	Submitted By Andrew (andrewconti)

Description

Based loosely on Away Cal I made some improvements and additions based on a script I made for iChat. It will display whatever events you have from iCal. You can specify which calendar you want to use, or use them all.

Usage



/ic2a{calendar, alternate}

calendar = calendar to use or "all"

alternate = message displayed when no events are found

Note: No quotes are needed.

ie. /ic2a{School, At school...}
Displays the event title and time when a 'School' event is in progress
OR
"At school..." when there are no 'School' events in progress.

Note: This script will not display itself in the "Current Status" window, but it will display properly for other people! You can check it by adding yourself to your buddy list.

Note: This script does not handle recurring events. I thought it did, but it doesn't. I am working on it though. College just takes up the majority of my time. Rest assured, I haven't given up, I really want this to work too.

Leave feedback on how it's working and what improvements/additions could be made.

If you want to customize it, feel free to explore the contents of the package. I commented everything pretty well and changes should be pretty easy. Have fun!

Is the following possible? I would like my status to be _set_ to away when there's an event in my Work calendar. I use my laptop at work, and would like the status to be changed automatically based on iCal events. Furthermore, I'd like the status message to say "In Meeting" without revealing what meeting I'm in.

It's very possible, I'll definitely think about including it in the next version.

You want a message to be displayed whenever ANY event of a certain calendar is in progress, right?

Yes. It would be nice to have support for a list of calendars like {Work, Gym} instead of single calendar vs. "all." But for now I would be _really_ happy if it could handle my "Work" calendar.

I promise to get to work on it as soon as I have time. Probably tomorrow. I have a speech due tomorrow morning, so wish me luck.

Good luck! :-)

Hi, that script isn´t working on my system. It´s a german OSX 10.4.6 with adium 0.89.1. The script only shows me the text of the "nothing is found" case. cu

I'll be honest, but I have no idea why that would be. I don't know anything about different translations of OS X. I plan on working on this again soon, and when I do, I'll look into why this is happening on your system.

ahhhhh crap. sorry it seems to by my fault! i thought that the script isn´t case sensitive, but the script is case insensitive. iCal doesn´t allows two groups with the same name even with upper and lower case. so one idea would be to convert all groupnames to lower characters inside the script.

another problem is the kind of appointment. the script ignore series of appointments, it only looks for stand alone appointments.

I know, I know. I am working on it, but it's a pain in the arse. Apple could simplify the whole matter by making an Applescript handler to get any currently running event, but they didn't. :-

After finals, I promise!

Do you have a clue how to create a skript which let me import my old chats from Adium to iCal? Simmilar to what BluePhoneElite can do with my Short Messages?
