Setting up your source calendar

Calendar must not be set to "Share only my free/busy information (Hide details)"

See: Calendar Details > Sharing Settings.

We must fetch the public/full version of the calendar, which is not available when the "Share only my free/busy information (Hide details)" box is checked. We need this version because it has extra nodes.

We need to full version in order to get the event times, and getTimes returns nothing from a basic calendar.

(So the times are not returned unless you do ask for public/full)

An event must be public, and you must set it to busy for it to show.

Deployment

Run rake deploy to deploy the differences between the current and and the revision specified in VERSION.

Run rake changes to print the list of changes.

Note: the deployment system only includes files in the public_html/ directory. Note: deployment is via FTP and requires you to provide your credentials in a yaml file called .ftp in the root directory. Use .ftp.example as a template.

Tips

To find out what methods a javscript object has, for example all its getters: var anyObject = "xxx";

for (var prop in anyObject) {
  if (prop.indexOf("get") != -1) console.log(prop);
}
