I just installed it and used it and it was pretty good. It was hard to find the newly added link, but I've never paid much attention to the "guest options" anyway (I had to search for "google" in the page to find your link). It'd be nice to either put the link next to the date, or at least in the description of this script, note where the link is added.

Otherwise, great script, and thanks for solving that pesky little problem.

Does this work for all Evites? I am using Firefox 3, with a Mac OS X computer. I see the Gcal link on one evite, and not another.

The script references looking for an Outlook html link, but not the iCal link. Should this be an either/or branch in the code, to account for Mac users?

Thanks!

i just installed, and get this when tried to add to my google calendar

I dont want to post the URL it tired to use because i dont want to have it public, so if your interested in seeing the problem, ask me and i can send it to you.

Great script Ryan, thanks!

Two things:
1) Date is in DD/MO/YEAR rather than MO/DD/YEAR (I'm in the US) - I recognize this may be a localization difference, but shouldn't Evite itself know whether the user is using one format or the other?

2) Time is on 24/hour clock rather than 12 hour. Again, couldn't this be pulled from Evite?

Thanks for the script!

Details += escape('
'+ top.location);

Ryan,

Great idea for a script; very glad I found it.

I was wondering if you were planning on upgrading it to handle the newer Evite invitations (the ones that open like a card). I'm not sure if you've seen them, but a couple friends started using them within the past couple months. They break your script since they're a totally different layout... even requiring another click to open the "card" and view the details.

Also, I'm seeing a couple issues with the current script on the standard Evites. First, I'm getting the event created 12 hours early (8AM instead of 8PM; in Evite the "PM" is in caps for me... haven't looked at your RegEx yet to check how you're doing it). Secondly, (as you noted in a post) I'm also getting the details field as "<phone:>" I'll look into these myself when I get some time as well.

And one other suggestion: Any way you can include a version number in the source? That way it's easier for someone noticing bugs to ensure they're on the most current version (rather than resorting to a diff). Thanks!</phone:>

Just used it for the first time. The time was wrong, 4pm instead of 6pm, how's that even possible? ;) The phone field wasn't correctly added to the description, all it added was "Phone: ". The invite had two phone numbers listed.

But great idea, hope you can iron out the bugs. Let me know if you need help with testing.

nice try. mostly worked.

i think it only pulled the first word of the event
date was right
time was 2 hours off
address was right
phone number didn't carry over
