For a single event, yes. It's easy to program, the user gets a chance to check everything, perhaps enter a additional note or an extended title, and google would have handled all the access rights. > Is there anyway that multiple entries can be inserted at once?

But in order to write to your users calendar, YOU need to have write access to your users calendar. If your gagdet is running inside the iGoogle-Container (not the syndication container) the oauth-proxy allows your gadget to do stuff with the users rights. Googling for "oauth proxy" should lead you to a few examples on how to access your users calendar from your gadget. It mainly consists of guiding your user through the process of giving your gadget access to his calendar data. Then you can use the gdata api to make calls to google calendar to du stuff like the user would be able to. (entering an event becomes sending an http-request with an attached xml-structure to the calendar through the oauth proxy) I could show you my sample gadgets that use oauth for read and write access to the guest lists of events or that diaplays contact information from the users adressbook. (tahst based on the official oauth-proxa example) but as these were my first steps into that field, they are poorly documented. > Would it be best to store these in an array and import them one by one > or is there another more efficient and effective way to do it? Not sure, but IIRC, you can send a batch of events in one request. > Also, if there is a clash (i.e. a entry overlapping) will Google > Calendar be able to provide such a check? No. You could do it yourself, querying free/busy information first (you already asked for write access, so you have read access included) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "iGoogle Developer Forum" group.
