Create the Google Calendar component

To create this component, you will either need administrative access to the Google Calendar you wish to integrate, or be connected with someone who has this access and can provide you with the Google Calendar ID. Our team does not have access to state agency Google accounts, but if you connect us with the person in charge of the calendar you wish to integrate, we can help guide the account owner to where they can find this information for you.

   8. Link to a full calendar view: (optional) if you have created a mini-calendar for a right-column or other small viewing area, you will need to link back to the full calendar component here. Navigate to where the full calendar component resides and select it.
      
3. Save and Close the component.

(Optional) Create other components for the page

Google Calendar integrations can be used in a couple different page layouts, such as Flex Layout pages or pages with right columns. If you build anything other than a basic full calendar webpage, you'll need to create other content for the page, such as Flex Row Configurations, Flex Spotlights, Article Spotlights, etc. Go ahead and create those components at this time.

Create the Page

1. In the 050 section, navigate to (or create) the structure group where the page will reside.
2. Create a new page.
3. Fill in the Name, File Name, Page Display Name, Dublin Core Title, and Dublin Core Description fields.
4. For the Page Template field, select one of the following page templates:
   • If you plan to create a full page calendar: you can use either the Internal General Content, Flex Layout - Internal Page, or Flex Layout - Main Landing Page
   • If you plan to create a right column calendar: select Internal General Content with Right Column
5. Click the Design tab.
6. Click the Add button:
   1. Navigate to the General Content component you created in step 1, select it, apply the Page Introduction or General Content component templates, and insert it into the page.
   2. If creating a calendar in a right column: insert any other body components you created.
   3. Navigate to the Google Calendar component you created in step 2, select it, apply the appropriate component template for a full or right column calendar, and insert it into the page.
   4. Navigate to any other components you created (such as for Flex Layout pages), apply the appropriate component templates, and reorder them as necessary.
7. Close the Insert Component Presentation pop-up window.
8. Save and Close your page.

Publish the Page

When you've completed all the steps above, then all you need to do next is publish your page. 

In the 050 section, navigate to the page you built in step 3, right-click and select Publishing > Publish.

Select the site you wish to publish to and click Publish. This will send the page to the publishing queue.

Verify the page looks like you want it to, and edit/republish as needed.
