Just so you know, this is kind of a textbook example of “how not to get help”.

You got the guy’s name wrong: He’s Mike Reich. It’s in the about page: http://cookingandcoding.wordpress.com/about/
You are asking in the wrong forum: This is the author of GCal4Ruby, not a Google Sites admin.
You are behaving like a paying customer: The way this works is you ask questions and people help you because they are nice. The nicer you are, the more likely someone is to help you. You don’t get to expect anything from them. Them’s the breaks when you aren’t paying. While I don’t speak for Mike, “if you do write back with an answer, please make sure you have tested it first” doesn’t encourage me to give you anything.

Good luck with your unicycle team, and good luck with the calendar embedding.

xml.root.add_element(“gCal:sendEventNotifications”, {“value” => “true”, “xmlns:gCal” => “http://schemas.google.com/gCal/2005″})

but it is ugly hack I know…

thank you for this really nice google api gem!

I have one question. I will create new event in my google calendar and I will add couple of attendees to this event. But only attendees with gmail account will receive invitation email.

How to create new calendar event and also all attendees will receive their invitation? I have read documentation for java client and there is a method SendEventNotificationsProperty (http://code.google.com/intl/cs/apis/gdata/javadoc/com/google/gdata/data/calendar/SendEventNotificationsProperty.html) so I think that api provides this functionality also.

Thank you for your time!

I can retrieve the event using GCal4Ruby, and I see the node with tag using .to_xml, but event.recurrences comes back nil.

Or is it only expected to work when it’s created from the ruby side?

Adding:
entry.attributes["xmlns:app"] = “http://www.w3.org/2007/app”

to def calendars in events.rb fixed my issue. Hope this helps someone else!

I’m a ruby newbie. Yesterday I was playing around with your wonderful gem and it was working great; I could retrieve the calendar list, print calendar titles, etc.

This morning I’m trying to do the same and it’s not working anymore. Hoping you can help, thanks..

The code:
require ‘rubygems’
require ‘gcal4ruby’

service = GCal4Ruby::Service.new
service.authenticate(“XXXXXX”, “XXXXXX”)
p service
calendars = service.calendars
p calendars

The error:
