An Alfred 2 workflow for viewing a particular date in Google Calendar. Also functions as a simple date calculator.
I use the "date" keyword as a trigger for this action in Alfred 2. You can change it to "gcal"
or whatever suits your fancy, by double-clicking on the script filter in the Alfred workflow pane and
changing the "Keyword" option. By default, dates are in US MM/DD/YY format, but you can change this by following
the directions under Date Formats below.
##Uses
-
Enter a date and press Enter to jump to that date in Google Calendar. While the Alfred window is open, it will show you the complete date and day of week for that date.
-
Use "+" or "-" after the date to navigate by days (d), weeks (w), months (m), or years (y).
-
You can use "+" or "-" without a date to navigate from the current date (today).
##Date Formats By default, the current extension uses US-style dates, in the format "MM/DD/YY".
You can change it to put the day first (DD/MM/YY) by double-clicking on the script filter in the Alfred workflow pane, and changing the 5th line from $date_format="US"; to $date_format="UK"; (or any other value).
You can use a different separator character by changing the 6th line $date_sep="/"; to suit your fancy. Note that
if you use '-' as the date separator, you will need to put a space between the date and the calculation when you are using the date navigation feature. For example, date 12-25 -13 calculates 13 days before Dec. 25 this year, whereas date 12-25-13 is Dec. 25, 2013.
