# Create event sources {#quick-event-sources}

A calendar can use any number of event sources at the same time. The records of
the feeds are stored on a page (e.g. a folder **General storage**), the
events of EXT:calendarize are selected by their storage pages.

## iCal feed {#quick-ical-feed}

Create a record **iCal Feed** in a folder and fill in the fields.

-   **Title**

    Name of the feed.

-   **Feed Url**

    URL of the `.ics` file. A path relative to the web root (e.g.
    `/fileadmin/calendars/holidays.ics`) works as well as a complete URL.

-   **Color**

    Background color of the events of this feed. If empty, the color of the first
    category of the feed is used.

-   **CSS classes**

    Additional CSS classes, added to every event of the feed.

-   **Categories**

    Categories of the feed. They are added to the events as CSS classes and are
    used by the [filter](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/mediaessenz/fullcalendar:filter@5.0).

The tab **Access** allows to show a feed only to some frontend user groups.

## Google calendar feed {#quick-google-feed}

Create a record **Google Calendar Feed**.

![The Google calendar feed record with title, API key, calendar ID and color](../Images/GoogleCalendarFeedRecord.png)

-   **Google calendar api key**

    An API key of the Google Developer Console with the *Google Calendar API*
    enabled, see [Google calendar: API key and public calendar](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/mediaessenz/fullcalendar:google-api-key@5.0).

-   **Google calendar id**

    The ID of the calendar, found in the settings of the calendar in the Google
    Calendar web interface (section *Integrate calendar*).

The fields title, color, CSS classes, categories and access are the same as for the iCal feed.

## EXT:calendarize {#quick-calendarize}

If EXT:calendarize is installed, the storage pages of its events are selected
inside of the plugin (tab [Event sources](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/mediaessenz/fullcalendar:plugin-sheet-eventsources@5.0)). No
feed record is needed. The categories of the calendarize events (system
categories) work as categories of the calendar.
