The extension allows you to manage and schedule the content with your
google calendar. It is not about scheduling the layout, neither
scheduling the structure of the home page, but more simply about
scheduling the contents that are placed in the placeholders defined
in the home page. These placeholders called "zones" use a template
fetch function that is accessing your google calendar to figure out
what content supposed to be published at the very moment.
In your Google Calendar you create appointment with the node_id in the
title field. If the template function finds an appointment in your
google calendar and can read a node_id it will show this node_id in
your predefined "zones". In a configuration file you can specify
fallback node_ids in case there is no appointment for the actual
time.
This extension is a prove-of-concept - it is not supposed to run in a
productive environment in its current form.
The extension contains an example "pagelayout.tpl" file that shows how
to define a zone in your page layout. You may want to enable the
caching once it is successfully running in your environment.
