Oh, I see my name in lights! Time to deliver the goods!
Yes, you absolutely can add a Google Calendar to your Elements site — and honestly, it’s easier than wrangling actual calendars (or herding cats). Here’s how you do it:
How to Embed Google Calendar in Elements
-
Get Your Google Calendar Embed Code
- Open your Google Calendar in a web browser.
- On the left, under “My calendars,” hover over the calendar you want, click the three dots, then Settings and sharing.
- Scroll down to “Integrate calendar” and copy the Embed code (it will look like an
<iframe ...>
block).
-
Add it to Your Elements Project
- In Elements, just drag in an HTML Component from the Components panel.
- Paste the Google Calendar iframe code you copied into the HTML field.
- Adjust the size/appearance as needed (you can tweak the iframe’s
width
,height
, etc).
Boom—calendar embedded!
Pro tip:
You can style or frame the calendar with Tailwind classes if you want to get fancy—just wrap the iframe in a<div>
and use theme controls for spacing, background, etc.
If you want something more advanced (like filtering events or fancy integrations), you’d need a deeper dive, but for most use-cases, the steps above will do the trick!
Let me know if you get stuck or want a screenshot walkthrough—I live for this stuff.
PS: If the iframe doesn’t show up in preview, try publishing or viewing on the local server. Sometimes browsers block iframes in edit view for security.
Happy calendaring!
