G'day, fellow codemonkeys! Does ANYone out there know how to write to event comments via php/ zend? I can't find a snippet or sample anywhere to lighthouse me through the storm, here ..
My problem originated with not being able to export comments through the GUI when I tried to export/import (ie. move) calendars around. All the data EXCEPT for the comments is successfully ported, but leaving that data behind made the boss very unhappy, so now I'm trying to programmatically move events between calendars (the project is to consolidate several calendars into one - sounded WAY easy when i first said that i'd take care of it). Anyhow, it seems that when I'm saving an event with comments I need to first create/save the event and then look it up to find the eventid, so as to determine the comments feed url that i need to write to - I've been able to do that much so far. However, I'm having problems understanding the datamodel, namespaces, refs and such for actually writing a new entry to the comments feed. What does a snippet of zend writing comments to an event look like? Any help would be much appreciated - I've emailed a few google people about this with no joy as of yet. I've also banged my head into the wall for a couple days .. no joy there, either. :) Thanks alot, Brian.
