Sync from Sosius to Google Calendar problem

Hi

My google calendar seems to update with events from my sosius calendar completely at random. When I first set up the sync it pulled in all the events but from then on it only brings in new events once in a while. There seems to be no way to force the sync and it just doesn't do it according to any kind of schedule. I'm using the webcal://my.sosius.com/calendar (etc) link since the other one doesn't work at all.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Elliot

Hi Elliot,

It appears to be a long standing issue with Googles external calendar syncing:

I'd recommend either:

a). Use the Google calendar as the primary calendar, editing event only in there and syncing your Sosius calendar against it; or

b). Use another online calendar such as Zoho (which supports approx 12 hour automatic syncing and also manual on the fly syncing): https://calendar.zoho.com, https://forums.zoho.com/topic/zoho-calendar-new-release

Kind regards,
Michael

Hi Michael

I tried using Zoho but I'm having a little trouble. I was able to import the calendar using the URL which works fine but doesn't update (not even manually). I went this route because every time I try to 'subscribe' to the 'webcal' address of my Sosius calendar nothing happens. I click the subscribe button on zoho, a blue box pops up and it says loading, it disappears a couple of seconds later but there is no calendar.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Hi Michael

It seems I needed to reload the Zoho Calendar page. Now I see the calendar.

Thanks
