Same problem as 1024k, so I wrote this "Gmail - Google Calendar Seamless Integration." So if you have the same problem please try this one. Not quite the same goal but check it out.

Great script! Is there any way to make events disappear when I delete them from google calendar rather than appearing in my NAV bar with a line through them?

oh and just another quick little idea for the next release.

A plus sign that takes you to the quick add form in calendar to the left of the 'Prev 1/3 Next | Reload' text would be awesome.

I see you have mentioned that in the future you will be moving the script the right side (for RTM purposes), and I understand that it is not an easy task, hence why you wait. What I'm wondering if it would just be easier (for in the mean time, til you do feel like moving it to the right) you would know how we can just move it up. maybe above the contact list or something.

As of right now my contact list completely pushes it off the screen, rendering it near useless. Love the script tho. This one is much nicer than the last as well.

I added support for static calendar urls. For right now you have to edit the script manually (see the notes section). I will work on updating/expanding the settings to make that part easier, but I wanted to get this out sooner.

Keep in mind, if you use this method, you will have to edit the script whenever it is updated here. And while using bookmarks means that your stored calendars are accessible across browsers/profiles, local storage is not.

More on the subject of google bookmarks:
I could not find any references confirming that google bookmarks are public. In fact, I could not even find a way to share them. From everything I read and in my testing, you have to be logged in to view your bookmarks.

<quote>Re: Private links
It only uses google bookmarks as an easy place to store the list of calendar urls. You could fairly easily modify the script and hardcode your list of calendar urls. You would want to change the 'refresh' function to call 'load_calendar' for each calendar you want to load rather than 'load_bookmarks'.</quote>

Could you give a little more detail about this?

I think it will help solve my issue: I use Google Apps Gmail/calendar, i.e., @mydomain.com, but my bookmarks are at my Gmail (@gmail.com). So, I think that is why it is not retrieving the feed, right? If so wouldn't hardcoding the feed fix this?

Hey, Glenn, so great to hear that you will indeed work on the script. Take your time, but I'll be lying if I do not say that I'm looking forward to it. :-)

@tonyaross
I guess my response was a little vague. I knew what you meant, I am just referring to it as the rtm feature for convenience.
I did some testing, and it is both easier than I thought (though still more complicated than the entirety of the script as-is, heh) and more useful. So I will get to it, I just can't give you an estimate of when.

I don't use rtm at all, so any sort of real integration with that is not anticipated.

Glenn, I want to make my suggestion a little clearer. Different Jonathan's suggestion, I simply want to have the agenda panel on the right side of the screen. This arrangement makes it "look like" the arrangement made by Remember the Milk, it is not related in anyway to RTM. I simply think that if the agenda panel is on the right, it is more aesthetically pleasing, and save us the trouble to scroll down (if the agenda is not long). If Jon's idea is more difficult because it involves RTM, do you think it is doable to just move the agenda panel to the right?

@Forest Gregg
The 'except on' events are now handled like 'canceled' events - they are still displayed, but with a strikethrough font. If you would rather they not show up at all, let me know.

re:Private Links (or bookmark-less calendars)
This idea is growing on me. It will be in the next 'major' release.

Re: Remember the Milk
This would be a large undertaking and would have to go back to being a hack rather than using the gmail api. While I like the idea, it probably won't happen anytime soon.

Re: Private links
It only uses google bookmarks as an easy place to store the list of calendar urls. You could fairly easily modify the script and hardcode your list of calendar urls. You would want to change the 'refresh' function to call 'load_calendar' for each calendar you want to load rather than 'load_bookmarks'.
I may consider adding direct support for this at some point in the future, but it is a low priority.

I also want it to be on the right, beneath my Remember the Milk panel.

I also have this question:
I have to put a private address for a private calendar in a public bookmarking system?
(Google Bookmarks has no option "private".)

@tonyaross - I like that idea. I will look into it. But I make no promises :-)

@ronr - Nothing strikes me as obvious. If it makes it past 'retrieving calendars' then it is connecting and downloading, it just doesn't find anything to display. If you have firebug installed you can see a bunch of status messages that might reveal something.

This seems like a very useful script, along with the new RTM Firefox add-on and Better Gmail 2 add-on which integrates Reader. Unfortunately, I cannot get it to work! The sidebar object appears, indicates that it is retreiving bookmarks and then calendars, but never connects or displays the feed. I have changed the XML link in the Google Bookmark a couple of times, with no success, and the feeds work when entered directly into Reader. Any thoughts would be appreciated! Thanks.

Like your script very much, tried different versions of the same thing, only yours works.

One question, the script as it is has the agenda panel on the left below all other things on the sidebar, and one has to scroll down to get to it. Is it possible to shorten the mainbody of the emails, and then put the agenda panel on the right, similar to the layout of the gmail addon by "Remember Milk." That will make the use of space much more efficient, and one does not have to scroll down to see the agenda.
