Google calender no events shown

Seregeth

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

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

@Seregeth yes, that module cheats by using Google apis. lol

the default calendar module only processes generic ics data
