Question

My company works mostly on Google and we would like to put up a Google Calendar on our island that showed what days we are doing trainings and on island office hours. Google makes it so that a lot of us can edit the calendar to add our own hours and events whenever we want and it is something that everyone is used to so it is basically a must that the calendar is accessible this way. 

However, I'm having the hardest time finding information about how to go about putting up a real-time Google calendar. I know it has been done before but I can't seem to find a purchasable object or how to convert the HTML that Google provides into something that works with the code in Second Life.

Am I making this too hard? Do I really just enter in the HTML code into an object's script? Or has Google updated their calendars so that they are no longer compatible with SLURL? 

Thank you for reading.

Many years ago, I scripted several applications that imported Google calendar information that could be parsed and displayed in chat summaries. Those scripts all stopped working a couple of years ago when Google redesigned their calendar system.  It is possible to display a Google calandar as a static web page with Media On A Prim (MOAP - Linden Lab's Shared Media), but not to edit or abstract it.  This has been a frustration for the organization I did most of the scripting for, but there seems to be no way around it.  It is still certainly possible for anyone who has permission to edit a Google calendar to edit it on line.  They just can't grab the HTML and manipulate it meaningfully with LSL.
