jQuery breaking notifications / other JS, replied by X1011

i used to do that, but editing reminders for imported events is really buggy sometimes, and cannot be done on my Pre at all. it also duplicates events that i already have in my calendar as repeating events. also, the events disappear after they have passed, so i cannot go back and see what i did on any particular day.

I have been quite remiss on updates to this project since I discovered that you can have your Facebook events automatically import into GCal via the iCal feed (on the events page, click "Export events" and add the link that appears to GCal).

my quick fix is: paste the jQuery code into the script, and remove the code that loads jQuery.

button is missing in secret events, replied by vlk

It seems that since there is no "Share" button on the secret event page, "Add to Gcal" button is not visible as well because this entire div is missing or hidden.

Joackim, I'd need the Swedish names of all the months of the year, and the format that Facebook displays dates in. I could probably work out the format from switching the language and testing out events on FB myself. If you take a look at the source code for the script you can see how each language is defined.

Yes, I've been playing around with @require - the jQuery injection is a legacy from the previous version of the script. I don't have something I'd be happy to release yet but if you've got a working code snippet I'd like to see it.

I'd love to see a Swedish version. Tell what you need to make it happen!

How about using @require instead of injecting JQuery into the DOM?

Noted, will fix this in the next version

I will bear this in mind for future updates

The script works great except it isn't picking up the event address completely.

For this event it picked up the following:

Trinity Hall Irish Pub Dallas, TX 75206, Dallas, TX for the location

Could you add support for Google Apps? The URL changes from https://www.google.com/calendar/event to https://www.google.com/calendar/hosted/DOMAIN/e.... I've been changing the URL manually.

Current known bug is that this script will break much of the Javascript on the events page. I'm looking into this but if anyone has a quick fix, don't keep it to yourself!

Okay, now it works in all three locales (en_US, en_GB and fi_FI) with both single and multi-day events. It should now be quite easy to support any 12-hour clock locale. There are still few problems, which of the biggest is the usage of jQuery. It breaks some Facebook ajax things (ie. event commenting and language changing). Also some encoding problems when transferring the info to GCal, special characters are not appearing correctly in the event info.

I "had" to do complete rewrite to the time and date parsing. I'm currently working on the multi-day events, but after that it should support both 12 and 24 hour clock. If you're interested in merge my changes to your script contact me by email (sopuli(at)gmx.net). :)

Hi sopuli, sounds good. Can you link to the code you've been working on? Pastebin or whatever? I'll merge it with the current one if it's straightforward.

I've been developing this to support en_US, but because of 12-hour clock, it'll need handling for that and a few additional locale properties. I already got it working for single day events but with multiday events the time will be incorrect in case of pm.

I can see that it's because the date format is slightly different to what I have. Mine would look like: "17 January 2008 at 10:00".

What is the primary language you have set in your Facebook account settings? AFAIK there isn't anywhere else that a date format would be defined.

It doesn't work for me in Australia.

I have the following event information format:

Time and PlaceDate:
Saturday, January 17, 2009
Time:
10:00am - 7:00pm
Location:
Lecture Theatre H1.25, Building H, Monash Caulfield campus
Street:

City/Town:
Melbourne, Australia

OK, just uploading a new version now which will have the structure (but not yet the ability) to do multi-language. Just needs the definitions (in the "languages" array at the top of the code).

Go ahead! Although I think there are actually a couple of ways of managing international support fairly easily as the field "labels" and regexps for scraping the event data are declared in a fairly lucid way and the user-picked language on Facebook is used as a class name for the <body> element. I will look into this...</body>
