Google Calendar: Now available on your Firefox sidebar
In the past we've covered how to put Google Notebook and Google Personalized Home in your sidebar. And although you were able to see your calendar through iGoogle in the sidebar, there's a better alternative that is cleaner, better, and most importantly, all about the calendar.Mitch from Firefox Facts came up with this solution by tearing some code out of the iGoogle gadget. Nicely enough, it comes without the extras of iGoogle and is better than Google's mobile calendar site. You can select to view any of the upcoming appointments from any of your calendars, all below the month overview. And best of all, obviously, it loads in your sidebar.
Clean, sharp, simple. Here's how to make it happen:
- Bookmark this link: Google Calendar Sidebar
- Go to your bookmarks, find the bookmark you just made, right-click and select "Properties."
- In the "Properties" pop-up, select "Load this bookmark in sidebar" and hit "OK."
- Click the link and your calendar should load up in the sidebar (as long as you're logged into your Google account).
- Rinse and enjoy.

For Google applications I had to change the URL. http://www.google.com/calendar/hosted/myappsdomain.com/...

Doesn't work for me. Then again, the iGoogle gadget has never worked for me either. I suspect it is because my locale is the UK and not the US. Oh well... :-(

Pretty cool! Though I like just leaving a Google calendar tab open when I need it. Can't wait until web apps can run as their own apps like we have sort of seen. This needs to be standardized real quick for the sake of my browsers stability!

Pretty cool. The only problem is I can't figure out how to get it to go back to my regular bookmarks sidebar without using the view-->sidebar-->bookmarks menu option.

nice, but I wish there was a way to get the day view instead of the agenda view.

Thanks for the tip. It works with Opera too (I don't have FF).

This works with Opera panels too. Just add web panel and enter the link.

To change the event list date format from US m/d to UK/AU d/m, change 'up_dateFormat=0' to 'up_dateFormat=1' in the URL string.
