This script is an updated and enhanced version of Add Calendar Feed - GMail, by cgm.
The changes to this script from the original include:
- A fix to deal with the script failing due to changes on Google's side
- Support for feeds from multiple calendars
- Different colouration for each calendar
- Caching of calendar data, so it is not re-downloaded with every new page that is loaded
- Some code cleanup/reorganisation
- Minor aesthetic changes
- Click the install icon for this user script in FireFox
- First get your Calendar Feed URL from calendar.google.com (XML)
- click the down arrow beside the calendar name in the left panel
- choose calendar settings
- click the XML button next to "Private Address:" at the bottom
- copy the URL in the pop-up
- Add this URL google bookmarks (http://google.com/bookmarks) with a label that does not contain spaces (GMgcal recommended)
- When GMail is locaded/refreshed a new NAV box will appear indicating you neeed to run setup.
- To run setup, click Firefox's tools menu, then choose user script commands->GMail Agenda Setup
- This will prompt you for the bookmark label (the one you selected above) and the events to display
- GMail _should_ refresh with your calendar loaded.
- To add feeds for further calendars, simply repeat steps 2 and 3 for each. Make sure you use the same label as before.
- To change the colour of items from a calendar, rename that calendar (in google calendar) so that it ends with a colour hex code, such as #F2A640 for orange -- the # is necessary
