The work will be divided into two parts:
- Bash script to obtain and parse events
- LUA widget that reads the file generated by the bash script
First, we will install the tool that will download the events from our Google Calendar:
git clone https://github.com/insanum/gcalcli.git
cd gcalcli
python setup.py install
emerge dev-python/pip
pip install vobject parsedatetime
emerge dev-python/google-api-python-client
Now we create the script that will parse the output of the previous tool and generate the file with the correct syntax to be read by the LUA widget:
#! /bin/bash
NOW=$(date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%m')
NOWEPOCH=$(date +%s)
#echo -e "NOW: $NOW"
#echo -e "NOWEPOCH: $NOWEPOCH"
# 30days --> 2592000
ENDEPOCH=$((ENDEPOCH=NOWEPOCH+2592000))
#echo -e "ENDEPOCH: $ENDEPOCH"
END=$(date -d @$ENDEPOCH '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%m')
#echo -e "END: $END"
> /tmp/tareas
IFSORI=$IFS
IFS=$'
'
for LINE in $(/usr/bin/gcalcli --tsv --calendar CALENDARIO1 --calendar CALENDARIO2 --calendar CALENDARION agenda "'$NOW'" "'$END'")
do
YEAR=$(echo $LINE|awk -F "-" '{print$1}')
#echo -e "-- YEAR: $YEAR"
MONTH=$(echo $LINE|awk -F "-" '{print$2}')
#echo -e "-- MONTH: $MONTH"
DAY=$(echo $LINE|awk -F "-" '{print$3}'|awk -F " " '{print$1}')
#echo -e "-- DAY: $DAY"
case $MONTH in
01) MONTHLETTERS=Jan ;;
02) MONTHLETTERS=Feb ;;
03) MONTHLETTERS=Mar ;;
04) MONTHLETTERS=Apr ;;
05) MONTHLETTERS=May ;;
06) MONTHLETTERS=Jun ;;
07) MONTHLETTERS=Jul ;;
08) MONTHLETTERS=Aug ;;
09) MONTHLETTERS=Sep ;;
10) MONTHLETTERS=Oct ;;
11) MONTHLETTERS=Nov ;;
12) MONTHLETTERS=Dec ;;
esac
#echo -e "-- MONTHLETTERS: $MONTHLETTERS"
TXT=$(echo $LINE|cut -f5-)
#echo -e "-- TXT: $TXT"
echo -e "** $TXT" >> /tmp/tareas
echo -e "SCHEDULED: <$YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY $MONTHLETTERS>" >> /tmp/tareas
done
IFS=$IFSORI
We perform the first execution so that it asks us for the credentials of the Gmail account, from this moment gcalcli will store these credentials:
NOTE: It may try to open the web to give access to the account with a browser without javascript, if this is the case before executing the script we will indicate the browser to use:
We put the script in the cron to run every 5 minutes:
SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
*/5 * * * * /home/XXXX/.scripts/cal.sh >/dev/null 2>&1
We download the widget:
wget www.alfaexploit.com/files/orglendar.lua
NOTE: The widget on my website has been modified so that the week starts on Monday, the previous script imposes the restriction that calendar events cannot have spaces, it can be replaced by _ for example, for more information about the widget ,
We integrate the widget into the clock:
-- Create a textclock widget
mytextclock = awful.widget.textclock({ align = "right" })
local orglendar = require('orglendar')
orglendar.files = { "/tmp/tareas" }
orglendar.register(mytextclock)
With this, we have everything set up. Now, when the mouse hovers over the clock, a calendar and a list of events will be displayed. The result is as follows:
