## ReminderFox - Info

### Sync reminders with Google Calendar

Google Calendar supports sharing with other Calendar events only.
Tasks (in ReminderFox called: Todos) can not been shared.

#### Google Calendar / ReminderFox 2-way Sync

> The sync is an file-based synchronization as described on the GCALDaemon for other calendars as well.
> It also describes the installation of GCALDaemon (Java 1.5 required).

> #### Setup for 2-way Sync of ReminderFox ICS/iCal data files

> 1. Start GCALDeamon Config Editor
>    The Windows installation add a menu to the Start group automatically. Alternatively 'config-editor.bat' or for Linux 'config-editor.sh' can be used.

>    The Start opens an Editor dialog, select the third tab [ 1 ] "File synchronizer" and [ 2 ] "Enable the file-based calendar synchronizer", then click on [ 3 ] "Google Accounts" button.

>    With the "Google Accounts" dialog all already registered Google Calendar accounts are shown. If required -- you can register a new Google Account: Click on [ 4 ] 'New Account', type in your Gmail address and password (twice), then click on [ 5 ] 'Verify' button.

>    After the verification, click on the 'OK' button.

> 2. Select the Calendar Synchronization Pair

>    Click on the [ 6 ] 'New' button.

>    For the 'Google Calendar' use the [ 7 ] menu selector and choose the calendar. The [ 8 ] 'iCal file' menubox has to hold the related ReminderFox calendar (ICS/iCAL file). For that the [ Browse ] button can be used to select the ReminderFox ICS/iCal file.
>    A direct access to the file name and location gives the ReminderFox Option dialog and the "File" tab [ 9 ] :

>    In the ReminderFox Options dialog disable the [ ] 'Use Default' and copy the location string right to it using the context menu. That string has to be entered as "iCal file" to the menubox at [ 8 ].
>    After select/browse/copy the appropriate "Google Calendar" and "iCal file" details, click [ 10 ] 'OK'.
>    Important Note: This setup doesn't use any ReminderFox Network entries:

> 3. Close the "Config Editor"

>    Use "File" on the main menu, select [ Exit ] -- or close the dialog using the red [ X ].
>    Make sure the changes are saved.

> #### Using the 2-way Sync

> > The Google Calendar <--> ReminderFox Sync can be initialized with the Start menu:

> > A single sync: |  | Start the schedule:

> > Remember to reload Google Calendar after using the "Sync Now!" to show any events coming from ReminderFox.

#### ReminderFox as 'Viewer' for Google Calendar

> This mode allows to view events from your Google Calendar in ReminderFox, but it is not possible for you to add events in ReminderFox and have them appear in your Google Calendar. In this scenario, all events must be added using Google Calendar, and ReminderFox will act as a 'Viewer' of these events.

> It is a little tricky to find the URL that you need to synch with Google calendar. Click on the little arrow button next to the calendar that you want to synch with in the 'My Calendars' section of the Google Calendar use interface. Select 'Calendar Settings' from that drop-down. Find the Green link that says 'ICAL' next to the Private Address section of the Settings. That is the URL that you will enter into the Reminderfox Network tab. (Right-click on the ribbon, go to Options, select Network tab). Make sure you pick 'http' from the drop-down in the ReminderFox network tab, and make sure the 'Synchronization' checkbox is unchecked.
