This is marvellous however like others I cannot get it to display anything. Might it be to do with not being logged into Google? Captchas? Using Google alone I get the list but not within MM. Be marvellous if it could be fixed.

Sorry for the lack of response on this. I’ve been away for a bit.

It’s currently not working because Google has changed both it’s event page layout and the URL. I haven’t investigated much, but it looks like they’ve added a bunch of stuff to the URL and no longer provide the page that this module was scraping.

It used to be:
https://www.google.com/search?q=events+[LOCATION]&events&rciv=evn
This now brings up a different page than what this module was scraping.

The google provider for this module will have to be rewritten to scrape this page.
https://www.google.com/search?q=events+fond+du+lac+wi&oq=events+fond+du+lac+wi&sclient=gws-wiz-serp&ibp=htl;events&rciv=evn#htivrt=events&fpstate=tldetail

I’m sorry again, but I’m not sure when I’ll be able to get to this.
