That's Ok, your doing fine and are almost there!
There are typically two ways to add an external calendar to your site.
1. You can pull it "into" your site by running the external page inside an
Iframe.
2. You can "link" to the external page from a menu item on your site.
After looking at the demo of the page you provided, it looks like simply
linking to the external calendar page might be best.
To do that, you have to have a custom menu on your site. You would not
need a calendar page in your own site structure (unless you wanted to have
a landing page that told people about the calendar and then link to it).
To add the calendar as a link follow these steps:
1) Go to the page where you want the link to originate
2) Click the navigation bar to select it
3) Press F3 and open the properties panel (if it is not open)
4) Click the "Custom" radio button
5) Click the "Edit" button.
6) Build your navigation that you want to be visible from that page (this
can include internal pages on your site as well as the external page).
Now let's assume that you are leaving your calendar page in the site
structure (so you can put descriptive things there) and want to link to the
external calendar.
In that case, at a minimum you might want a button back to the home page as
well as a link to the calendar.
To do this, here are the steps:
7) After you click edit, you select the HOME page and click "add".
8) Then you click the external link style and enter the needed to access
the calendar installed on your site (this is whatever you have to type in
the browser to get to it).
9) Click Save
10). Double-click in the name column and "rename" it to "Calendar"
11). Click "add"
12). Click "Ok"
The calendar page in your site would now have two buttons - one back to the
home page, the other to your (external) calendar page.
(see attached screen shots)
You could also build the entire navigation (say on the home page and at
that level of the master border) and then of course you'd add other
internal pages as well. This is a little more work (normally NOF automates
the entire menu from you), but it would allow you to eliminate the internal
calendar page if you like.
Does that help?
