#Rainlendar pro vs lite how to

Ok, now to actually keep rainlendar synced, you have basically two options. I also changed 'Read only' to 'Yes' to remind myself that this 'syncing' is one-way only, from Google to rainlendar (if you want two way, you would have to get the pro version, I suppose). Be sure to change the 'Monitor changes' option to 'Yes', otherwise this exercise would be quite useless ). Once you called the script, the calendar files from google should be in the directory you specified and you can import them in rainlendar (right click on it -> Options -> Calendars -> Add. Get-icals.py /path/to/icals.txt /path/to/output/ Name: gets each ical file from google, and saves them as name.ics in a path specified by the second argument given to the script. What this does is that it goes through the file with your ical urls, splits each line at the first colon (that's why you should save them in the form Outfile = os.path.join(sys.argv,nextical+'.ics')Īnd save it (I called mine get-icals.py) and make it executable: Second: directory where the ical calendars should be saved''' Ok, now for the hacking: create the following python script:įirst : location of file containing the ical URLs. Repeat this for all the calendars you want to show up in rainlendar. So my first entry in the file looks like this (all one line)

Put the name of the calendar in front of it, followed by a colon and a space. It will show you an address, copy that into your ical file.

Here is how to pull your google calendars into rainlendar lite:įirst thing you'll need is to find out the private ical address of the Google calendars you want and put it into a file, I called mine icals.txt ) To find the address go to Google calendar, click on settings, click on calendars, click on the calendar you want (if you have several), scroll all the way to the bottom where it says 'Private Address' and then click on the green ICAL button.
