Re: [Orgmode] Re: Adding entries to Google calendar
Hi Eric S Fraga ucec...@ucl.ac.uk writes: I haven't found a way to push an ics file to google; however, you can tell google calendar to add a calendar that is based on a specific url pointing to an ics file and google will periodically load that file and update the calendar. Yes, that works. I've tested this with my mydisk.se account last week for one or two days. The problem with this is that, although it works just fine, the url must be generally accessible (no authentication support). Of course, you can obfuscate the path to the file so that it won't be found easily but this is only security by hiding... It's also not clear how often or when google checks that file although it appears, from my limited testing, to be at least once a day but not much more often than that. That's right. You can't update the imported files manually. You always have to wait for a day before the changes in your ics file become visible in Google. That's why I abandoned this method.

I'm now trying to make it work, but it's not of release quality yet. -- Rémi Vanicat ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

[Orgmode] Re: Adding entries to Google calendar
hi Matt, Carsten accepted a patch of mine a while ago that allows you to do stuff like the following from the agenda: i d RET 09:00-09:30 meeting with Joe and the time is extracted from the text you enter, if you set: (setq org-agenda-insert-diary-extract-time t) this is super, stephen thank you. Great. I should make the docstring for that variable a bit more informative, if it has n1 user! for a real two-way sync to work with this method, I think we need access to uid's of google calendar events. If I read the documentation properly, the underlying gdata-python library doesn't support uid queries. So I filed an enhancement bug: http://code.google.com/p/gdata-python-client/issues/detail?id=444q=uid maybe someone with a better coding sense can improve it; in any case, we can all follow its progress at that url. That's a good idea. I was keen to see if I could upload my 'org.ics' file generated by org mode using 'C-c C-e c' to google. So effectively I just use google to be a read-only version of my agenda. That doesn't seem to be possible either from what I read, but I thought I saw it was on a list of future projects.
