Ray, If you have a Google Apps domain, called '[email protected]', then ALL your Google content created while logged into this domain, ends up being at http://www.google.com/a/mydomain.blablablah.edu, and NOT AT 'mydomain.blablablah.edu', so I'm really not sure why you bring up the issue of the 'testfacultyu.northwestern.edu' cookies here. THERE IS NO domain name called 'testfacultyu.northwestern.edu' OTHER than WITHIN Google Apps. To log into Google Apps for 'mydomain.blablablah.edu' , you go to: http://www.google.com/a/mydomain.blablablah.edu. Therefore, you ARE authenticating to www.google.com. I hope this is clearer now (if not, you might want to peek into the Google Apps docs). Having said all this, it is a good question whether Google Apps supports embedding of (private) calendars, although one would think that if Google Calendar is a service supported within Google Apps, then all the calendar features should work within Google Apps too. I'll try asking this question in the Google Apps mailing list (although I'm sure they're going to send me back to this list, as the question will be related to calendars :-( ). -Patricia Patricia Goldweic [email protected]

Cookies are not shared between testfaculty.northwestern.edu and www.google.com, even if testfaculty.northwestern.edu is hosted by Google. The sending of your cookies is governed by your web browser, which has no way of knowing that testfaculty.northwestern.edu is hosted by Google, and even if it did, it would not be allowed to send those cookies to google. See sections 4.3.4 and 8.3 of RFC 2019 for the relevant standard. You can use a tool such as LiveHTTPHeaders in Firefox to verify your browser is not sending the northwestern cookies (containing the authentication token) to Google. If you aren't authenticating to www.google.com, then you aren't going be able to see a calendar at google.com. Given that, there remain two possible solutions on the table, use a email address from northwestern.edu to authenticate to www.google.com (might work, don't know) or figure out calendar link at northwestern.edu to use for embedding. I don't know whether Google Apps supports embedded calendars or not.

My web page is CORRECTLY using the www.google.com domain, since that is where the calendar is hosted, and Google Apps for my domain (testfacultyu.northwestern.edu) is ALSO hosted at www.google.com, so it is not a problem with cookies of any sort. Google Apps domains are generally at: www.google.com/a/<google-app-domain-name>. Also, please note, that with my login, I can definitely see ALL the calendars THROUGH the Google GUI, but not through the embedded page. This is where the problem is. So there must be some other kind of explanation here... -Patricia _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ray Baxter Sent: Friday, June 19, 2009 1:45 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: How do I embed a private google-calendar to a private google-site? Patricia, I said in that other thread, "If you want user B to see _only_ user A's calendar at a particular url, you could embed user A's calendar in a page that you control and assuming that user B had authenticated themselves to Google Calendar in the recent past, then user B would see user A's private events. " Why it works for me and not for you? I don't know. I suspect that you are properly authenticating to Google in some way that is related to your use of Google Apps. What I do? 1) Go to the page that I mentioned http://warmroom.com/calendar when I haven't logged into Google Calendar. I don't see all calendars and do see free/busy notifications from the others. 2) Go to Google Calendar, http://www.google.com/calendar and log in with my username and password. 3) Return to http://warmroom.com/calendar . Now I can see full descriptions of all events from all three calendars. The problem with what you are doing looks to be that you are authenticating to <http://somedomain.northwestern.edu> somedomain.northwestern.edu but your embedded calendar is using the domain <http://www.google.com> www.google.com. Cookies aren't shared between those two domains. You might try to see if you can authenticate your [email protected] username to www.google.com or not, or if you can change the domain in the embedded link to somedomain (testfacultyu?) northwestern.edu Hope that helps, Ray On Fri, Jun 19, 2009 at 8:26 AM, Patricia Goldweic <[email protected]> wrote: Ray, I am not the original poster of this thread. However, as you might have realized, the thread I started at http://groups.google.com/group/google-calendar-help-dataapi/browse_thread/th read/fd12c99a321cb625# was about the same issue! Your last response made me confirm my suspicion that the goal is not achievable, but now you are pointing us to an example (that is presumably similar) and that apparently works for you. So the obvious question is, what makes this work for you, and not for us. Given your example, I created a simple test html page that tries to embed one of my private calendars residing in my Google Apps domain. Before I open this web page in my browser, I log into my Google Apps domain (this effectively lets me see my calendars in that domain within the Google GUI, since that is where they are hosted). However, the test html page always displays the following: 'Events from one or more calendars could not be shown here because you do not have the permission to view them'. I am then unable to see any events in this calendar even though I'm logged in (and it is my own calendar!). So what makes your example work that is missing in this html page? html test source follows: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- <html> <head><title>Embedding test</title></head> <body> <iframe src="http://www.google.com/calendar/hosted/testfacultyu.northwestern.edu/emb ed?title=Last%20BB105%20Calendar <http://www.google.com/calendar/hosted/testfacultyu.northwestern.edu/embed?t itle=Last%20BB105%20Calendar&height=600&wkst=1&bgcolor=%23FFFFFF&src=testfac ultyu.northwestern.edu_98d4jutdo13bnpfh4ndmq50...@group.calendar.google.com& color=%232952A3&ctz=America%2FChicago> &height=600&wkst=1&bgcolor=%23FFFFFF&src=testfacultyu.northw [email protected]&color=%2 32952A3&ctz=America%2FChicago" style=" border-width:0 " width="640" height="600" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe> </body> </html> <html> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------- -Patricia _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ray Baxter Sent: Thursday, June 18, 2009 2:22 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: How do I embed a private google-calendar to a private google-site? Here is an example of a embedded calendar, that you can't see, but I can. http://www.warmroom.com/calendar/ On that page are displayed 3 calendars, 2 which are completely hidden to you and one which is public which you can see free/busy information. When I go there, as a logged in Google user, I can see all three. If you could share the code that you posted at sites.google.com, or the url to the page, perhaps someone could help you make this work.

It would be great if somebody could prove me wrong on this statement though :-). I think we need to create a feature request for this. -Patricia > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] On > Behalf Of R.Schwarz > Sent: Thursday, June 18, 2009 9:47 AM > To: Google Calendar Data API > Subject: How do I embed a private google-calendar to a > private google-site? > > > Hi all, > > I try once again to post the question, maybe the topic where > a bit inaccurate, the first time. > > I created a private site at sites.google.com to organize > activities of a project.
