Did Google change the bookmarks page? My calendar feed suddenly stopped working yesterday, on all three computers that I use daily. I've been running the script for weeks without issue. I tried uninstalling it and starting over, no change.

Hey Guys,

Here is a (fairly trivial) patch to enable grabbing events from multiple calendars. They'll all be displayed together, chronologically, in the Agenda box (ideally they would be colour coded by calendar, but I haven't done that here). You just need to make another bookmark in google bookmarks for each calendar feed, and tag them all with the same label as you use for the first.

I agree with durex about the bugs

cgm,
thanks for this great script. there is bug i found. if there is an event which is "whole day" one, then the script shows the date wrong in gmail. it will show the next date in gmail

Also a big fan of the script, but I have the same problem as others have mentioned:

Agenda items are often not in chronological order, with recurring items displaying ahead of items that are coming up sooner (e.g. my recurring Friday raquetball game shows up before my Wednesday meeting, although the latter occurs first).

LOVE this script! Forget to check my GCal as often as I should, but I check my Gmail multiple times daily.

Anyway.. 2 issues Im having with the script:
1. All 'All Day' appts show up as occurring a day later than it actually does on Gcal. Normal 'timed duration' events show up as they should.

2. I use Google Desktop and have GMail notifications turned on. When you click the notification it opens up a browser window only showing that email (not the whole gmail interface). This module shows up over the email, but all out of whack. Example can be seen here:

Keep up the great work!!

@ Andrew Burgess, and anyone else having a problem with timezone offsets:

I fixed mine by commenting out line 604 where it calls parsed['gmtOffset'] = date.getTimezoneOffset();. I'm assuming that the problem is caused if you have the timezone set on your google calendar, and then this call tries to grab the offset again so it screws everything up.

 
Andrew Burgess User

the dialog to input time offset doesn't come up and I vcan't figure out how to fix it... I'm GMT-8 but all my appts. come up as -8 from that ie if I have somthing scheduled for 6:00pm on the 16th of Jan. it will show under the correct date but the time will be listed as 10:00 AM

any ideas?

Having problem and can't get it...ideas?

Calendar URL not found. Please run Setup under Tools -> User Script Commands.

i really like this script but am wondering the same thing about being able to put more than 1 calendar at a time.

i read one of the comments saying there was a temporary hack of some kind but i don't know where to find those scripts that was being referred to. just curious because having more than 1 calendar would be really cool.

 
Julien User

i like it very much but it only works with one calendar. can you explain to me how to do two? or if this option doesn't exist, could you add it to the script when you have time?

 
BrianG User

I'd like to 2nd oki's request for the ability to add multiple calendars to the view, great script btw.

Like the
http://www.techlifeweb.com/2006/04/add-your-age...
but with some screenshots so you relly can do this, and, is there a way to undo/redo if you have set it wrong when you have run the setup???

 
Alexis User

Hello, thanks much for the script, it's great! Unfortunately all my events display as 8 hours earlier than they should. I am in the US/Pacific time zone (GMT -8). Help? ;)

 
Andrew Preston User

I butchered the HTML.

One thing that I burned a lot of time on, and I hope I'm not the only idiot that did this, but you need to add a *Label* in your Google bookmarks. It's not the name of the bookmark, it's the label you give it.

I also found this page which was helpful.

Is there any way to get this running in Seamonkey? (Seamonkey does not seem to have the menus to accomplish this step:

"5) In Gmail, drop down the Firefox "Tools" menu and click "User Script Commands", then "GMail Agenda Setup", then specify the label name you used in step 3."

Thanx

Isaaac

Nevermind, the event got marked private (default) somehow

 
mar 1 Scriptwright

it doesn't display events within says 12 hours of now (I haven't figured out the exact amount) . That is, the things most immanent do not appear on the calendar (they disappear when they come closer in time). otherwise, it works great.

I would really appreciate being able to use all my calendars. Other, similar, programs pull all the calendar feeds with the same label in Bookmarks.

Is that possible with this script?

 
Brian Schroer User

I had trouble with the bookmark step (I didn't even know there was such a thing as Google bookmarks). Maybe these clarifications of the installation steps will help others:

2) Get calendar feed URL: In Google Calendar, click the dropdown arrow next your calendar name on the left side of the screen, then click "Share this calendar". Select the "Calendar Details" tab, then click the "XML" button in the "Calendar Address" section.

3) Add to Google Bookmarks: Go to http://www.google.com/bookmarks and click "Add bookmark". Paste the XML URL determined in step 2 into the "Location (URL)" field. and assign a Label name that doesn't contain spaces. (It's the *Label* name, not the bookmark name that's used in step 5).

5) In Gmail, drop down the Firefox "Tools" menu and click "User Script Commands", then "GMail Agenda Setup", then specify the label name you used in step 3.

I think its awesome.
Set up is not difficult, IF YOU FOLLOW THE WELL WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS.

cgm, Can it be possible to add multiple calendars to the same bookmark label and then have them all pop up in Gmail Calendar display?
