Syncing events page with a google calendar - php

I'm building an HTML/CSS website for a musician friend of mine and I want to have his events page sync with his google calendar. Is there some way to grab data from his calendar (date/description/location) and have the system automatically create HTML elements which will then appear on his page?
Additionally, I would like to have events move from an upcoming gig section to a past gig section after the date has passed. From what I understand, this might be possible using PHP and the Google calendar API. Any advice, however detailed, would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Take a look at fullcalendar...I do the very same thing for one of my websites:

How to add instagram feed to website in 2022?

I would like to show the last 8 images from my Instagram profile on my website.
I've just spent the last hour looking for info on this but can't find anything recent information anywhere. I can't believe something as simple as showing my latest posts can be so complicated!
I have custom built our site using HTML, PHP and jquery. I'm not interested in paid 3rd party software and Wordpress/Shopify plugins aren't relevant to me.
I'm in the same situation if it can reassure you!
Indeed according to my research I think that Instagram have put their APIs on hold because of the Metaverse and the takeover by Facebook etc...
So it is currently impossible to display our instagram news feed on our sites, whether in PHP or JS...
It's quite compelling...

PHP displaying page views for gallery style pages

This is really a point me in the right direction question. What path should I take if I want to display the number of page views each gallery page receives?
Retrieve Google Analytics Data via PHP, or
Capture the page views directly on my pages with my own PHP and mySQL setup?
Seems, like number 1 would be the better choice. I just don't know how difficult this option will be. Any insights on this?
Option 2 is definitely simpler.
If you do figure out how to get the page results out of Google Analytics, they will not be up-to-date. It takes Google at least several hours before the page views show up.
That also depends if You want to have info on more questions (statistics). I often use custom setup to track such things cause I can later use some data to do statistics about users actions.
For example, You want to give users (owners of photos) info about witch users (male or female, 30+ or below 30, and so on) are viewing. How many guests, how many registered users. There are tons of data You can retrive by building custom system.
It all depends on what You want to have at the end.
I suspect that if You want to have only raw data about number of users You coud somehow parse data from Google Analytics as well.
And as posted below. Google have to take time to update, custom setup not.

How to develop and use a Javascript Date Calendar in PHP web application?

I would like to create and add a calendar object plus select elements(comboboxes) for Day-Month-Year using HTML and JavaScript in a PHP web application.
This calendar is common used for the user input for dates like:-
From Date : 01/11/2010 - To Date : 10/11/2010
The calendar should have a nice-look, displayed automatically when the user changes the date comboboxes or presses an attached link and may work in parallel with the date combboxes so the user can select using the comboboxes or the calendar without conflict.
How to do that as I searched a lot of web sites but I did noty find a suitable calendar.
Also, how to make this calendar as a library or class so I can use and edit it in any web page in my web application especially that I need to use it frequently ?
Note : Please I want examples using Simple JavaScript without using JQuery..
Thanks in advance ..

Creating a client editable events calendar in html or php

A prospective client wants to have a calendar feature on their website. They want the option to go edit this calendar to update the events. Does Word Press offer something like this?
I've seen people use Google Calendar for this. Then you can easily embed google cal in your web pages. Also, if others use Google Cal they can add evens to their calendars.

Update: Looks like this plugin will help with getting google cal into Wordpress if that's what you're looking for :
WoogleCal
Sounds like you might be searching for this.
I'm not sure if Wordpress has that feature but I do know of a Calendar class for PHP that's fairly simple, easy to implement and very easy to style. Check out the tutorial, here.
There is also a PEAR package for calendaring: http://pear.php.net/package/calendar
I second the embeddable Google Calendar. They are very easy to manage as well as add it to the HTML. If you are looking for a Wordpress specific solution in particular take a look at this plugin.
