Please try again". Could anyone out there tell me what I'm doing wrong - or if there's a workaround for the issue?" I am having the same issue on my Infocast

Suddenly stopped working. Works correctly in the chumby.com dashboard, but doesn't display on my ChumbyOne. Other apps are working fine. Weird.

I am using this app to view a family calendar on my chumby. Unfortunately it doesn't know anything about "Umlaute" like "ÜüÖöÄäß". My native language is German, but this issue may occur in most non English languages which are used in Europe. Besides this, great app.

I'm really disappointed in the Google Calendar Apps for Chumby. This one doesn't allow me to display my events for today unless I specifically click on it, so I can't set it to automatically show me the day instead. The other GCal App has me clicking highlighted days. And neither app displays multiple calendars! Very disappointing.

It would be great to add a clock display.

Hello, we are not able to replicate the issue and are looking into this. Thanks for your patience.

Turns out this app used a site (chumbyappproxy.appspot.com) that looks like it it going over bandwidth limits, and thus, calendars weren't loading. I am guessing the proxy was necessary to get the Cross Domain XML set up (so that flash could load HTML from the proxy, where it couldn't have from Google). Long story short, wrote a little script and dropped it on my personal server, then configured the hosts file on my chumby to make chumbyappproxy.appspot.com resolve to my personal machine. Next step is to use the internal web server on the chumby itself to fill the request. Well, it took a few hours, but it works for me (finally!)

This is a great app, still would like to see it display the title of the calendar to help distinguish when using multiple instances for multiple calendars.....

Doesn't work at all. Get error message: "Unable to retrieve calendar data".

it works only when I set Google Calendar to public. Is there any way to make it work with a non puplic calendar (soory for my bad english, i'm from germany)

Doesn't handle multi-byte characters and time zones. My events are skewed one day forward it seems.

yep, iCalendar would be great!

It would be wonderful if ksteele make a iCalendar capable version of this app. Is the source code available?

+1 for multiple calendars

There are a number of feature requests and other issues raised both here and in the forum. Please post your comments/inquiries in the forum (forum.chumby.com) and there will be certain to be a lively discussion there. Thanks!

Works great for me. But I'd like to add my voice to the multiple calendar requests. Thanks.

Multi-byte characters are not displayed. Please give me a source. I will try to localized for Japanese. [email protected]

This doesn't seem to work for me. It either doesn't load my calendar or it shows no events.

I agree that support for multiple calendars would make this widget one of the best of all for Chumby. If the widget can download events from one URL, it could probably download and combine events from multiple URLs. Alternately, I wish Google Calendar were smart enough to export all my calendars under one URL.

Like the idea, and really for this kind of gadget just a daily view all I need. But what this widget does need is support for multiple calendars. Personally I haven't even been able to come up with a workaround.

It's a good start but useless with support for multiple calendars.

I kinda like the widget but I really miss international charackters... All ö,ü,ä,ß are missing :(

It's very disappointing that this widget does not support international characters. I entered Japanese text in Google Calendar. It is displayed perfectly on the web browser, but this widget simply blanks out all the text.

Any way to merge all the calendars on my gCal into one feed, for the purposes of this widget?

Does it work with Google Apps accounts? I have just loaded it up and it says that it cannot load calendar.

I saw your comment about all-day events now working, but I just got a new Chumby and JUST installed this widget, and my all-day event on Friday is showing up at 11pm-12am Thursday.

I also need the capability to combine several GoogleCalenders into one Chumby widget ordered by event time. We have one calendar for each member of the family plus a couple of extras for a total of seven. This would be a great new feature! Thanks.

Is there a widget that combines some Google Calendars? I have seven Calendars for different Teams I work in it would be nice to have a widget that shows a combined view like the google calendar website

danspam, thanks for the comment. All Day events should display properly now.

The widget does not seem to support international characters (for example Danish æøå/ÆØÅ).
moshiko51

The widget has been updated. It no longer displays events from previous days, and generally works a lot better. You can now view your calendar in event or day view, and we hope the widget is easier to use now. We weren't able to get all of the requests addressed in this version, but will be making further enhancements to the widget.

Is there any plans for an update with this widget. It seems like it would be great if it worked well. It doesn't show my complete calendar, mostly birthdays that don't happen for a few months and since they are set up as all day events it doesn't even tell you the date.

great idea for a widget but sloppy execution. no date on whole-day events. no sorting. i get the comment on adding the query parameters, but it's not very user-friendly to have to manually search and add that in.
ivailo
– January 03 2008
i made comments earlier based on the standart http address you get from google calendar. well. it turns out you can actually sort out the calendar events as well as show only future events and/or limit the number of events to display by appending the query options for google calendar retrieval. google the following 'google calendar api query parameter' and you will get the list of all that you can append to your calendar. it now works just fine for me

also, whole-day events are not displayed with their respective date. instead, unknown is used.
ivailo

this widget displays the events in the same order those are received in the XML file from google calendar, which puts first events that have been recently modified/entered. events from google must be sorted and start with imminent then future ones. however, this widget does not soft them. which renders it useless for at-glance viewing busy calendar.

Widget is very promising. Really hoping for updates in the future. Current version has problems with re-occurring events.
Dougnet99

Worst widget I have seen. Absolutely worthless. Shows events out of order, and does not even show the time and date of the event.

Wish this would start with a monthly view, like the Google Calendar widget.

Could be very helpful if you could set date parameters for displaying

Same problem as above. It's showing appointments that are all in the past.

Got it to work (who knows why it was freezing before). The problem is that it seems to show events (past, present and future) in no particular order.

Seems to freeze my Chumby. When I go from viewing to the control panel, none of the on screen buttons work and I have to cycle power. I have one of the new Chumbys
