Simple question: In AEM 6, how do I add a simple out-of-the-box calendar? I added the "calendar-hbs" component to a page but the 2 tabs (settings and tag field) don't give me any configurable options to create a calendar.
What I'm really trying to do is have this component connect to a google calendar to display events from that calendar. Is that possible in AEM 6 too? If so, how?
You have 2 choices here:
1 - overlay existing ootb calendar component.
2 - create a custom Calendar component using a JQuery plug-in. You can even create a dialog and make it reflect exactly what you need it to do.
There are lots of great JQuery Calendar Plug-ins:

We have a few community articles - based on a carousel component - that shows you how to use a JQuery plug-in to build a custom AEM component:
