If this plugin helps you, I'd really appreciate your support. You can buy me a coffee here.

Logseq Calendars Plugin

A plugin that allows you to import calendar events from GCal, iCloud, Outlook and web based subscriptions in the iCal format. This appends all of the events scheduled for the current day to that days daily note page.

Important! Version 2.0 requires Logseq to be at version 0.6.0 in order to work properly with a GUI. You can still configure settings manually.

Usage

  • Three ways to import events
    1. Use the command pallet via mod+shift+p and select a specific calendar to import
    2. Use the keyboard shortcut you defined in the settings to import that specific calendar
    3. Click the icon in the toolbar to import all calendars to daily note page
  • Import events from past days
    • When you are on either a non journal page, the home page or the current daily note, Logseq will import the current days events to the current days daily note
    • When you are in a journal page for a different day, that dates events will be added to that dates daily note page (How cool!)

Setup

  1. Get the ics link from each calendar provider using the below steps
  2. In Logseq, navigate to the entry in the plugins list for "Logseq Calendar Plugins
  3. Click the gear and then "Open Settings"
  4. Make sure you are at least on version 0.6.0 of logseq
  5. Open plugin settings by clicking the edit settings button

  1. Set templates, timeformat,
  • disabled is required and is defined by logseq itself, you don't need to do anything here
  • template is the text that will go on the parent block(more on the syntax below)
    • Underneath the block titled the calendar name, you will see blocks in this format
  • templateLine2 is a block indented after template
  • accounts are defined by just entering the iCAL and your desired title for the calendar. You can have up to three calendars. The first is mandatory but the others can be left blank to not be included while calling the fetch method. If you don't want a calendar to show up, leave either the title or the URL blank
  • timeFormat can be 12 or 24. The choice is regarding whether you want 24 hours time(19:00) or 12 hour time. (7:00 pm)

For older versions: 0.5.9 and below:

Breaking Change to the logseq calendars plugin. It now uses the new beautiful native settings GUI in logseq released in version 0.6.0

You will have to insert all calendars again. You should probably also delete the existing settings file and start fresh. Release also requires logseq version 0.6.0 to be installed to access the GUI.

If you want to use it with an older version of logseq, change your settings file to follow this format:

{
  "template": "{Start} - {End}: {Title}",
  "templateLine2": "{Description} at {Location}",
  "calendar1Name": "Google Calendar",
  "calendar1URL": "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/rao6fvrrsq6mdorf9n30fs6mk4%40group.calendar.google.com/private-18ccd424400ef24c5d343ec93b289590/basic.ics",
  "calendar2Name": "",
  "calendar2URL": "",
  "calendar3Name": "",
  "calendar3URL": "",
  "disabled": false,
  "timeFormat": "12 hour time"
}
