      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

                      Problem- Google disavled the old authentification.

                        @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
