Dashing widget to display the next and some subsequent Google Calendar events using the Google Calendar API v3.
I use this widget to display my shift calendar - see the screenshot below
This widget works with API v3 and requires a service account to be set up via the Google Developer's Console. Once a project is set up, enable the Calendar API. On the Credentials page create a new OpenID and download the p12 key file - set up the path to this file in the job file and grant the email address access to the relevant calendar.
The job file defines how many events to get from the calendar and when to start the search. My version gets the next 6 events.
Add to Gemfile:
gem 'google-api-client', '>= 0.8'
Run
bundle install
Download the Moment javascript library and add to your javascript assets. Add #= require moment.js
to the application.coffee script. You can also use moment.min.js
if you've downloaded that.
Hi guys! So I've got this widget working and showing upcoming events for my calendar. Easy! However, the respective Morning/Afternoon/Evening part of events aren't showing up. Looking through the html it looks like this is the event.summary. I ended up using moment.min.js because I already had it installed for another widget. Could this have something to do with it? Code newbie here so have patience. Thank you
