Hi All,

Been searching for a script that basically can take events from Google Calendar and display them on my website if a sort of ticker single line style box, like the :: Pausing RSS scroller (http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex17/rsspausescroller/index.htm) CNN News feed in the demo, with the date then the event showing.

Tried a few, including the above but either can't read Google Calendar, or it's format is not displayed well.

Thanks

GW

To save me or someone else some time, which did you try where:


or it's format is not displayed well.

That one, whatever it is sounds promising. The format can usually be tweaked.

I have used this code at http://james.cridland.net/code/google-calendar.txt which grabs the events fine, but i can't find anything that can then add the events into a single line ticker for the website.

I currently use DHTML News Ticker by ScriptOcean http://www.scriptocean.com but that means more work entering the events into it's data file, where as i could do my event updating in MS Outlook, then use GoogleCalSync to sync with the calendar and have a script on the website to read it straight from there.
