Problems with this extension
Ampersand problem
Google allows extra features like custom sizing of the calendar, viewing other calendars within the same iframe and removing the google logo. Eg. Adding & chrome=NAVIGATION removes the google logo.
However the problem with this is that it requires a pure & and when the iframe is written into the page the & gets converted to an & in the html page source. And so the iframe cannot recognise the query after the & because it needs a pure &. Thus the extra google calendar features do not work correctly when viewed using this extension.
Usage Question
In the above example you enter your account name in the google tag. I get a view of my calendar within my MediaWiki page but it doesn't look like I can modify anything. In the Google Calendar extension source code, the usage of the tag is demonstrated differently in that you are suppose to insert the docid instead of the account name. How do I get my docid? When connecting to the calendar directly, I don't see any docid within the url.
Another Usage Question
Is there a work around for the fact that you can only load one calendar at a time? Or, is there another calendar plugin that allows you set extra features (color, size, etc.)?
