Read/Write

Probably in a future add on.

Google Calendar Events (now Simple Calendar) reads from public Google Calendar calendars.

Simple Calendar 3.0.0 will do the same but has more features, a new widget, new admin UI and is fully extensible. That means we (or anyone eventually) can build add ons to add features.

I have ready an add on for 3.0.0 that reads from Google private calendars and does a few more things than the base plugin currently in beta. It uses Oauth to connect to Google and that would also allow to write to calendars. But likely won’t be in the initial feature set. As development progresses and new iterations of the add on are made, thanks to user feedback, at some point we could add ability to push events to Google.

ps – releasing new, and likely final, beta-2 later today, it has fixes and also light/dark skin as well as custom color settings

OAuth 2, css-hack extensibility and widgeting sounds exciting. Looks like the future direction is to go “platform” with ability to build add-on. That’s a powerful concept esp when other killer google apps/services could be added via api leveraging on your app. Meanwhile, once the beta push/write capability is out, I’ll be among your early fans to test drive 3.+ and share feedback if I found anything constructive.

Thank you – Latest beta is here:

(mind wiping out previous plugin first, and ideally try this on a test/staging/local site – if you are not sure, do backups)

You’re very welcome to send feedback here or if it has to do with code, you can use GitHub as well

But if you are just waiting for ability to write to calendars I’m afraid you’ll have to wait a few months. Since it’s a delicate feature some careful planning needs to go in there.

ps – no “css-hack” extensibility, I never mentioned those. No hacks, in general, they wouldn’t be maintenable with updates.

Thanks for the note. I’ve subscribed to your updates and will keep a lookout for the write capabilities. Happy coding!
