Google Calendar Plugin

[ouiouimagicbox]

Hi all !

I have made a C# plugin for Google Calendar : https://github.com/ouiouimagicbox/raingcal

It comes with the following features :

• Support for multiple calendars (potentially an infinite numbers). All events are merged and sorted by start date.
• Configurable date format
• Specific date format for today's events and week's events (for example, display 12:00 for today or 'sat.' for next saturday events)
• Automatically generates include files for measures and meters according to "Max" parameters (need to Update twice the skin)
• Retrieve measure according to the measure name or by the "Property" parameter

Usage :

• Add the rainmeter SDK 'API' folder in the solution root folder
• Compile and put GCal.dll on <RAINMETER>/Plugins folder
• Checkout the "PGcal" folder for a fully functionnal skin
• Extract the XML private url from Google Calendar (see the settings for a calendar) and get that part : https://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/<CALENDAR_ID>/basic

Potentially future features :

• Mark recurring events (property already exists, just find a way to show it in the skin)
• Display comments, location, etc.

At first, this was made (in 1 evening) for myself but it could be usefull for everyone who use Google Calendar. Any suggestions are welcome.


[EDIT]

you might get more feedback, if you would provide binaries i guess.

That would be the reason I have yet to test.

I have just edit my first post with a link to the x64 binaries (it was already in Github but I understand a link is quite more usefull ).

Next step : compile x86 binaries and make a rmskin package... (soon)

I hope you know that putting binaries under version control is generally not a very good idea It's sad they removed the separate download possibility. That used to be so convenient for this kind of thing.

I have just released an rmskin package with both 32 and 64 bits binaries plus a fully functional skin with a sample calendar (UK holidays).

See the first post and enjoy !

@ouiouimagicbox
really nice plugin and skin!
A permanent skin on my Rainmeter desk

One thing I would like is this..
Ive set 'WeekDateFormat' to 'HH:mm ddd' but now if it is an All day event it will show 00:00..

would it be possible to show 'allday' (or something) instead of 00:00?
Hope you understand what I'm trying to say

Thanx again!

I understand what you want and it's something I was thinking about...

A simple way to do this would be to duplicate the 3 date format parameters with a set for regular events and the other set for all day events.

Another option would be to implement some sort of conditionnal formatting like this :

Code: Select all

(IsAllDay ? "'All day' ddd" : "HH:mm ddd")

Of course the second option is more flexible but could lead to secury holes...

[NisseDILLIGAF]

ok...

well, I've been trying to get my head around how the plugin works..
...nice with the template measure and meter..

I can't figure out how to make a condition for all day event...
should i make a Calc measure that checks [mGcal1_Start] ??

I think I'll just wait until you update the plugin...

Thanx!
