DelegateGcal

I took the bookmarklet that I quickly wrote up on friday and converted it to a Firefox extension. It now adds a link in Gmail to create a new Goggle Calendar event with the title and details filled in with the subject of email and the URL of the email respectively. This can be done on any email whether it has event information or not.

This is based on the DelegateToTodoist extension by [ICR].

Install DelegateGcal

Update 11/2007: This extension does not work with the new version of Gmail. There’s a greasemonkey userscript (not written by me) that seems to work well and has more features.

@erik,
Yes, it shouldn’t be too difficult.. I’ll try to get that out soon-ish…

Hi,

Great idea! Thanks for taking the time to do it.

About GAFYD, not sure if this will help…but I asked ICR to include GAFYD for the todoist tool - and he just said that it was as simple as including GAFYD Domains in the ‘whitelist’. In case you don’t use GAFYD, the domains are always either http://mail.google.com/a/domainname.com or https://mail.google.com/a/domainname.com .

Hope that helps…I’m dying to use this with it!

Thanks for your smart work.

Any chance this could be modified to work with Thunnderbird? It’s absolutely BRILLIANT!

Any chance you could get it to work at the same time as DelegateToTodoist as I’d really like to use both…

First, I edited “PROFILE_DIR/extensions/delegategcal@ano.malo.us/chrome/content/delegategcal.xul”. On line 24m, I changed ‘hosted’ to ‘a’.

Then, I edited “PROFILE_DIR/extensions/delegategcal@ano.malo.us/chrome/content/delegate.js”. Lines 28-29 were originally:
var gmail_url = “http://mail.google.com/mail/?fs=1&tf=1&source=atom&view=cv&search=all&th=” real_id;
var url = “http://www.google.com/calendar/event?action=TEMPLATE&text=” title “&details=” escape(gmail_url);

I replaced those two lines with:
var domType = document.location.href.split(’/')[3];
var gmail_url = ”;
var url = ”;
if (domType == ‘a’) {
var domain = document.location.href.split(’/')[4];
gmail_url = “http://mail.google.com/a/” domain “/?fs=1&tf=1&source=atom&view=cv&search=all&th=” real_id;
url = “http://www.google.com/calendar/hosted/” domain “/event?action=TEMPLATE&text=” title “&details=” escape(gmail_url);
} else {
gmail_url = “http://mail.google.com/mail/?fs=1&tf=1&source=atom&view=cv&search=all&th=” real_id;
url = “http://www.google.com/calendar/event?action=TEMPLATE&text=” title “&details=” escape(gmail_url);
}

Would love to get this working with GAFYD!

When I install, for some reason my OPTIONS tab is greyed out and unavailable. Does this sound liek and installation error? perhaps there is a conflict with another of my billion FF extensions?

I’ve created a new version of the extension that works with the DelegateToTodoist extension and with GAFYD. The extension won’t update automatically (argh!!) but you can download it from http://ano.malo.us/archives/delegategcal-v112
