Now that Google had discontinued the XML RSS feed for calendars, I've been trying to make the iCal version work and I'm not quite sure what the Start Date, End Date and Days Ahead values do.  When ever I try to put in an End Date, no matter which Date I enter, I get an invalid date error.  Days Ahead seems to be ignored.  And I end up getting results that are months off in the future.  Can anyone help explain the best way to use the iCal or Google API option and what these parameters do.  I've started reading the code but I'm not that familiar with Ruby so its difficult to find the right parts of the code to read.

Thanks,
Chris

Finally found the right section of code.  

I don't know why the End Date always gives an invalid date error but the solution that worked for me was to only specify the Days Ahead parameter and leave both Start Date and End Date blank.

Thanks, I had the same exact problem. However, even now I do not have anything showing up. I am trying to use a Google calendar. Have you had any success?

I did have success.  I used the Private iCal link from the Google Settings page. 

I set the Days ahead to 20 and left the Start date and End date values blank and the Max results to 10.
