Sync to Google Calendar
September 29, 2010, 09:09:14 pm
I've searched and didn't find anything.

Does anyone know of a way to sync one's assigned activities to a google calendar?  If there isn't something available to do it...could someone point me in the direction on starting to write a module to do it?

H,

If you format the activities as vcal/ical, google cal should be able to import then

Sounds like a useful project,

 let us know how it progress, I forsee some discussions about "authentication" ie generating a url that is  hard to guess enough so I won't be able to see your activities.

Would the best route be to use the Views2 integration to do that formatting and create the link?

When we looked at this the two main issues were:
- Some kind of bug in how google dealt with ical. Also timezone issues.
- Meeting invites often (always) originate as emails (both inbound/outbound), so you need to deal with duplicates. Your use-case may be simpler though.
