Problems with Google Calendar sync

Post by navfox »

When I sync the "powerchurch" software calendar with the Google calendar, only the events for Sunday & Wednesdays shows up.
(I have deleted the events on the Google calendar twice so I could start over from the beginning. Then tried the sync again. I get the same results. I have doubled checked everything I can think of, but nothing is different for events that show up and events that do not.)

Are all the events listed as 'church wide events' ?? If not, I believe they will not be synced to Google.

Church wide events get posted to the default calendar. Events associated with Activities are posted the the Activity sub calendar. The Maintain Descriptions in the Activities, Setup menu has an Events tab to set up these sub calendars.

Does PC+ Online sync with Google Calendar yet?
If not, is there a plan to make that happen, and is it scheduled for this year?

PowerChurch Online does have the Google Calendar sync. That was a feature added in Version 11 of PowerChurch Plus, so PowerChurch Online has had that for a couple of years now.

Thanks much.
You may want to update the online Help Contents then, which says it is not available. Could not upload my screen shot for some reason.

Also -
Just wondering here, as I am a new user to PC+ online... wondering if I can assume all Maintenance Releases are including PowerChurch Online, unless specifically noted?

Thanks again in advance.

MRs are for the PC Plus program itself, since you're using PC Online, these are done by the staff, no action is required by the users.

I did not mean the action of doing a maintenance release, but rather the results of the software changes...

Can I assume all of the maintenance release software changes are reflected in the PC+ Online, unless otherwise stated?

Thanks.

Yes, PC Online receives all Maintenance Releases the morning after they are published.

Also, what it says in the manual is that automatic sync (adding the pcgsync.exe program to the Task Scheduler in Windows) is not available in PowerChurch Online. You can still use the menu option to manually run the sync.
