      @tbanzato Hi! It’s impossible to know what you’re doing. There are dozens of calendar modules out there.

      • Which one are you using?
      • What is your configuration file?
      • What is your hardware?

      It says something like the Browser does not support JavaScript and…

      • Who says?
      • Why do you run curl and not a module or HTML iFrame?
      • What is your curl command?

        It is a Raspberry pi 3.
        The calendar module is the default one.

        The Configuration file is bellow

        {
                            module: 'calendar',
                            header: 'Calendar',
                            position: 'top_left',
                            config: {
                                    calendars: [
                                            {
                                                    symbol: 'calendar-check-o',
                                                    url: 'https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=83j7tsjdivl1q2mquioftrnqsk%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America%2FSao_Paulo'
                                            },
        
                                    ]
                            }
                    },
        

        The curl commend answer is “Seu navegador parece não ser compatível com JavaScript, que é necessário para exibir esta página corretamente.” which is in portuguese and the translation is - Your browser

          @tbanzato Your URLs look bad. They should look like one of these:

          • url: “https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/YOUR_NAME%40gmail.com/public/basic.ics”
          • url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/YOUR_NAME%40gmail.com/private-SECRET_CODE/basic.ics

            @E3V3A said in Google Calendar events do not show up since calendar update:

            https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/YOUR_NAME%40gmail.com/private-SECRET_CODE/basic.ics

            Thanks a lot for all the help I’ll test it tonight, now I have a question on the private option.
            And sorry if this is a stupid one.
            Where do I get my private-SECRET_CODE?

            Thanks

              Where do I get my private-SECRET_CODE?

              I don’t remember, but it’s in the Google calendar settings somewhere, not obvious.

                Hey the public URL you suggested works just fine
                url: “https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/YOUR_NAME%40gmail.com/public/basic.ics”

                This is what I did:

                1. Logged into Google Calendar
                2. Created a new calendar
                3. On the newly created calendar I changed the settings to “Make available to public”
                4. After that I copied the Calendar ID that looks something like this 83j7tsjdivl123edasul1ndas1k@group.calendar.google.com
                5. Changed it into the URL you suggested to look like this https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/**83j7tsjdivl123edasul1ndas1k%40group.calendar.google.com**/public/basic.ics”
                6. Changed it into the module settings

                Thanks a lot for the help @E3V3A

                Now I just need to find the secret private-SECRET_CODE for the private calendar, with this new calendar Google is making sure not to make things easy.

                  @tbanzato I can partly help with this. The secret code is available in your calendar settings - available either through the upper right gear icon -> Settings ->click on the calendar you wish to use in the left hand menu -> scroll all the way down … Or click on the three dot icon that comes up when you hover over the calendar name -> Settings -> scroll all the way down.

                  Then just copy and paste the “Secret Address in iCal format” into your config file.

                  (Note to the future - this is as of 11April18 - gods only know what the Google UI may look like tomorrow !)

                  And before you get excited, I did exactly that…and it doesn’t work, or at least not yet (still figuring that part out.)
