Hi,

It's a great tool, but it doesn't work anymore with the new version of Gmail.

Do you plan to make another version that works with it?

Thanks,
Jack

Hi. I liked this idea so i made another script that integrates calendar. It isnt half as advanced as this and it doesnt even work in the same way but i thought it might be of use to somebody so i put it up here.

Brilliant script - makes managing ur day so easy ... but gmail v2 does'nt allow it... managing by reverting back to the older version of gmail each time..
But Brad- workout a new version please!!

Hmmm now that I got it working, the sidebar shows the time +8 hours from my calendars. My calendars are set at GMT+8 as I stay in Malaysia. 11am becomes 7pm in the sidebar.

 
Chew User

Did some googling and got it. THanks so much

 
Tracy McKibben User

Thanks Tom, that does indeed fix the problem.

 
Chew User

Errm I am not good with the scripts. Could someone amend and then I could just download and install it? Sorry or maybe someone could share how to edit it. Thank you in advanced

Replacing line 393
if(whoNodes[whoI].getElements("gd:attendeeStatus")[0].getAttribute('value').match(/.declined/)
with
if (whoNodes[whoI].getElements("gd:attendeeStatus").length!=0 && whoNodes[whoI].getElements("gd:attendeeStatus")[0].getAttribute('value').match(/.declined/)

fixes the loading problem

(i.e. adding "whoNodes[whoI].getElements("gd:attendeeStatus").length!=0" test to the beginning)

Yes, I have had this issue for 4 days.

It happens on each machine I use.

 
Tracy McKibben User

I've been using this script for several months, love it. Yesterday, it stopped working - the sidebar gets stuck on "Loading <my>". I assume Google changed something. Anybody else having this problem?</my>

 
buono User

I have a strange issue. All was working fine but now I have calendar entries appearing in the sidebar in seemingly random phases. At the moment I have some appointments from the next 3 weeks appearing, but they are not the next 5 in my Google Calendar.

is there a certain type of appointment that does or does not get displayed?

I have some that are displayed for a few days and then neared the event are no longer displayed.

 
gehx User

got my last issue sorted, now is there a way to use this w/o having to make my calendar viewable to the world?

 
gehx User

where is the down arrow beside the calendar name in the left panel???

Hi,
i've solved for my question 2 and suggest to check for this also to other users experiencing the problem:

on Google Bookmark you have to set the label of the link to your calendar to GMgcal, not the name of the link.

 
Cristo User

Hi, two question:

1 - Is the actualy script secure against the cookie stealing problem?

2 - I tried anyway to use it and even though i setted it as described it doesn't show me my calendar but the phrase ""Calendar URL not found. Please run Setup under Tools -> User Script. Commands." Why?

 
Glenn Scriptwright

Hey Brad, I've made some enhancements to this scripts. I cleaned up the caching so it doesn't have to re-render every time gmail is refreshed - my computer is slow :( ; I moved the color checking to the name of the bookmark rather than the name of the calendar ; and I started pulling the bookmark data from the bookmark rss feed ; and a couple of other minor fixes to prevent firebug from spamming me with warnings :-)
I'm wasn't sure of the best way to get it to you (since I couldn't find an email, or private message thing with attachments) so I just posted it as a new script. Review it at your leisure, incorporate the changes - or not :-)
Anyway, here it is: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/12396

Does this work with Gmail for my domain? I love the idea, because sometimes I forget to look at the calendar and it's great to have it right there in Gmail.

 
tommy13v User

I have recurring events and when the it gets to one it only shows that event over and over instead of showing it once and moving on.

 
Sheeko User

I would agree ... allowing for calendar colors without having to change the calendar name would be great. I still use the google calendar site and would not like to see my calendar names along with the color code.

 
Tomas User

Same problem here: "Calendar URL not found. Please run Setup under Tools -> User Script Commands."

 
RVeur23 Scriptwright

I don't undestand... It's not working and I'v tryed several time the configuration steps... it's always displaying "Calendar URL not found. Please run Setup under Tools -> User Script Commands." :(

 
Deb Morrissey Scriptwright

Do you have any idea why my appointments are displaying 4 hours off? (10:00am is showing as 2:00pm, etc.).

And the colors are not working for me properly either - one calendar changed colors (luckily the most important one), but the others refused. Would the fact that they're public calendars make a difference?
