Only export minor holidays

amenaged1 5 years ago updated by Patsy J. Moore 5 years ago 2

I'm trying to make two separate calendars, one with only the major holidays and one with only the minor holidays, to have no duplicates. When I try to only export the minor holidays, it automatically includes the major ones. Is there any way to remove this feature?

Remove hebcal calendar events from outlook.com

ClaudeT 7 years ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 3 years ago 1

I have added Hebcal 2018-19 to Outlook.com by downloading it directly. I have not created an additional calendar, so everything is in Outlook.com Unfortunately, it seems that have made that twice and my default Outlook.com Calendar has all duplicate events. How can I restore my Outlook.com calendar?

Hi, thanks for using Hebcal, and we're sorry to hear about those duplicate events.

We don't know of an easy way to bulk-delete many events directly from Outlook.com, but if you have Outlook for Mac or Outlook for Windows attached to your Outlook.com account, you may be able to follow instructions like this to easily remove duplicates:

Something I built using your API

dpoisn 2 weeks ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 2 weeks ago 1

I thought you might like to see a project that I built using your API.

I had a user request to notify him of when the New Moon would fall, but on the Hebrew calendar.  I already had an app for working out the Moon phase.  I used your API to convert that information and display for this month, and next month.

Works very well.

Thank you for making the API available.  I would never have been able to do this without that.

Fix for HebCal on Android phone not always showing (Google Calendar)

Paul G 8 months ago updated 8 months ago 2

Once installed/added to Google Calendar (via Desktop), HebCal doesn't already appear to display on android mobile phones. It is (sort of) there, however it's not entirely intuitive.

On the Android Google Calendar app you need to go into Menu (the hamburger bar in the top left hand corner), Settings, if you have lots of calendars you need to click on "Show More", click on HebCal and then tick/slide the Sync button.

My top tip/request would be that the above instructions are also added to the "Download" screen on the HebCal website, as per the screenshot below.
