i am so not surprised that you have the plugin already developed even before i could import my calendar from yahoo to google!!:P

Don’t you think, it would have been awesome, if it could read the calendar file from my filebox, and update itself automatically, whenever I update my calendar file? Just a suggestion.
I am not doubting about its current usability, I know its really good in itself.

I am getting an error:
Position: line 182, char 13
Code 0x800A01A8, Description: Object Required.
Anyone know why?

NICE Plug-in !!!
But one problem is that in the new 1.1.0 version the program automaticly adds “@gmail.com” to the acount e-mail. But because I am using my normal mail (from my domain) to login to my Google Account it is not possible to use your plug-in. Hope you will very soon make a change in the program.

Anurag: Not sure what you mean by reading it from your filebox. Have you configured iCal to publish to it?
Anonymous: There! Fixed in 1.1.1. Thanks for reporting this.

still getting a problem with the new version – all I see is “problem accessing your calendar”. maybe it’s because I have more than one calendar?

Amazingly awesome plugin!!!
Only one problem, the times that show up seem to be consistantly 7 hours behind (I think its showing GMT time, instead of what my google calendar is set to, which is MST).
Still, great job!

Hi,
I installed goocal into desktop, but then when I went to options I got the following error:
An error as occured in the plugin Goocal. Position: line 461, char 3.
Code: 0x800A1391, Description: ‘gddWndCtrlTypeEditPassword’ is undefined.
Not sure what to do…

Here are some suggestions
. If you manage this, then you colorize the events according to the calendar.
- viewing of other calendars added in google calender (besides the default one create by google).E.g. if i add other calendars, they are not viewed
- viewing of tomorrow’s events in a section similar to Yahoo’s Widget’s Day Planner
- a view for a week’s events (agenda style)

Why only use the primary calendar? My primary calendar is used for things like personal events (dinners, partys, etc) while the bulk of my events are placed in seperate class, work, and fraternity calendars. Any chance of providing an option to allow more calendars to be integrated?

Why only grab information from the primary calendar? The bulk of my events are stored in seperate class, work, and fraternity calendars while my personal calendar is reserved for events like dinners and parties. Any chance of allowing multiple calendars?

Thanks, everyone, for your feedback! Keep it coming …
Support for multiple personal calendars as well as shared calendars will be available in a future version.
If you are receiving the ‘gddWndCtrlTypeEditPassword’ is undefined error, you need to upgrade Google Desktop to the latest version.

Hi! Really nice plugin, but unfortunatly I can’t use it since it only displays events from my primary calender. Why not all of them???
Kind regards, TnT

BTW: Instead of using login and stuff, why not just be able to add the XML links to the calendars you want to see? Just an idea…

Copied this from http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=46536 You’ll remove the old calendar (easy) and click the link below and select “open” and the working calendar installs itself.
