Khertan,

you are working on mContacts ...

- Will there be an integration of contacts into calendar) (for bithdays etc.)
- Have you planed a connection between mContacts and the internal contacts?

HI:
I am a relatively new user. I recently installed mcalendar on my N800. I synced without problems a few times with my gmail calendar. Then something happened and my syncing would stop at 60%. I have tried reinstalling with no avail. But it seems that I am not able to fully uninstall the application. Since the alarms keep going off even with the application uninstalled. I am wondering if any of you experienced folks have any suggestions.
Thanks -SSRajan

Yeah, choosing the calendars would be ideal. I keep different ones like friends, or cousins' class schedule which I can turn on and off to see when all our breaks coincide. But I don't need them all the time.

I guess for now if we want a certain calendar, we could just turn off the other ones when syncing (via web interface?)

I upgraded to the latest mcalendar this morning and get the 60% sync bug again. In the console I get:
I haven't done hardly anything with my calendar so I don't know how it would have gotten corrupted (if that is indeed what happened).

I like the new icons/graphics but maybe there is a more suitable icon (or add text next to it) for the delete button for events. The red X leads me to believe it is a cancel button (I made this mistake once already after upgrading).

version 0.4.6-1:

The odd display of repeating events is back in the weekly and monthy views, as it was in an earlier version (in the versions in between, they didn't display at all in those views!).

I think the problem lies in how the XML data from google is being interpreted. My repeating event happens every other friday, so it's set to repeat every other week on friday. The XML file indicates that the repeat frequency is "2"... and I think your software is interpreting that as 2 days. There's another field in the XML file that indicates whether the repeat value is expressed in days, weeks, or months, and I think that field is being misinterpreted (or ignored?).

I checked in on the issue with weekly repeats. Using datable i checked out the database, and a new weekly event was listing as repeating over days. in mevent.py, when the event is imported to the database the app checks to see if it repeats every day of the week. in line 98. instead of changing to a daily event only if it repeats on all 7 days, it does the opposite. If you change the line from
to
it should fix the issue. I would suggest removing this option, or adding extra logic to exclude the change if the repeat value is more than 1. As is, a event set to repeat every 2 weeks on every day of the week would be converted to a daily repeating events. Unfortunatly this fix will require a database rebuild.

I hope that this helps.

Anyone knows how auto sync works, i always go menu then sychro to sync new calenders, is it necessary or all sync is done in the background with auto sync checked in the preferences thanks.

I am having the same issue. I don't know what the cause is, but I sure wish it would fix itself.. I really need this to sync with my google calendar

How long do you leave it syncing? I have synced 1800 events at a time and once it took over 20 minutes (with errors making it take longer). Also, have you run from the command line to watch the output?

As for the auto sync not working, you can fix this yourself if you are comfortable with editing the program's files. PM me for help on this (I have already sent the info to Khertan).

For me I was only syncing 6 or so events that didn't yet exist locally in mCalendar. However, I noticed that even though it was stuck at 60%, it appeared to have grabbed all of the events anyway. I noticed this when I tapped on the month view (the events were for upcoming weeks) after letting it sit there at 60% for a bit. I didn't run it from the console that time though.
