Google CALDAV on GC 3.3

[Serban Mestecaneanu]

I have been trying to find out how to make Google Calendar sync to work in GC 3.3 and I gave up after reading many posts here with too much info to digest.

Is there an easy step-by-step tutorial or so to make this feature work?

Many thanks,

Serban

Well, it is not enough info :

I have two options in Preferences:

Calendar Type: 

1. Google Calendar
2. Generic Caldav

If I choose 1 I cannot enter the string written in that link (https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/xxxx@@gmail.com/events/ by the way there is a double @) but I can Authorise, after which I do it, it does not upload later giving an error.

If I chose 2, I can enter that string (with my gmail address) I also introduce there Caldev user ID and password, but nothing at Google CallID (should I put there something?). In this case I do not have the button activate active. I press save, restarts GC and gives me this error: Host requires authentification!

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Serban

Morning,

No other users manage to sort this out and give me some clues please?

Thanks,

Serban

Hey!

I unsuccessfully tried to get the Google Calendar integration to work. The CalDAV method was phased out by Google, so your only way would be through Google Calendar.

The authentication never worked for me, so I can’t help you any more with that. I ended up using a generic CalDAV server by provider.

all the best,

peter

Mark gave me that link, so this means he expect that sync should work, I guess. So I still have hope that someone will shed some light on this matter.

Thanks,

Serban

Hi, can confirm Google calendar syncing works for me - but was set up
some time ago - don't know whether that makes a difference..?

My settings;

Type: Generic CalDAV
Url: https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/XXX...@googlemail.com/events/
User: XXXXXX (same as above)
Pass: XXXXXX

Regards,
Jon.

[Serban Mestecaneanu]

Thanks Jon for your reply, I tried as per your settings but I am getting:

Error downloading https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/xxxxxx%40gmail.com/events/ - server replied: Method Not Allowed

Tried also with https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/xxxxxx%40googlemail.com/events/ - same error.

To make it even more interesting, if I set it up as Google Calendar, I can Authorise succesfully, but I could not come up with CallID as per the instructions, so maybe this is what I am missing to make it work.

I'll take a look later tonight. I suspect a bug in the OAuth code.

I had to try a few times to get mine to work.

Cal Type: Google Calendar, and

in my case, UserID and CalID are the same.

[Jörn R.]

Just checked - little, but correct documentation here: https://github.com/GoldenCheetah/GoldenCheetah/wiki/UG_Special-Topics_Upload_Download-to_from-external-web-sites#google-calendar

As mentioned before "default" Google CalId is your email-adress. You can look it up in your google calendar properties. But you can also create a special calendar in the properties which then has

a different Id (Id is shown next to the Tags [ICAL] [HTML] Calendard-ID:.......... 

If you authorize with this calendar ID the upload goes there - not to your default.

Both features

- upload activity to calendar and

- refresh calendar (where my Calendar entries were downloaded to GoldenCeetah) work.

No problem in OAUTH,.... - Release 3.3.0 - Win64 build.

[Serban Mestecaneanu]

After many attempts, I have found out that it works with this address: https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/xx...@gmail.com/events. However, I can upload very well one activity, but is there a way to upload multiple activities?

And what Refresh Calendar is suppose to do? 

Thanks,

Serban

[Jörn R.]

Not sure why/how this address can work - I recommend to use "CalID" like described - this is the way it is implemented specifically for Google Calendar.

Other CalDAV calendars will need a URL for sure.

Refresh actively syncs all the entries of the authorized Google CaliID Calendar into GoldenCheetah. This is also done automatically when starting

GoldenCheetah - so besides the first time after authorizing and in case you change/add entries in Google Calendar while working in GoldenCheetah

there is not need to use this.

[Serban Mestecaneanu]

But I am using CallID as described, it is my email address for google gmail, isn't it not?
