I have been looking into creating some form of calendar/scheduling module for Drupal using the Google Calendar. I have started by generating a module that displays a daily, weekly and monthly schedule based on the entries in the calendar. To do this I have used the Zend GDATA API's for Google to access and extract the calendar data.

I now have a demo version up and running which can be found at http://www.sbrogers.com/consultancy/ which is a Drupal 6 site I have set up to test the module.

Doing the development locally is fine ( I use XAMPP) and therefore I can change the php include path to suit what I need, but to be able to host the Zend Framework (it contains the GDATA API's) on an external site is another matter. But, as usual, the ISP I now host my new sites with came good AGAIN. I emailed them with what I needed and how it should be set up and they did a great job of enabling the Zend framework for me , so a big thank you to ImageLeet (and their support guys) for sorting my query yet again.

A screenshot of the weekly schedule can be seen here. It uses jquery to open and close the schedule item when the item title is clicked. The screen shot shows one of the schedule items open with the others shut.
