Regarding importing a calendar subscription into google calendar, it seems that private category events won’t show up: > [@Events Plugin calendar](https://meta.discourse.org/t/events-plugin/69776/139): > > Thanks for the report. Should work regardless of any data irregularities now. [https://github.com/angusmcleod/discourse-events/commit/cfa044c9344b43b1b303939a8ababd7a55753180](https://github.com/angusmcleod/discourse-events/commit/cfa044c9344b43b1b303939a8ababd7a55753180)@tobiaseigen Thanks for the feedback. Yeah this one is TBD as I think it’s a relatively marginal use case. This is not literally possible yet (you could achieve a version of this through category-level permissions), but the more I think about it, the more I like it. I’ll take a crack at it soon. Yes, this has been on… I’d like to implement this feature at some point and I see any restricted category displays a link to generate iCal API keys. I’ll probably be investigating this and I wouldn’t be too worried about adding this to our own site but it horrifies me to think that if I come up with anything useful I might issue a PR to the main branch. I’m sure if it gets to that point plenty of knowledgeable people will have reviewed it. Has anyone seen an existing solution to integrating iCal API from discourse events with google calendar directly? I’ve also seen posts about google calendar onebox but some people say it doesn’t work for them and in addition, that means login with google is required to use the calendar. > [@Can Google Calendar be One-Boxed?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/can-google-calendar-be-one-boxed/57043): > > I’ve read the Google-Calendar plugin post, but it is now not working anymore. I’ve seen the Google Maps One-Box, it works perfectly now. I really wander if Google Calendar can work with One-Box ?? I don’t want to make this thread all about calendars but I wanted to clarify as much as I know in case anyone comes across this topic. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/custom-discourse-instance-for-a-writers-club/180297)._
