Unfortunately I can't seem to get it to work? Can someone help me to figure out if it's just the XML data points that I need to change. Here is the feed link:- https://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/wellfieldbec%40gmail.com/public/basic Thanks in advance for any help Title Comments Hi I've been looking for sometime to integrate a google calendar into a v1.5 app. I thought one way round it would be to use the calendar XML link for a feed and put that link in an RSS reader screen.

I haven't tried it but that's my guess! You'll notice that the xml contains an <entry> For each calendar event </entry> and a <title> and <content> which should be the 'description' field in the control panel and <link> element as well. Don't include the <> when you put the values in. Just the element name.
