Hello,
thank you, for the great screenlet, but I have a problem, with the events. Only every second event is displayed. For example, I have the following events:
8:00-9:30 Test1
9:45-11:15 Test2
11:35-13:05 Test3
13:25-15:05 Test4

Your screenlet displayed only the Test1 and Test3 event, do you have an idea?

Here is the command line output:

Edit:
It is not everytime the second item, I restarted the app and for example the Test1 and Test2 events are displayed and the other not.

Hi,
the command line output looks completely normal. I've added some test appointments like yours to my calender and they appeared all after a refresh in the screenlet. Sorry, but I have no idea, what could have gone wrong...

panzaeron

Hmm, could this something to do with the kind of dates, all events are one date of a series of dates?
(sorry, in german: Es sind alles wiederholende Terminen)
With the commandline tool gcalcli (http://code.google.com/p/gcalcli/) works everything like it should.

CrazyScientist

Recurring events should be no problem. In my calendar I have several of those, too. The screenlet is designed to parse the feed of all calendars and display every event from this feed.
As like the bug with the server error (see above) I have no idea where the error could be. Have you checked on the google calendar webpage, too?

If you are familiar with Python you could insert some debug messages by your own. In the function "calendar_query". Looking at the variable "apps" in this function might be helpful.

I will take a closer look to the problem within the next days, too.

Thanks for your answer...

I checked the google calendar webpage and the xml-files are ok too (gcalcli works).

I'm not familar with python, but this is a good chance to have a look at python :-)

So, in the next days I have a view on the screenlet code...

Hello
Your screenlet seems to be great, but I can't make it work.
I have all it needs and I it seems able to log in into my google account ("offline" goes out), but it shows nothing at all.
What should I do?

Hi,
when the screenlet does not show the comment "offline" it has successfully connected to Google.
By default the screenlet queries only events which start within the next two weeks with respect to the moment of querying.

For the start I suggest:
- Create an event which is one day in the future.
- Increase the value of "# weeks".

If this does not change anything, start the screenlet from the command line and have a look at the output for errors...

Good luck

Yes, I tried to put test entries int my Calendar and tried to change the number of weeks to display but nothing helped.
When tried to start in a terminal, it managed to login but reported an error:

gdata.service.RequestError: {'status': 500, 'body': 'Service Error: Could not generate feed.', 'reason': 'Internal Server Error'}

This sounds like an internal error at Google. To test whether you can access you calendar's feed try this:
- go to your calendar's settings in your browser
- click on the XML-button for your private address and have a look at it.

If this works and the screenlet still does not, I have no further clue at the moment...

On the Google Calendar's side everything is fine.
By the way. When I tried to run the screenlet from cl it never showed up. The Screenlet manager has the Run box ticked and when I try deselect it to stop Phant it can't stop it. Another bug is that the settings window doesn't close when I press "Close". The only way to close the Settings window is to close the window.
Are they all related somehow?

I've teste the screenlet on several computers (all Ubuntu 9.10) and did not receive the errors (close-button, service error) you described.

I had a look at Google and found some pages referring to the code 500 error you encountered. Maybe one of them might help you:

It's very strange. I am on Ubuntu 9.10 too. Similar screenlet eigenCal works just fine...

CrazyScientist

Hi,
unfortunately I have no idea, why the function GetAllCalendarsFeed() returns an error.
But I will have a look on the problem.

Please feel free to investigate the problem, too. Maybe we find out, what went wrong.
