Overview

This article shares the process of integrating Google Calendars with School Loop. After this integration, you can import and display events from your Google Calendars on School Loop sites using the calendar module. This feature is only available for users with webmaster rights. 

Process

Follow these steps to integrate:

1. Log into your SL account with the webmaster rights. 
2. Navigate to the Toolbox > Site Center. If you do not see this option under the Toolbox, it is likely that you do not have the necessary rights. 
3. Click the Tools tab.
4. Click the Integrate button for the option 'Integrate with Google Calendar'.
   
   
   
   
5. Follow the on-screen instructions for Google's connection process. Once connected, a list of available calendars will be displayed.
   
   Note: Users can only integrate calendars they have full rights to. These calendars are listed under 'My calendar', whereas the 'Other calendars' are generally owned by other users that you have the viewing rights for.
   
   
   
   
6. Check the box for each Google Calendar that you wish to include.
7. Click the Submit button.
