Google Calendar/Contacts update

5

Posted in ColdFusion | Posted on 09-17-2008 | 3,082 views

I updated both my GoogleCal and GoogleContacts projects tonight. GoogleCal was updated to use the new base CFC code GoogleContacts uses. I also added basic support for some of the API methods for getting events that Google supports. Both projects now support hosted Google accounts as well.

I'm considering maybe merging these two projects into one uber project, like I did for my cfYahoo package. Any opinions?

one ring to rule them all

I like them separate, actually, since I am interested only in the calendar portion. You know, basing my thoughts on what is good for all of humanity by the yardstick of my own very personal needs ;).

this is a great piece, thanks for writing it and posting it!

i did run into a problem, though, that i wanted to post about in case it will help someone else. i noticed that there is a difference in default charsets between CF7 and CF8. this was causing me to get a weird prolog error on CF7 servers (tested on two to confirm), because it was coming back empty. i tested a bit of urlencoding and a snippet from ben nadel's site (he ran into a similar prolog error), and still was getting an error. then i finally realized i needed to specifiy the charset="utf-8" on the cfhttp because the server versions were different. once i did this, everything worked on both CF7 and CF8. seems so small, but took me a few hours to figure out. oh well, i am now on my way to ninja cf status for having spent time to figure it out.

thanks again.

Ray,
I've used a number of your tips and tools over the year, the googleCalendar CFC is great.
It really offered great insight.

Thank you
