Basically i’ve done something similar, but what i want is it to work well with my dock – Have an 2 firefox icons, one for each profile, different names, and each one launches (does not trigger a separate firefox to launch).

I haven’t done this, and just thinking about it, it seems possible it could work in Google Calendar. You would just POST your additional occurrence to the edit url of the event.

However, Google has tried to work within standards and the model for recurrences developed in RFC 2445 is one where an exception is either a particular instance of an event that does not occur or is changed, not adding additional occurrences. It doesn’t specifically disallow adding occurrences, but in the way that you suggest, but it also doesn’t mention them and it isn’t completely obvious that it wouldn’t break lots of conforming applications.

This post: http://groups.google.com/group/google-calendar-help-dataapi/browse_thread/thread/dccd4854ea9b774b seems to suggest that it isn’t allowed by Google.

All that said, in my usage, there normally isn’t anything special about recurring events. If you have a recurring event called “Event!” every Monday, just add a new event called “Event!” on Friday.

Hope that helps,

Ray

Google calendars allows for recurring events, and further allows for the editing of those events, so I could have an event that happens every Monday, but reschedule next Monday’s occurrence for Tuesday instead. What I can’t figure out, is how to add occurrences. ie, letting the aforementioned event also run this coming Friday.

I’m using the Google Calendar API, and if you have any idea how this could be achieved, or if you need me to explain it better, please let me know.

Thanks,

this is what I had to do when using the java/groovy client. It may not be the best way, but it works.

      def list = calendar.getEditLink().getHref().split("/")
      URL postURL = new URL("http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/" + list[list.length-1].replace("%40","@") + "/private/full");

may be a bit late for hugues93. but others might find it useful.

Interesting; I was just doing this myself. I’ve been using Fluid, and I _really_ like it, but I want Firefox as the base instead of Safari, and I want multiple profiles, so I can have two of them logged into a site at the same time with different credentials, different plugins, etc…

I took a slightly different tack. I soft-linked nearly everything in my app to /Applications/Firefox.app/{whatever the original path was}

I kept Info.plist unlinked, and put my own firefox.icns file in Resources, but otherwise everything else soft-links over, to keep the app weight very light (and potentially easy to clone for more sites). Now I’m dithering about the shell script. Currently I have the top level MacOS directory soft linked, but if I want to run my own firefox-bin, I’d need to link all 45 files in that directory instead. There’s got to be a better way…

A CalendarEntry object has a getEditLink method which returns a Link. Link has an href method.

Put those together, and you should be able to do something like:

calendar.getEditLink().href to the the URI that you would post to to add an event to the calendar that you have created.

Ray

private static CalendarEntry createCalendar(CalendarService service) throws IOException, ServiceException {
System.out.println(“Creating a secondary calendar”);

// Create the calendar
CalendarEntry calendar = new CalendarEntry();
calendar.setTitle(new PlainTextConstruct(“My secondary calendar”));
calendar.setSummary(new PlainTextConstruct(“this is my project”));

// Insert the calendar
return service.insert(owncalendarsFeedUrl, calendar);
}

And i don’t know if i can do “calendar.getHref()”, or something like this. (i know that calendar.getHref() isn’t working, but it’s the idea :p)

Thanks again!!
