updated gmail calendar

some changes made to the original <a href="http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/8921">Gmail Google Calendar sidebar</a> by <a href="http://userscripts.org/users/23631">Brad Stewart</a>.

Some enhancements to the original.

  • cleaned up the caching so it doesn't have to re-render every time gmail is refreshed
  • moved the color checking to the name of the bookmark rather than the name of the calendar
  • bookmark data is pulled from the bookmark rss feed
  • added tooltips/titles to event titles and locations - hover over them to see the full text
  • other minor fixes to prevent js errors/warnings in firebug

For setup instructions please visit Gmail Google Calendar sidebar.

updated 10/31/2007

  • fixed problem with calendars not loading
  • updated meta tags to reflect the 'updated gmail calendar' name - this prevents overwriting "Gmail Google Calendar sidebar" but may result in two calendar sidebars - just disable the one you don't need.

This script has been deprecated. I have rewritten it, making use of the gmail api and (hopefully) making it more maintainable. The new script is called Gmail Calendar Nav Module and can be found here. Enjoy!

I think Gmail upgraded again, if you see top right there is a link that says "Older Version" to switch back to older version and it works.

For mine, the timezone still not correct yet.

Hi Glenn,

The script stopped working altogether for me, today, November 2nd. Yesterday, I noticed that the times and dates were incorrect.

Hi Glenn,
I dont know how to thank you. I was figuring out also and at the same time I was also subscribing to daily agenda email notifier via google.

That day a daily agenda on 31st Oct came in with all the time +12 hours of what I have placed in Google Calendar. What I have set to have 3pm Presentation became 3am the next day in my Daily Agenda email.

My bet is that Google may be doing some changes to those timezones but I cant be sure.

I noticed your comment on the 'sidebar' script regarding timezones. I am not sure what changed to make it stop working, but I am looking into it. I should have something soon - probably by the end of this weekend.

Hi thanks for the update, really needed that. I am in KL so my timezone is GMT +8. I have all the agenda in the sidebar +8 hours to all the ones I set. Meaning I set something to be 3pm and it becomes 11pm in my sidebar.

Nice work Glenn, this script worked perfectly for me rather than the prior two I'd tried.

In the above text you should provide links to the prior "Gmail Google Calendar Sidebar" script page so that people can understand how to setup the rss feed into GMgcal etc.

Cheers, jono
