What made you choose wordpress as opposed to drupal or joomla btw? Excellent case study! washingtonisland.com sure looks (and I bet, functions) a lot better.

What made you choose wordpress as opposed to drupal or joomla btw?

Use the <code>wp_enqueue_script()</code> function to include <code>/js/fullcalendar/fullcalendar.min.js</code>, <code>/js/fullcalendar/gcal.js</code>, and <code>/js/fullcalendar/jquery/ui.core.js</code>. This is the code I use in my calendar.php (WordPress template file):

<div id="full-calendar"></div>
<noscript>
<div class="message">Some message to my users & a link to the calendar if they have JS turned off...</div>
</noscript>

And this is my JavaScript:

<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(function($){
	$('#full-calendar').fullCalendar({
		events: $.fullCalendar.gcalFeed('http://mygooglefeedURL',
			{ className: 'gcal-events' }
		),
		eventClick: function(event) {
			window.open(event.url, 'gcalevent', 'width=700,height=600');
			return false;
		},
		loading: function(bool) {
			if (bool) $('#loading').show();
			else $('#loading').hide();
		},
		abbrevDayHeadings: false
	});
});
</script>

You’ll also need to make sure that you include the jQuery FullCalendar plugin and GCal support. Use the wp_enqueue_script() function to include /js/fullcalendar/fullcalendar.min.js, /js/fullcalendar/gcal.js, and /js/fullcalendar/jquery/ui.core.js.

I'm having a complete failure of imagination here. How do I integrate FullCalendar into Wordpress? I'm just realizing that all the jQuery scripts I've used in WP had already been converted to a WP plugin by some kind, clever person. If it helps here's my skill level: Good with html & CSS but just starting to learn PHP. Hi. I’m having a complete failure of imagination here. How do I integrate FullCalendar into WordPress?

I'm building a website for a nonprofit using WP as the CMS (and a bit of Google apps) for just the reasons you listed, but I've been completely stumped by what to use for a calendar. I began with Google calendar but none of the WP plugins I found had the features the client wanted. I was just tonight looking at how I might embed an AJAX or PHP calendar in the WP site when I found your post. FullCalendar is new to me but it looks just right. So thanks for taking the time to write up this case study. Wow, this post was like a life preserver.
