Google Calendar Secret iCal Link

[Lauren Pittenger]

Hi,

I’m looking for a solution to display events from two private Google calendars without sharing those calendars publicly. We want the events on the website to only be shown to logged-in users.

I see Google gives us a “Secret address in iCal format” that can be used to access the calendar from other applications without making it public. Would we be able to use this secret iCal format with the Event Aggregator? And is it possible to schedule the import or is it manual only?

Thanks!

Lauren

Hey Lauren! Always fun finding familiar faces here.

I just did a test using my own secret calendar https://cloudup.com/cntRCw5Wr6I and was able to get the import to fetch the preview for me. This can be scheduled

You didn’t mention a solution to display the calendar to only logged-in users. At this time, we don’t have that functionality built in, but if you think that is something you would like as a feature I encourage you to visit our User Voice Page and either upvote an existing request or make a new request there.

You can suggest it it http://tribe.uservoice.com.

I’d be curious to hear how you achieve that in the meantime.

Hopefully this year I’ll make it back to WC Philly and a few other local WordCamps.

Let me know if you have more questions.

Thanks
Courtney 🙂

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics.
