Handling timezones when extracting Calendar data to a Spreadsheet - javascript

I'm working on a little Google Apps Script that will export event data from a selected Google Calendar to a new Google Spreadsheet for a selected date range. One problem I'm having is that the times when copied over to the spreadsheet are off by three hours. Any suggestions as to how to handle this and display the event times correctly?
Here's my code so far: (It's a work-in-progress)
function doGet() {
var app = UiApp.createApplication();
var handler = app.createServerHandler("change");
var picker1 = app.createDatePicker().addValueChangeHandler(handler).setId("picker1");
var picker2 = app.createDatePicker().addValueChangeHandler(handler).setId("picker2");
var pickerpanel = app.createHorizontalPanel();
var panel = app.createVerticalPanel();
pickerpanel.add(picker1);
pickerpanel.add(picker2);
panel.add(pickerpanel);
var lb = app.createListBox(false).setId('lbCalSelId').setName('lbCalSelect');
lb.setVisibleItemCount(3);
var cals = CalendarApp.getAllCalendars();
for (var i=0; i<cals.length;i++) {
lb.addItem(cals[i].getName(),cals[i].getId());
}
panel.add(lb);
var button = app.createPushButton().setText("Export").setId("button");
var handler = app.createServerClickHandler('doExport').addCallbackElement(panel);
button.addClickHandler(handler);
panel.add(button);
app.add(panel);
return app;
}
function change(eventInfo) {
var app = UiApp.getActiveApplication();
if (eventInfo.parameter.picker1) {
UserProperties.setProperties({"DateRangeStart":eventInfo.parameter.picker1});
app.add(app.createLabel("Start date " + eventInfo.parameter.picker1));
}
else if (eventInfo.parameter.picker2) {
UserProperties.setProperties({"DateRangeEnd":eventInfo.parameter.picker2});
app.add(app.createLabel("End date" + eventInfo.parameter.picker2));
}
return app;
}
function doExport(eventInfo) {
var app = UiApp.getActiveApplication();
var calId = eventInfo.parameter.lbCalSelect;
var cal = CalendarApp.getCalendarById(calId);
var rangeStart = UserProperties.getProperty("DateRangeStart");
var rangeEnd = UserProperties.getProperty("DateRangeEnd");
app.add(app.createLabel("The button was clicked!"));
if (rangeStart && rangeEnd) {
app.add(app.createLabel("exporting..."));
var events = cal.getEvents(new Date(rangeStart), new Date(rangeEnd));
var eventsData = [];
var headerRow = ['Title','Start Time','End Time','Location','Description'];
for (var i=0; i < events.length; i++) {
var eventData = [];
eventData.push(events[i].getTitle());
eventData.push(events[i].getStartTime());
eventData.push(events[i].getEndTime());
eventData.push(events[i].getLocation());
eventData.push(events[i].getDescription());
eventsData.push(eventData);
}
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.create("Export of " + cal.getName() + " from " + rangeStart + " to " + rangeEnd);
var sheet = ss.getSheets()[0];
var destRange = sheet.getRange(1, 1, events.length, headerRow.length);
destRange.setValues(eventsData);
}
else {
app.add(app.createLabel("Range not specified."));
}
return app;
}

I figured it out.
I just set the timezone of the spreadsheet to the same timezone as the calendar and it worked like a charm.
ss.setSpreadsheetTimeZone(cal.getTimeZone());

Google Apps Script- Get Guest List from Calendar

I am having a hard time finding a way to get the emails of all the partecipants in the next events on my calendar.
I only get the email of only one partecipant
The final idea should be to color code the calendar based on who is in the meetings.
Here's what I got so far
var today = new Date();
var nextweek = new Date();
nextweek.setDate(nextweek.getDate() + 7);
Logger.log(today + " " + nextweek);
var calendars = CalendarApp.getAllOwnedCalendars();
Logger.log("found number of calendars: " + calendars.length);
for (var i=0; i<calendars.length; i++) {
var calendar = calendars[i];
var events = calendar.getEvents(today, nextweek);
for (var j=0; j<events.length; j++) {
var e = events[j];
var title = e.getTitle();
var guestlist=events[j].getGuestList();
var details=guestlist[j].getEmail();
if (details == "example0#gmail.com") {
e.setColor(CalendarApp.EventColor.CYAN);
}
if (details == "example1#gmail.com") {
e.setColor(CalendarApp.EventColor.YELLOW);
}
if (details == 'example2#gmail.com') {
e.setColor(CalendarApp.EventColor.GREEN);
}
}
}
} ```

Google sheets - How to get row index of a column, based on the index of edit URL from the same row?

I am coding a room booking system using combination of Google forms and Google calendar.
When there is a new booking order:
An event will be automatically created on the selected calendar.
An edit response URL will also be generated automatically and put in column 10 of the spreadsheet in the same row where the form answer was inserted.
// This is the function to generate the edit URL (which works perfectly).
function getEditUrl(request) {
var formRes = FormApp.openById('XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX');
var sheetRes = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName('YYYYYYYYYY');
var data = sheetRes.getDataRange().getValues();
var urlCol = 10;
var responses = formRes.getResponses();
var timestamps = [],
urls = [],
resultUrls = [];
for (var i = 0; i < responses.length; i++) {
timestamps.push(responses[i].getTimestamp().setMilliseconds(0));
urls.push(responses[i].getEditResponseUrl());
}
for (var j = 1; j < data.length; j++) {
resultUrls.push([data[j][0] ? urls[timestamps.indexOf(data[j][0].setMilliseconds(0))] : '']);
}
sheetRes.getRange(2, urlCol, resultUrls.length).setValues(resultUrls);
};
However, problem occurs when there are more than 2 orders; as the next order will delete the calendar event from the previous order.
// This is the function to update the calendar event.
function updateCalendar(request) {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var lastRow = sheet.getLastRow();
var range = sheet.getRange(2, 1, lastRow, 13);
var values = range.getDisplayValues();
var calendar = CalendarApp.getCalendarById('XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX#group.calendar.google.com');
for (var i = 0; i < responses.length; i++) {
getConflicts(request);
if (request.eventConflict == "conflict") {
sheet.getRange(lastRow, 11).setValue("conflict");
break;
} else if (request.eventConflict == "approve") {
var newEvent = calendar.createEvent("booked", request.date, request.endTime);
var newEventId = newEvent.getId().split('#')[0];
sheet.getRange(lastRow, 11).setValue("approve");
sheet.getRange(lastRow, 12).setValue(newEventId);
break;
}
}
for (var j = 1; j < values.length; j++) {
if (values[j][10] == "approve") {
var eventEditId = calendar.getEventSeriesById(values[j][11]);
eventEditId.deleteEventSeries();
sheet.getRange(j + 2, 11).setValue("");
getConflicts(request);
if (request.eventConflict == "approve" && values[j][10].length > 1) {
var newEvent = calendar.createEvent("booked", request.date, request.endTime);
var newEventId = newEvent.getId().split('#')[0];
sheet.getRange(j + 2, 11).setValue("approve");
sheet.getRange(j + 2, 12).setValue(newEventId);
break;
} else {
sheet.getRange(j + 2, 11).setValue("conflict");
break;
}
}
}
};
My questions:
How to make sure that when respondent edits his/her own response, it will always update event from the same column as the edit URL? --> I have separate function that will send edit URL to respondents
When there is more than two submission, the 3rd submission will delete event of the 2nd one. (I am sure the issue is on the updateCalendar() function).
I have been struggling so much for the past few days trying to figure out the best way to come up with best loop method. Any help / response is greatly appreciated.
EDIT:
This is the column description of the sheets (separated with |):
Timestamp
Email Address
name
Check-in date
Check-out date
Room
No. of people
total day
total
edit URL
Event Conflict
Event ID
This is the function to get event conflicts in the calendar:
function getConflicts(request){
var conflicts = request.calendar.getEvents(request.date, request.endTime);
if (conflicts.length > 0) {
request.eventConflict = "conflict";
} else {
request.eventConflict = "approve"
}
};
And this is the main function that will be triggered on formsubmit:
function main(){
var request = new Submission(lastRow);
getEndTime(request);
draftEmail(request);
updateCalendar(request);
};
This is the screenshot of the sheet
Finally I found one way to retrieve the edited row by using e.range method. So basically I created another sheet inside the same spreadsheet. When there is a new submission, it will automatically copy the new submission to the second sheet. And when there is an edited submission, it will go through the copy sheet to find the edited row, and then edit it (as well as the calendar). Credit to Tedinoz

Adding event to calendar via Google Apps script - error when calculating end time more than one hour after start

I have a simple app in which users complete some basic details of a meeting in a google sheet and then export these to their google calendar. Script as follows:
function exportEvents() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var headerRows = 1;
var range = sheet.getDataRange();
var data = range.getValues();
// var calId = sheet.getRange("H2:H2").getValue();
var calId = "xxxxxxxxxxxx";
var cal = CalendarApp.getCalendarById(calId);
for (i=0; i<data.length; i++) {
if (i < headerRows) continue;
var row = data[i];
var date = new Date(row[1]);
var title = row[2];
var initial = row[0];
var concatTitle = initial + " - " + title;
var tstart = new Date(row[3]);
tstart.setDate(date.getDate());
tstart.setMonth(date.getMonth());
tstart.setYear(date.getYear());
// var tstop = new Date(row[4]);
var tstop = new Date(tstart + row[4]);
tstop.setDate(date.getDate());
tstop.setMonth(date.getMonth());
tstop.setYear(date.getYear());
var loc = row[5];
var desc = row[6];
var id = row[7];
try {
var event = cal.getEventSeriesById(id);
}
catch (e) {
// do nothing - we just want to avoid the exception when event doesn't exist
}
if (!event) {
var newEvent = cal.createEvent(concatTitle, tstart, tstop, {description:desc,location:loc}).getId();
row[7] = newEvent;
}
else {
event.setTitle(concatTitle);
event.setDescription(desc);
event.setLocation(loc);
var recurrence = CalendarApp.newRecurrence().addDailyRule().times(1);
event.setRecurrence(recurrence, tstart, tstop);
}
debugger;
}
range.setValues(data);
}
The whole thing works great, except for when the user puts more than 60 mins as the length of the meeting in column 4. Anything up to 59 mins works great and the event is logged with the correct start and end time. However, when I enter 60 or more mins, the error reads 'Event start time must be before event end time."
I'm sure I'm doing something very simple very wrong, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Google apps script to re-execute function using trigger

I am new to javascript or google apps script. I am using this function to import data into MySQL database from a google spreadsheet. This sheet has over 16000 records and I would want to breakdown the import into smaller batches of 2000 records. In the function createGASTrigger() how would I change my logic to grab first 2000 records from the spreadsheet in the first iteration and then the next 2000 records in second iteration and so on.
Function 1
var address = 'database_IP_address';
var rootPwd = 'root_password';
var user = 'user_name';
var userPwd = 'user_password';
var db = 'database_name';
var root = 'root';
var instanceUrl = 'jdbc:mysql://' + address;
var dbUrl = instanceUrl + '/' + db;
function myFunction() {
var stime = new Date();
var col1;
var col2;
var col3;
var dbconnection = Jdbc.getConnection(dbUrl, root, rootPwd);
var statement = dbconnection.createStatement();
var googlesheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName('sheet1');
var data = googlesheet.getDataRange().getValues();
dbconnection.setAutoCommit(false)
for (var i = 1; i < data.length; i++) {
col1 = data[i][0];
col2 = data[i][1];
col3 = data[i][2];
var sql = "{call [dbo].[sp_googlesheetimport](?,?,?)}";
statement = dbconnection.prepareCall(sql);
statement.setString(1, col1);
statement.setString(2, col2);
statement.setString(3, col3);
statement.addBatch();
}
statement.executeBatch();
dbconnection.commit();
statement.close();
dbconnection.close();
var etime = new Date();
Logger.log('Exec time: ' + (etime.getTime() - stime.getTime()));
}
Function 2
function createGASTrigger() {
var varUserPropertiesService = PropertiesService.getUserProperties();
var varUserTriggerId = varUserPropertiesService.getProperty("myFunction");
var varUserTrigger = ScriptApp.getProjectTriggers();
for (var i in varUserTrigger) {
if (varUserTrigger[i].getUniqueId() == varUserTriggerId)
try
{
ScriptApp.deleteTrigger(varUserTrigger[i]);
}
catch(e)
{
Utilities.sleep(30000);
ScriptApp.deleteTrigger(varUserTrigger[i]);
}
}
myFunction();
var userProperties = PropertiesService.getUserProperties();
try
{
var nextTrigger = ScriptApp.newTrigger("myFunction").timeBased().after(1 * 120 * 1000).create();
}
catch(e)
{
Utilities.sleep(30000);
var nextTrigger = ScriptApp.newTrigger("myFunction").timeBased().after(1 * 120 * 1000).create();
}
}
I haven't tested this but I think this is a good starting point.
function myFunction() {
var stime = new Date();
var col1;
var col2;
var col3;
var dbconnection = Jdbc.getConnection(dbUrl, root, rootPwd);
var statement = dbconnection.createStatement();
var googlesheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName('sheet1');
var data = googlesheet.getDataRange().getValues();
var itrows=1000;
var complete=false;
if(PropertiesService.getScriptProperties().getProperty('iteration'))
{
var iteration=Number(PropertiesService.getScriptProperties().getProperty('iteration') + 1);
}
else
{
var iteration=Number(PropertiesService.getScriptProperties().setProperty('iteration', 1));
}
var max=itrows * iteration;
var min=max - itrows + 1;
if(max>data.length-1)
{
max=data.length-1;
complete=true;
}
dbconnection.setAutoCommit(false)
for (var i=min;i<=max;i++)
{
col1 = data[i][0];
col2 = data[i][1];
col3 = data[i][2];
var sql = "{call [dbo].[sp_googlesheetimport](?,?,?)}";
statement = dbconnection.prepareCall(sql);
statement.setString(1, col1);
statement.setString(2, col2);
statement.setString(3, col3);
statement.addBatch();
}
statement.executeBatch();
dbconnection.commit();
statement.close();
dbconnection.close();
if(complete)
{
PropertiesService.getScriptProperties().deleteProperty('iteration');
}
var etime = new Date();
Logger.log('Exec time: ' + (etime.getTime() - stime.getTime()));
}
function createGASTrigger() {
var varUserPropertiesService = PropertiesService.getUserProperties();
var varUserTriggerId = varUserPropertiesService.getProperty("myFunction");
var varUserTrigger = ScriptApp.getProjectTriggers();
for (var i=0;i<varUserTrigger.length;i++)
{
if (varUserTrigger[i].getUniqueId() == varUserTriggerId)
{
ScriptApp.deleteTrigger(varUserTrigger[i]);
break;
}
}
var userProperties = PropertiesService.getUserProperties();
var nextTrigger = ScriptApp.newTrigger("myFunction").timeBased().after(1 * 120 * 1000).create();
}
Either store a page value in PropertiesService.getScriptProperties() or add a value to the spreadsheet for all rows as you add them

Google script - parse HTML from Website Forum - and Write Data to Sheet

I'm getting HTML from a forum url, and parsing the post count of the user from their profile page. I don't know how to write the parsed number into the Google spreadsheet.
It should go account by account in column B till last row and update the column A with count.
The script doesn't give me any errors, but it doesn't set the retrieved value into the spreadsheet.
function msg(message){
Browser.msgBox(message);
}
function onOpen() {
var ui = SpreadsheetApp.getUi();
ui.createMenu("Update")
.addItem('Update Table', 'updatePosts')
.addToUi();
}
function getPostCount(profileUrl){
var html = UrlFetchApp.fetch(profileUrl).getContentText();
var sliced = html.slice(0,html.search('Posts Per Day'));
sliced = sliced.slice(sliced.search('<dt>Total Posts</dt>'),sliced.length);
postCount = sliced.slice(sliced.search("<dd> ")+"<dd> ".length,sliced.search("</dd>"));
return postCount;
}
function updatePosts(){
if(arguments[0]===false){
showAlert = false;
} else {
showAlert=true;
}
var spreadSheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var accountSheet = spreadSheet.getSheetByName("account-stats");
var statsLastCol = statsSheet.getLastColumn();
var accountCount = accountSheet.getLastRow();
var newValue = 0;
var oldValue = 0;
var totalNewPosts = 0;
for (var i=2; i<=accountCount; i++){
newValue = parseInt(getPostCount(accountSheet.getRange(i, 9).getValue()));
oldValue = parseInt(accountSheet.getRange(i, 7).getValue());
totalNewPosts = totalNewPosts + newValue - oldValue;
accountSheet.getRange(i, 7).setValue(newValue);
statsSheet.getRange(i,statsLastCol).setValue(newValue-todaysValue);
}
if(showAlert==false){
return 0;
}
msg(totalNewPosts+" new post found!");
}
function valinar(needle, haystack){
haystack = haystack[0];
for (var i in haystack){
if(haystack[i]==needle){
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
The is the first time I'm doing something like this and working from an example from other site.
I have one more question. In function getPostCount I send the function profileurl. Where do I declare that ?
Here is how you get the URL out of the spreadsheet:
function getPostCount(profileUrl){
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var thisSheet = ss.getSheetByName("List1");
var getNumberOfRows = thisSheet.getLastRow();
var urlProfile = "";
var sliced = "";
var A_Column = "";
var arrayIndex = 0;
var rngA2Bx = thisSheet.getRange(2, 2, getNumberOfRows, 1).getValues();
for (var i = 2; i < getNumberOfRows + 1; i++) { //Start getting urls from row 2
//Logger.log('count i: ' + i);
arrayIndex = i-2;
urlProfile = rngA2Bx[arrayIndex][0];
//Logger.log('urlProfile: ' + urlProfile);
var html = UrlFetchApp.fetch(urlProfile).getContentText();
sliced = html.slice(0,html.search('Posts Per Day'));
var postCount = sliced.slice(sliced.search("<dd> ")+"<dd> ".length,sliced.search("</dd>"));
sliced = sliced.slice(sliced.search('<dt>Total Posts</dt>'),sliced.length);
postCount = sliced.slice(sliced.search("<dd> ")+"<dd> ".length,sliced.search("</dd>"));
Logger.log('postCount: ' + postCount);
A_Column = thisSheet.getRange(i, 1);
A_Column.setValue(postCount);
};
}
You're missing var in front of one of your variables:
postCount = sliced.slice(sliced.search("<dd> ")+"<dd> ".length,sliced.search("</dd>"));
That won't work. Need to put var in front. var postCount = ....
In this function:
function updatePosts(){
if(arguments[0]===false){
showAlert = false;
} else {
showAlert=true;
}
There is no array named arguments anywhere in your code. Where is arguments defined and how is it getting any values put into it?
