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.

Just the kind of thing I love to read!! Wanted to let you know that HeadSpace2 by John Godley does a few of the things you've got other plugins for, aside from all its SEO goodness. It would replace in the list above Page Menu Editor and Ultimate Google Analytics. It also does loads of other nifty things. Since you've got a few other of John's plugins there, I thought you might like to stick with him some more :) I do!
