GPE-Calendar Newbie Question

[toridnyc]

What types of "Subscriptions" work in GPE Cal? I've tried links to ICS files, RSS feeds (calendar feeds), and webcal:// links. Nothing seems to work. I do get an error when I try the webcal:// link, but nothing for the others.

Anyone successful at adding a web-based calendar in GPE-Calendar?

It works for me. I have an .ics file which is stored online and accessed through webdav.

Try this link it should work: http://homepage.mac.com/ical/.calendars/US32Holidays.ics
no password or user name required

This is similar to what I have tried. So I tried the actual URL that you listed, and while I don't get an error, I also don't get any entries in the calendar.

Is it possible that there is some other setting in GPE-Cal that I've overlooked?

Thanks for your help.

I subscribed to the link above and didn't get any entires? Suggestions anyone?

[toridnyc]

I'm glad I'm not the only one.

One thing that I did notice was that if I hit the Trash icon, it shows me "0 calendars, 0
entries", so it seems to think it has a valid subscription, just empty.

Same problem here.

Tried with Google Calendar private url, with and without password and I have the exactly same problem as the posters above. It would be really, really great to have this working.

I have also twice reformatted (installed the firmware(?) again) and it has been like this before and after every new install.

Interestingly http://homepage.mac.com/ical/.calend...32Holidays.ics worked for me, but my private cal url still doesn't work. :(

Hmm.. wonder if there could be some library issues?

Which version is everyone on? I made some custom changes and have my own build, but it's based off gpe-calendar 0.73-21, libsoup version 2.2.93-1.

[toridnyc]

GPE-Cal 0.73-21
libeventdb0 0.29-9
libgpepimc0 0.8-1
libgpevtype0 0.17-2
libgpewidget1 0.114-1

These are all the libraries that look GPE related. I don't see anything named libsoup.

I don't know if its relevant or not, but Cal is the only GPE app that I have installed (I don't have Contracts or Todo).

[cw3]

libsoup won't show up in blue pill mode. One easy thing to try would be to run it from command prompt, it might give some extra error messages related to syncing calendars.

/usr/bin/gpe-calendar

(I do have both todo and contacts btw)

[toridnyc]

Result:

~ $ /usr/bin/gpe-calendar
Updating Travel
Updating 30b
The profile contains the unsupported custom attribute X-WR-CALNAME.

Both calendars say updated "0 minutes ago" in the Calendars view. I think I'm going to try installing Todo and Contacts one at a time to see if they bring a lib to the party that fixes the Cal issue.

So on N800 OS 2008 I can't install this..

Missing libsoup2.2-8 (>=2.2.98)

What to do?

I installed gpe-calendar on my N810 along with COntacts and todo.

After reading this thread, just now I imported Google Calendar ical using the ical address for my GCal.
The first time it failed saying the URL does not exist. So I made my calendar public and did a refresh on my gpe-calendar app on and I can get all my Google calendar events in gpe.
This is great. I did not even know this could be done.
Great way to have one view of my persoanl IT based events and the collaborative GCal calendar.Maybe having todo and contact (I also installed GPE-summary) might help resolve the issue.

But can I import my GCal wihout having to make it public and open to everyone ?

I am having the same problem...I just updated firmware on my N810 and it's in one of the repos I backed up. I am enabling them one at a time but so far I haven't figured out which one it's in.
