Kris - thanks for the feedback. A lot of the core logic of date handling needs some tweaking. I just put some final touches on a Homepage Module http://googlemodules.com/module/570/

feel free to change the colors:
Look For const gcalRule = new Array( and all the colors are defined there. Just got through with the GMODULE code for this - http://www.r2unit.com/gmodule/ It is a lot more robust that this GM script - which I now have to overhaul ;) |

Mysteriously Nameless User - it started out storing the link - but on shared machines, that became an issue - the label way keeps everything isolated and requires google auth cookies to work.
ThomasLeeIV - for now military time format is the format - when things stabalize that will be on the TODO list |

Robert - somebody's been eating my porage!!! you grabbed my devel one - and Google has been changing the XML spec. I wouldn;t be surprised if the GM agenda stops working for some with recurring events and other. I will continue to work on both - but it will be hit or miss till the XML matures and they release a SPEC
Latest Module http://www.r2unit.com/gmodule/gcal.xml |

if anyone wants to help me testdrive something - I am working on a google module for this: http://r2unit.com/gmodule/gcalT.xml it currently does not handle recurring monthly events - but should handle most of the other variations. I am not sure how it handles large data feeds (ie Holiday Calendars) I can't promise any reliability on this right now...but working towards it. |

If you want multiple calendars - there is a small hack (for now) which can get it working for you. If you grab the script from my server and change the tag argument, it will allow multiple instances of the same GMscript http://r2unit.com/greasemonkey/gcal.user.js?tag... in this case, bday is the tag. You can then set up bookmarks for each. Yes its a work around, but those that are using it say that it works good. PLus this way, you can turn on/off caelndars by disabling the GM script..let me know |

:Jason + Dave:
as for the timezone - the -5 is what I get when I compare the feed time to the real time and also use JS to get a difference. I would think since their feed doesnt take DST into account, one will need to change the setting (??) .. as for the M < N -- that is how is should work, as you described maxEvent = event.length; if (maxEvent > gcalDisplay) maxEvent = gcalDisplay; ::: I only change the event# to display if you pass the limit , otherwise it shows them all. Do you have a feed you could send me? Email below. |

:ThomasLeeIV: I thought my instructions were clear ;) /... I changed the format of the dates - I think it should be working. |

strange - all I added was some handling of weekly events - do yo have a feed that you can post the URL which has this behaviour? |
|
Comment on: |
It has a pseudo weekly display now (its just a summary, not an actual event display). As for the module - that was on my plate to play around with. |

Comment on: |
heh - I was gonna play with something like this. Is there a reason it is in chinese? |
|
Comment on: |
labelname for the bookmark of the feed url?? I can understand that and why - otherwise can you explain which labelname you are referring to? |

Comment on: |
yearly and monthly recurring are working - there seems to be a bug(??) with the feed itself. Changing an event from yearly to monthly left both sets of data for the recurring parameters - hence putting lots of unintended data into the output. -- I am not 100% the weekly and yearly stuff is working as expected on my side (especially snce the strange data issues on the feed) |

Comment on: |
known issue now! ;) -- Latest version handles the hang - does not handle getting the dates for the recurring events (yet) |

in fire fox - there should be a TOOLS->USER SCRIPT COMMAND -> GMAIL GCAL SETUP it will then prompt you for your info |

<facted>: New script has a display count option under the setup menu. As for the multiple calendars - it is possible, I am concerned as to the time it takes to pull some big XML and parse it (try the US Holiday feed). If there is more feedback for such a feature - my arm could be twisted :)</facted> |

Since the Calendar Feed is not ordered by date and it returns EVERY event not just upcoming - I handle it in the script. This does add overhead. On a decent machine, I am able to pull the US HOLIDAY list, parse it, index it, and display the first 20 (the display default in the script) in about 7-8 seconds. This list is large and a decent test. -- Enjoy |

the feed seems to have som (maybe intended) design snafu's with the order: |
