There are a number of ways to add a calendar into your site but our current recommendation is to use Google's free Google Calendar. This allows you to create a calendar in a very similar way to iCal, but on the web. The calendar you create can then be embedded into your webpage with completely customizable appearance settings. And, whenever you add a new event to the calendar, it automatically gets updated on your webpage.
To add a calendar to your site:
Open up Google Calendar and sign in
On the left you will see a list of your calendars
Click the down arrow to the right of the calendar you want to share and choose Calendar settings
Click the Customize the color, size, and other options link in the Embed This Calendar section and change the appearance of the calendar
When you're happy with the way the calendar looks, click the Update HTML button and copy the code from the text area at the top of the page
In Freeway open the page you want the calendar to be on
Select Markup Item from the Insert menu, paste the code into the dialog that appears and click Ok
Position the markup item you just created wherever you like on your page
Preview the page in a browser or Freeway to see the results
Another option to include a calendar in your site is to use a dedicated programs such as:
Yenco Agenda 4 - This excellent program works extremely well with Freeway, just create your calendar and upload it using a dedicated FTP application then link to it from within Freeway. The application even comes with a Freeway template for making your calendar look like your Freeway site! Go to yenco.com for more information.
PHP iCalendar - This open source program displays iCal calendars in a browser. More information and details of how to create the calendars can be found at PHPiCalendar.net.
Finally, if you just want a calendar that allows people to choose dates to be sent in a form, take a look at the CalendarView Action on ActionsForge.
