Google Calendar Agenda PocketMod

YALP - Yet Another List PocketMod
When I first started this mod I hit a roadblock, I was using the basic feed, which is worthless [ This has been updated by google ]. Then I found out you can change the link from “basic” to “full”. That gave me some better options, but there are hidden query parameters! I found Google’s calendar api reference page, which gave me the answers I needed.How
to use this PocketMod:
Start by grabbing the url for the xml of the calendar you want to use. Calendar Support
Here are the parameters you need to use:
orderby=starttime
sortorder=ascending
futureevents=true
max-results=10
http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/uo64jt8569g%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic?orderby=starttime&sortorder=ascending&futureevents=true&singleevents=true&max-results=10
(you will need to change the link to your feed url)
With the above parameters this works great. Put this mod next to the Monthly Calendar mod and it works pretty good.
I’ve got my Google Calendar events in the Pocketmod app but every task has the word “undefined” in top of it. The latin characters are not shown too.
Thanks for your mods, the Remember the milk List works fine.
@gelo,
Thanks for help in locating the problem. I have also embed more “glyphs” for latin support.
I love the idea, just not able to make it work. still get the “Error in Loading XML Check you public feed or network connection”. Please help.
my xml tag is: I changed the GUID a bit, but the overall syntax is preserved.
Try testing the feed in your browser, see if it comes up.
Works well, but I’d love to use multiple calendars. If I try and use multiple copies of this mod, they all use the first feed it finds. Any tips?
Great work !!!
2 questions:
- I’d really like to add multiple calendars: that way I can see my appointments, todo-calendar, upcomming birthday-calendar, etc.
- Will there come a Google notebook(s) -> Pocketmod interface?
Sorry everyone, due to the nature of how they are implemented none of my pocketmod hacks support multiple versions. I have been playing around with yahoo pipes to “blend” two feeds together to get a single feed.
@Dr. Web, I just looked at the googles documentation for Google Notebooks. It looks doable. What kind information do you have in your typical notebook? The formating maybe a little tricky, since there doesn’t seem to be a limit on text or html.
Too bad.
As for the notebook:
I (try to) use in the GTD hierarchy, as explained on:
http://lifehacker.com/software/top/getting-things-done-with-google-notebook-256844.php
So it is one (or more) simple notebook(s) containing one-line text notes and some context headers.
When I use “basic”, I get one item at the top of the list called undefined. But when I use “full”, I not only get that one line on the top, but all of the dates/times of all of the list items show up also as “undefined”.
@Becky
Thanks for info. I have updated the mod to reflect changes in the feed. Please use “basic” in you google query.
A new version has been posted to http://www.wedothat.com/pocketmods
Hi,
This looks great, but I get the “Error loading XML file” message. I’ve checked the Google calendar URL separately in a web browser and it works fine. so there’s nothing wrong with the network connection. Any suggestions?!
Thanks

Hi,
I am using your google calendar mod…with the options .It basically is working, but continues to say the first 2 events are undefined (there should be no events there). it shows undefined twice, and then the first event. Any ideas?
Thanks
