org-caldav VS org-gcal.el

For CalDAV there is org-caldav or khalel. For CardDAV there is khalel. In my experience, though, using these packages is kind of involved and not very satisfying.

- Org-Caldav

PS: I've asked a similar question before and I know of org-caldav, which still requires a CalDAV proxy and org-gcal, which only works for Google.

Yeah, thanks for mentioning this - that was indeed my plan. I’m using org-caldav successfully on one machine, but I’m finding it hard to run across multiple machines. https://github.com/dengste/org-caldav/issues/270

org-caldav for calendar sync

I have a few files that are specifically reserved just for calendar/todo syncs. Then I set them up with org-caldav.

Random example of someone dealing with it... :

I use org-caldav with emacs-calfw.

I have Org-Caldav partially working with davmail and Office365. (Yes my employer hates me and I have to use Outlook!) In Thunderbird items I create on the phone appear in Org-Mode. But for Org-Caldav items I create on the phone do not appear. Items created in Emacs Org-Capture in the todo.org file do appear in Outlook (and Thunderbird).

- Org-gcal

As for your question, I use org-gcal, which was working fine for me, but the recent update and switch to oauth-2.0 means I have to re-authenticate about every 48 hrs. Not sure if that's down to me or inherent in the package, but it's worth trying IMO.

There is an opened PR about this. https://github.com/kidd/org-gcal.el/pull/200

I guess this is the currently maintained version https://github.com/kidd/org-gcal.el

Perhaps you are looking at the old version? This is I believe the current one, I've been using it for some time and it has been working pretty well https://github.com/kidd/org-gcal.el And not sure which oauth you are meaning, but there are changes coming later this year, which I think are tracked here https://github.com/kidd/org-gcal.el/issues/191

It turns out there is now a bug in org-gcal-fetch (which affects org-gcal-sync) that "forces org files into active window". This leads to a one-line fix that solves the issue (changing switch-to-buffer to set-buffer in org-generic-id.el).

Background: I maintain org-gcal, a package that lets users synchronize Google Calendar events with Org-mode files. One of the features that I have is a way to download the event description as HTML. Right now, I just download the raw HTML and place it in a drawer.

Is there anything to be done at this point? org-gcal still works for me at the moment, but I'm guessing it won't come October. The maintainer's github page (at least that's who I think is the maintainer) doesn't mention this issue at the moment though.
