I have written a website for work that is my first proper website - it has all gone so well with advice and tutorials online to help. However, I seem to have hit my biggest issue. I want to put a calendar onto the website, but neither the Outlook option nor the Google option have worked.
I have an Outlook account through work, but our options are locked out for security reasons by the main IT department, so getting past the export/embedding issues there is not possible.
I created a Google account and calendar, and dutifully copied over the embed code for my calendar into the webpage. However it only displays the calendar while I am logged into the Google account, not when I log out. It is invisible to anyone else, which makes it pointless. I have tried using the Google forum to troubleshoot it, to no avail. They all say that what I have done should work beautifully every time.
Fine, I thought, I’ll see whether there is a free template or tutorial, as there have been for my other website learning. I saw loads of beautiful templates in HTML and CSS, or with bits of JavaScript included, but somehow I cannot seem to get them to work.
I’m fairly confident that I could design a nice looking calendar with HTML and CSS. The bit I will struggle with is learning how to write the active part of the thing, where it allows events to be added by authorised users and will scroll ahead through the year/s. Has anyone got any experience or advice they could share to help me use the templates well or write my own calendar?
