Notes

The package of this plugin is available for download at: http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/icalendar-events-widget.zip

This widget makes (in some topics partially) use of:

• the ics-parser class by Martin Thoma
• the jQuery UI-Datepicker plugin
• the DateJS - Javascript Date Library

Good to know

Normally you will select a "range date-to" greater than the "range date-from". But, if you set the "range date-to" lesser than the "range date-from" (or lesser than the current date, if "range date-from" is empty), then the list of events to show will be given in reverse order (aka descending).

Customization

Please check the iCal_Events.css file for style customization and the templates in the templates folder for styling options.
