Display the Google contacts birthdays

[ivanovd]

Hi. Is there a way to show the birthdays of the Google contacts?

Currently I am using the private link to my primary Google calendar which has sub-calendar with the birthdays of my contacts.

However, that calendar is not showing up in MyCalendar.

The workaround that I have found is to export the birthdays calendar and upload it somewhere and as an .ics file and add it as additional calendar in the config. The drawback to that is that every time I add a new birthday I have to export and re-upload the calendar. It would be nice to have a way to show the birthdays calendar directly without having to manually work this around.

P.S. Using the integrate link from the Birthdays calendar didn't work as you have to be logged in to your google account to display that.

Thanks.

Anybody?

you need a calendar in ical format to do so, there is another module called MMM birthday calendar that can do that.

you can use the secret link for google calendar , and update the fetch interval in configuration to 1000 on second then it will sync online without uploading each time

it works for me fine
