Sheetsee Calendar
A fork-n-go Sheetsee.js calendar project! Made by me and @muan, we finally worked on something together! 🎉
Sheetsee.js Calendar
Sheetsee.js is a library that makes it easy to visualze data from a Google Spreadsheet. This repository expands on that by building a calendar based on events in a spreadsheet.
Fork-n-go
This repository contains webfiles on a branch named gh-pages, which means GitHub hosts them for free at: jlord.github.io/sheetsee-calendar. When you fork the project to your account, you too can have a hosted site -- easy peasy!
Set Up
Here's how to get going with your version:
1. Create spreadsheet
Create a new spreadsheet for your data on Google Docs. It should contain these headers (case and order of columns do not mattter, spelling does):
Start Date | End Date | Name | Location | Tickets | Contact
Dates
Your dates should be in the mm/dd/yyyy format. If your day is multiple days, use both the Start and End Date columns, if it's just one day, leave End Date blank.
2. Publish spreadsheet
In order to fetch your spreadsheet's data you'll need to click File > Publish to the Web > Start Publishing. This just means when asked for the data in the spreadsheet, Google returns it.
3. Fork this repository
From this page, click the "Fork" button at the top right. Bam!
4. Add your spreadsheet key
- From your fork's page on GitHub, click to view the
index.htmlfile. - When it opens, click "Edit"
You'll see code near the bottom that looks like this:
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
var URL = "0AuOjlXjUrSbAdE1XRFJkeEJZQ1NSelhILUR0NXdBWUE"
Tabletop.init( { key: URL, callback: generateCalendar, simpleSheet: true } )
})The variable URL is your spreadsheet's key, which is the long set of letters and numbers in the middle of your spreadsheet's url.
- Copy and paste your spreadsheet's key in place of the existing one.
- Click "Commit changes" at the bottom of the page.
Ta Da!
In a few minutes you'll be able to visit your site at: yourgithubname.github.io/sheetsee-calendar.
Pro-tip You can click "Settings" on your fork's page and rename it to a more appropriate-to-you name than sheetsee-calendar :)
Styling
Included in this repository is a stylesheet for the calendar. You can keep the style as is or make it your own! Classes are like so:
Map

If you want to include a map, you can do so! There is a map version on the with-map branch. Read map-doc.md for instructions. |
