Hammock Forums Event Calendar

[attroll]

We are trying on this calendar to see how it works out.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Welcome to the Hammock Forums calendar (https://hammockforums.net/HF-calendar.htm). We are working on keeping all Hammock Forum group hangs and Hammock Forums related dates in one location to help members keep track of where and when they are.

The calendar is located on Google calendars. To be able to edit the calendar or add group hangs or other Hammock Forums related items you will need a Google account.

Adding event to the calendar
Please include the following when creating/adding things to the calendar.
Title: ME > Maine hang (state abbreviation with ">" and the title of the hang)
Dates: Dates of the hang (Please put a check mark in the "all day" box for hangs
Calendar: Please make sure you chose "Hammock Forums hangs"
Description: Please put the url to the thread topic in Hammock Forums

I don't see it actually popping up any events, just shows me the calendars I already have. When you link it, make you're you're using the calendar address and not the URL that's in the omnibar.

It should look like this:
https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=02altner1q2g681udl17833f1c%40group.calen dar.google.com&ctz=America/New_York

Not this:
https://www.google.com/calendar/render?mode=day&date=20150113T003421&pli=1#g%7Cmonth-3+22940+23103+23084

Difference being the group.calendar.google bit towards the end and the embed.

I actually like seeing multiple posts. Sometimes I just skim through the most recent items and if it is all consolodated, I think a lot of folks might miss some local events. Just my two cent.

If you are not seeing this then you need to scroll down the left side under "My Calendars" and put a check mark in the "Hammock Forum hang" calendar.

It's neither under "My Calendars" nor "Other Calendars."100855

I don't see a way to make it public for everyone to see without them having a Google account. If anyone knows how to make it public without having a Google account, could someone let me know, please.

[Gresh]

Click the down arrow next to the calendar (left side of the screen towards the bottom)

Hit "Calendar Settings"

Scroll down to "Calendar Address" and hit the "HTML" link

Copy the address it gives you and spread it around the internet freely.

This is very good - maybe make it a Sticky under each of the 'Outing' sub-forum/area.
