a really useful extension.

I like this plugin, but I've just had a head-scratching hour or five working out what was causing a "spinning wheel of death" problem, with the calendar data not loading. It conflicted with googleMaps. The latest release of googleMaps fixed the problem, which prevented the calendar data loading.
Keep up the good work.

Just installed this extension this evening and am so glad to have it. Also, I'm sure that since I just installed it today, I'm probably not even using it to it's full potential yet! Thanks for such an outstanding extension!
I was looking for a way to show calendar items in a J1.6 site and didn't find too many options.
I stumbled across this one and have been impressed with how it functions.
I tested it at first with just my own gmail based Google Calendar to see how it looked. And it looks good. I find with many of the calendar components that the overall design is lacking - and not being a great designer or coder myself, I find it hard to modify them.
So the design is really neat - and you have the two options of using the Google Calendar iframe view or a nicer looking embedded view.
So then I setup the calendars from my Google Apps domain (for the site I'm building). I ran into some troubles here - but this was mostly due to the PHP setup on my WAMP server. Also had a bit of trouble with some SSL peer verification but was able to quickly find a fix in the forums.
Now I have my site running and able to display multiple calendars for my organisation - for example I have a generic calendar as well as a staff specific calendar - colour coded just like it is in the Google interface.
Overall, I'm pretty impressed with how easy this component has been to install and implement.

This was one of my first extensions on my first-ever Joomla site. Although I wasn't able to get it to work on a local (xampp) install, once the site was "live" (and server had php V.5+), everything worked excellent.
I needed a calendar for our local pony club that I could edit/update easily, and also assign specific people to update without accessing the back-end of the site. This extension gave me all that, plus the integration of Google maps for our events is a "hit" with our club members. I also enabled the "upcoming events" module which is real handy too.
The documentation is very good and also the videos I found at avmaximus were very helpful.
I had a slight layout issue with one of my templates and the developer answered very quickly in the forum with an easy fix.
A big THANK YOU to this developer for what must have been a ton of work ...all for free!

I had this set up in minutes, this is much better than several of the commercial calendars on the front end.
The only disadvantage of this is that if you want to have administrators manage the calendar they will need to do it from Google Calendars.
Its also worth noting that the addon Ninja Shadowbox was conflicting with this addon. I was unable to load the Overview module or NextEvent module while it was enabled. I had to disable them to activate the calendar, I have no idea how to fix this at this point.

Great extension for its ease of use and well thought out interface. A system check is a nice feature to verify your settings are correct. Simple and exactly what I need.
Thanks for the hassle free download and good documentation.
