Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Do you take regular backups? If so, in the documents.zip file, there is a hidden directory (/Root/home/user/.gpe) that contains your calendar file. you can just copy it back to your /home/user/.gpe directory on the N800 and all should work.

The other option would be to export your google calendar to ical format and import, but if you go that route, you'll have to manually edit the .ics file to get rid of any WKST attributes. See http://www.handhelds.org/hypermail/gpe/54/5423.html for details on that.

How Erminig works :
Google Calendar is the reference calendar. Its contains all events.
Gpe contains only events between the days range specified in the profile.
Today : 07/06/13
Erminig profile :
previous days: 2
next days : 2
So, Erminig will import events from Google to GPE, the events between 07/06/11 and 07/06/15
The GPE database is always cleaned and contains only the days range events.
All modification in GPE are replicated in Google.

Updating process :
1 - Deleted GPE events are deleted in Google Calendar
2 - New GPE events are created in in Google Calendar
3 - Updated GPE events are modified in Google (changing title, location, etc ...)
4 - All events in Gpe calendar are deleted
5 - days range Google events are imported

It's very difficult to code an advanced replication.
I have no idea to do it with an easy method.

If someone can write this in good english, I will add this to my website.

Sorry, for your GPE calendar.
If You extended the date range in the Erminig profile, You will get all your events.

thats cool, if you want to.

It is all working swimmingly for me,
but I noticed that it seems impossible to import from google calendar into GPE multiple months back (or anything over 30 days it seems).

Is there a limit to how far back you can go (I am trying to import a year's worth of calendar curriculum from last school year into GPE)

or is there a limit to how many days (back and forward or either) that Erminig can import or export?

Thanks!

I made many tests with different kinf of events : single, daily , monthly....
But it's very difficult to test all kind of events.
I made no test with the range limits.
if 10 days works, 365 days should work....

I'm installing a forum on my web site.

"4 - All events in Gpe calendar are deleted "
Couldn't this be changed into delete Gpe calendar events within days range ?

Because from your description I understand that there is nothing in GPE Calendar ouside of days range after running erminig.

Benjamin

P.S. I Like the erminig forum Idea post the url once it is ready...

I think it could be easy to do.
I will check how to do this....

I need help to check if the forum is ready.
Could You test it and create some test posts ?
Could You check if the dates are OK ?

Tahitibob,
I will be happy to jump on your forum, but one last question on this thread. Does it look like you will be able to create something similar to this for Contacts and if so, can you post it to this thread as well as your forum?
