      @sdetweil I’m sorry to sound dumb but can you elaborate . Over typing ? Where are you putting the corrected url .

        @mercuryskies paste the url of a calendar entry into the browser, then using the keyboard, type over each character (overtype) one by one, and test hitting enter til the thing works.

        that is what I had to do… then, when it works, copy/paste THAT url back into the calendar entry in config.js

            @mercuryskies as Instructed I’ve over typed each character and keep getting " the site cannot be reached
            Calnder.google.com s server ip adress can not be found . Try checking connection and proxy firewall and Dns… "
            Nothing downloads basically. The url ends in ics correct?

              @mercuryskies ok, open another tab, and tpe the url https://calendar.google.com
              hit enter… that should work

              then copy paste everything AFTER the google.com from the failing to the good after the google.com (deleting any extra stuff on the good url)…

              then try THAT

I coudltn seem to get to the settings of the url on pi it seems to run a basic version of the website so I copied the private url from a windows internet browser where i could

                            @sdetweil could the problem be related to my node.js. I only ask as when I was trying to configure the google photos module there was a message that came up stating I needed to update my node.js 10.2 to a later version.
                            Could this old version be preventing my calender from working?
                            Thanks , Michael

                              @mercuryskies if u put the cursor in the address/url field and hit ctrl-a (select all), ctrl-c (copy), then u will get the full url.

                              Those operations are the same as on Windows.

                                Hello,
                                I am also new here and wanted to connect my calendar to my Google calendar as well.

                                I somehow already failed to get the *.ics file. If I only copy the link out of Google, which is there for pasting, the list with the appointments unfortunately remains empty.

                                I then tried to create a *.ics file from this public link in various ways and as described in various videos, but unfortunately all to no avail.

                                Has Google changed anything recently?

                                Unfortunately, the thread here comes to an abrupt end. How did it come to a solution?

                                  @Seregeth open calendar.google.com

                                  use your mouse to hover over your name in the calendars list in the lower left navigation panel
                                  when over your calendar, 3 dots will appear to the right, click on the 3 dots, and click on ‘Settings and sharing’

                                  the calendar settings page will be displayed,

                                  scroll down to the “Integrate calendar” section

                                  in the lower part in the ics section select the secret url
                                  Secret address in iCal format.

                                  ‘Use this address to access this calendar from other applications without making it public.’

                                  that url is the one u specify in the MM calendar config…

                                    @sdetweil Perfect, thank you very much! That really helped.

                                    But to make my luck perfect, I also need the dates from my “family” folder in Google, where we put all our dates.
                                    I can’t find the access to a *.ics file in this one, not even a secret link or anything like that.

                                    Is it possible to integrate this?

                                      @Seregeth the creator of the calendar is the only one that can find the link… so you have to ask them to give it to you…

                                      I have the same problem on my family calendar… my daughter had to give it to me.

                                        I’m sure I created this family account myself and invited others to join. (I am the family manager).
                                        But I also enter my appointments there myself, but I don’t see them either.

                                          @Seregeth i do not know really

                                          i can select the family calendar and see the events in the calendar view (checkbox in front of calendar name)

                                          I can select multiple calendars and see all their events together ( as I would expect), or select just one calendar

                                          I just can’t share it when I didn’t create it

                                            I will use MMM-GoogleCalendar, this workes fine with the famlily calendar from Google.
