    Is it possible to integrate Google Birthday, Anniversary calendar(Calendar ID: addressbook#contacts@group.v.calendar.google.com) in MM config without using public ical url? This calendar does not have a secret ical url.

      @Rags no, sorry. the calendar depends on the ics file

      you could downloaded it manually and use the file . I assume it doesn’t change much

            @Rags newer entries… it will have to be downloaded again.

            somebody/something has to use the public url.

            the owner of the calendar could give u the private url. I have one like this. daughter owns it

            I don’t see the ‘secret’ of the secret url if I can send it to you and you can use it without logging on as me… same as public

              I used the export option on google calendar to download the file.
              The downloaded file looks like this;
              Birthdays_addressbook#contacts@group.v.calendar.google.com.ics
              The config file looks like this;
              'http://localhost:8080/modules/default/calendar/Birthdays_addressbook#contacts@group.v.calendar.google.com.ics

              I get a display of “an error in the calendar module, check log for more details”
              the Module is unable to read this format. What needs to be done?

                @Rags I do not know what the export option format looks like. just use the public url in this

                curl  -sL url  > somefile.ics
                

                thn examine the somefile.ics

                it is just a text file

                that is the format required

                  @Rags that url string might need to treat special chars differently (escape them, or use the hex equivalent). I would rename it using simple text

                      @Rags sorry to ask a maybe stupid question: but how do I export the birthday calendar from my Google calendars?

                      The key here is, that the birthday calendar it not a “normal” calendar with an ics file, so when looking into the calendar options, it doesn’t offer an export option (while it does for all my normal calendars).

                      Thx, Chris
