I’m really frustrated with Google calendars and I thought you might be able to help based on what I’ve read. I am setting up a website using Google Apps and Google Sites (formerly JotSpot).

As part of the process, I set up a few basic pages, including a “Schedule” page. All I want that page to do is show a Google Calendar (which is from the same domain as I have associated with Google Apps). That is easy.

But, I want the calendar to display July 2010 — rather than starting at today’s date. I’ve read, researched, Forumed, and FAQed myself silly. What I discovered is an option called “dates” that should be inserted somewhere in the code is:
dates=”20100711%2F20100718″ It is unclear if there need to “s or not.

I have tried using the “Insert -> Calendar” command in Sites and then modifying the HTML, which is an tag, not an tag. No matter what I do, Sites just strips out the code and ignores my modifications with no error message.

I have tried embedding calendar gadgets and “embedding” gadgets. Nothing works. This would seem to be such a common and obvious problem that I would think it would be one of the properties you can set when embedding a calendar–but alas it is not.

One thing, if you do write back with an answer, please make sure you have tested it first

But what can we do to remedy this for GCal4Ruby????

It must have something to do with private/public but I cant figure out what. The missing appointment have a “standard” visibility when opened in Google calendar, when I set this visibility to private and then BACK to standard they suddenly appear in the find-query again.

Any ideas?

I want to have clientlogin authentication. From the link http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/articles/gdata_on_rails.html#ClientLogin

Now where I have to place above code in doclist application

can u help me

thank u

+1 for Part 2!!!

now = Time.now

Basically i have a function that accepts an int, I take now, and advance the date by that many days (using the active support extensions…), then work out the start and end of that day (start and finish), the use these in the range argument to the search…..

From the docs for GCal4Ruby, it says I can just pass a Time object, which start and finish are….

I hope that makes sense!

I’m just playing with this, and trying to check if an event exists on a specific day (this is going to be for a very basic reminder system).

I’m doing the following, and getting an error….

days = 10
date = now.advance(:days => days)
start = date.beginning_of_day.
finish = date.end_of_day
games = GCal4Ruby::Event.find(service.calendars[0], “DnD”, {:range => {:start => start, :end => finish} })

games.each do |game| puts “#{game.title}:#{game.start}” end

/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/gcal4ruby-0.2.5/lib/gcal4ruby/base.rb:202:in `send_get’: Invalid value for start-min parameter: 2009-10-01T00:00:00 01:00 (GCal4Ruby::HTTPGetFailed)
from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/gcal4ruby-0.2.5/lib/gcal4ruby/event.rb:425:in `find’

Any thoughts?
