title: Secure shared Google Calendar
body: <p>I am working on a small scale website. It has a very simple idea, there are two sets of users, office and workers, both have to login to acess the site <em>(the site is built with the Zend framework)</em>.</p>
  
  <p>The problem: I want to have a calendar which is accessible by all the users. The office staff being able to edit the calendar and the workers only being able to view the calendar.</p>
  
  <p>I really want to user google as the backend for the calendar due to its flexibility: A couple of the office workers work on the road <em>(all have android phones)</em> so the calendar can be shared with those users and they can use their mobile devices to update the calendar.</p>
  
  <p>The problem I've got is sharing the calendar with the workers. I wanted to embed the viewable calendar inside a secured page - but obviously the user would have to be logged in as a google user to view the calendar (it couldn't be public). I had hoped I could use the Zend_Gdata_Calendar but there doesn't appear to be an easy way to get the calendar view. Is there any way to do this?
  Would it be possible to get the website to auth with google and get an embeded calendar?</p>
  
  <p>The other side is I want office users to be able to add to the calendar - which is easy enough through the Zend_Gdata_Calendar - maybe not as neat as I had hoped for.</p>
  
  <p>The other option I was thinking was using Zend_Gdata_Calendar and a <a href="http://www.web-delicious.com/jquery-plugins/" rel="nofollow">jQuery Calendar</a> possibly, then allowing different users to do the different tasks.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any good tutorials out there that could help in this situation?</p>
