With the holiday season upon us, I got a few Evites that broke my Greasemonkey script to add Evite invitations to your Google Calendar. I went through and cleaned up the code a bit, and I think it’ll work a bit better now.
You’ll find the “Add to Google Calendar” link next to the Print link on most invites.
Hey, I made a small revision to my Greasemonkey script that makes it smarter about handling time (particularly AM/PM).
It’s updated here and updated on Userscripts, where I’m up to like 566 installs! I’m a hit! Or something. And I’m like the 4th link in Google if you search for “google calendar evite!”
If you’ve got Greasemonkey, install your Evite to Google Calendar script right from here.
I’d noticed a couple of problems with my Evite to Google Calendar script, so when I got an Evite today, I took some time to figure out how to fix it. I fixed everything I could find, and made the script a bit more robust at handling future Evite changes. So, if you’ve been having problems, give it another shot and hopefully it’ll work for you now.
Install Evite to Google Calendar Greasemonkey Script v1.3
You can also install it from UserScripts, like 387 other people.
I got my first Evite in a while, and I noticed that my little Greasemonkey script wasn’t working for it. That lead me to go back and check out the entry at Userscripts and find out that people were getting bit by the fact I had to hard code the timezone info, which isn’t very friendly.
So, I opened it up again and hacked around and fixed both bugs. Took me about 30 minutes, and got my mind off of recent events.

Now with:
Be the 191st person to install it!
I went to check out my Evite To Google Calendar script page at Userscripts, since I like to poke in every once in a while and see if anyone is actually using my script. Last I had checked I had about 4 downloads.
Today: 64! 64 people have installed it. That’s pretty cool. Granted, that’s not a ton, but it’s a lot more than before! I left a comment, since I’m hoping someone will follow up and let me know if anyone really finds it useful.
