I've been using GCalendar for years which has worked faultlessly. Have now updated to DPCalendar which is now also working perfectly for us. Best solution for displaying Google Calendar on a Joomla website.

We are using it for years and we are still satisfied. Thanks!

Dissapointed

Was a great extension, now is counter intuitive to use, settings not working properly, I go to edit an event as I imputed the wrong date to start with, and even after deleting it the next revision keeps the deleted date. No support unless you buy a pro version which compared with other extensions that do more, is over priced. Furthermore if I cannot get the basic version to do the basic tasks then I will not be buying any addons.

I have used Joomla on over 30 sites since 1.0 and this is my biggest disappointment so far!



Bring back the old GCalendar it looks and works much better.
it's a shame that this extension now have an expiration date... november 2014!



...and the "new" free version doesn't integrate Google Calendar.



I'm sad. :(
Owner's reply: The demand of the community to have a free version which stores it's events in the Joomla database was big. So we took that chance to go a slightly other direction. But for the old GCalendar users there is a migration path where you can have your existing GCalendar setup running within the free version of DPCalendar.

Google decided to shut down their API which GCalendar uses in November. The Pro version uses the much faster, secure and feature rich API v3 which is active developed by Google and will work after November.

We believe that the new direction is the right way to go as the possibility of extending DPCalendar Free is much bigger than it was with the code base of GCalendar.
We needed to include Google Calendars on several web sites. iFrame just wouldn't cut it. GCalendar installed quick, works great. And when we had a question about the extension got a quick response back by email.

Can't beat that!



NOTE: We tried to reproduce the speed issues mentioned by DanielP90, but couldn't reproduce them. Possibly some conflict between other extensions. We've installed on a couple sites and there was no speed issues at all.

Was fine at first

I installed this so clients could see my available days to make it easier to book a photo shoot. It started off fine and it's nice that it tailors itself to your template.



After a few days my website started getting slower and slower, even the backend was taking over a minute to load.



I followed all the instructions I got from the developers but sadly it didn't make a difference. I therefore decided to disable all 3 parts of the extension in the manager. As soon as I'd done this pages were loading in about 2 - 3 seconds.



I really did want to enjoy this extension but I was fed up of waiting for my own website to load, god knows what my customers would think.

Filled its purpose

I used the G4J calendar for a year or two on our church website, to present upcoming church activities. I think the extension must have come a long way since I last used it, but here are my impressions from back then.



PROS:

* Very customisable.

* Displayed events from multiple Google calendars.

* Paid help from the developer was prompt, effective and at a good price.



CONS:

* You really needed to be above average in technical skills (CSS helped).

* It seemed notoriously difficult to actually get the thing to display your Google calendar.



It was a good extension, though quite complicated. I tried pretty well all the Joomla calendars available, and this one was the best I found.



These days I just embed the calendar widget from Google, and that's all I need.

Really Good!

It hard to imagine better extension than this. Everything was very easy to install and configure. All documentation was up to date and helped. I had some Jquery problems in the beginning, but a little tweaking helped to solve them.

Being rather new to joomla, it took me perhaps a few extra steps to understand the mechanisms of the GCalendar extension, but once in place, I could not be more satisfied!!

The ease now to display numerous calendars of events for our association is superb, and GCalendar faithfully displays changes within seconds.

One extremely happy customer here.
Just wanted a simple component to show some events, and I got it!



Since it requires your gmail login to create/import calendars, you might have problem with authentication on Google's end, but just read the documentation on how to allow this component to connect, and it will work like a charm! :)



Thanks for a great and easy calendar.
