Conky Google Calendar Python Script

[Wangsta]

So, this thread hasn't been updated recently, but I was wondering if there was any way that I could have the time BEFORE the date?

Such as: 3:00pm Mon 7

thanks!

Can conkyGoogleCalendar, or anthing else I could possibly hook into conky, access Google Tasks? So far I've only been able to get calendar events to appear, but I also use google tasks which can appear on the online calendar as well.
Thanks,

Bump, why do threads keep dying as soon as I ask a question...??
Is there any way I can get my soonest-upcoming google tasks to show up in conky? (as opposed to google calendar events?)

Just mess about with these 2 options:

  -f "DATEFORMAT", --dateformat="DATEFORMAT"
                        If used this overrides the default date formatting.
                        The values to use are standard formatting strings e.g.
                        Weekday=%a, Day=%d, Month=%m, Year=%y. For an output
                        like "Thu 15/10/2008" you would require
                        --dateformat="%a %d/%m/%y", to have no date you would
                        require --dateformat=""
  -F "TIMEFORMAT", --timeformat="TIMEFORMAT"
                        If used this overrides the default time formatting.
                        The values to use are standard formatting strings e.g.
                        Hours (12hr)=%l, Hours (24hr)=%H, Minutes=%M,
                        Seconds=%S, AM/PM=%P. For an output like "05:22 PM"
                        you would require --timeformat="%l:%M %P",
                        --timeformat="" is not supported, default locale
                        settings are used

Don't know of anything sorry

I'm loving your calendar script. It's something I've been looking for - almost.
Is there a way to modify the script so that the output is all on one line?
That is, instead of

Event one
Event two
Event three
etc

as output, I get

 Event one, event two, etc

instead when I run the script.

I want to fit a scrolling feed of my gcal events into one line on Conky. Thanks for any help!

The script on its own can't but use sed to replace new line with commas and you should get what you want...e.g.

Execi conkyGoogleCalendar ...options...¦ sed ...options...

Where "¦" is a pipe (on my phone)

Great script!
Though I'm having some problems to which I was unable to find a solution.

Everything works great on regular calendars, but my Google Calendars also include one imported by URL calendar (and that's the most important one). The events from this calendar show up in conky -3 hours.
So when I have "EVENT A" starting at 14:15, conky shows that it starts at 11:15.

What could be the problem? Other calendars work just fine.

Thanks in advance.

mmmm, I had a similar issue in the past because of certain calendar feeds being based in other timezones...I don't think I found a solution. Can you let me know what the public calendars you've added in that have this issue so I can try and reproduce it?

[ppihus]

I sent you a link to the calendar I'm having problems with. Since it's my school's daily schedule, I don't want to post this in public forums.
