Schedule calls in iCal directly from AddressBook
I get an error message - "Syntax Error: Expected "given", "into", "without" or other parameter name but found "property"." - when trying to compile this script in Script Editor 2.0.

This script works great, thanks!!

Not sure why that happened for you but it worked perfectly for me in X.3.2, i'd give it another shot. If you highlight the script from the page you can use the services menu to create the script in script editor automagically. :-)

Well, it still doesn't work, but I did learn a new handy Services menu trick! Thanks! ...
Services tip

Wow! didn't know.... A thing I really enjoy on this site - I always learn something new (to me.... so I'm not as sharp as some...) and often it comes from left field relative to the tip itself... Services!! da*n!! This info will make scripts a useable reality for me. thanks.........

Replying to my own post.

It worked nicely for me. I use the Services menu to add the script to the Script Editor. I wonder if yours could be an issue with line breaks? (Note: I'm an Applescript newbie and that's just a wild guess.)

I get the same error. I'm using 10.2.6 (sadly) and haven't been able to test it on Panther. Could that be the problem? Should this hint be made a '10.3'? Or is there a minor tweak that can help it work under 10.2?

Maybe that _is_ the problem. I (the original error-reporter) am running Jaguar 10.2.8.

As the hint states: Save as a Script file in the Address book plug-in folder. I did it that way and it works perfectly. it is an amazing little script.

Have you ever tried to save a script as a Script File when you can't get it to compile? Not to sound mean or terse, but you can't. THAT is the problem. If we could get it to compile, we could save it as a Script File. As it is, we're stuck saving it as a text file.

Same here. Using 10.3.2 and the Script works flawlessly. It even adds a link back to the Address Book entry in the "url" field in the To Do. Very nice.

PS - I meant, I don't see backslashes in the script text as it appears on the web page here, but when I copied the text from Safari and pasted it into Script Editor, for some reason the quotes appeared with backslashes before them. I didn't instantly notice that. I just did a search/replace for
to and it compiled.

I made the script and installed it in the plug-in folder and it worked great. The next time I started my Mac, it wouldn't work at all. I have written new scripts and installed them in the folder, but it doesn't have any effect. When I run the script from Script Editor (not from the Address Book) it will open iCal, but that's it. Any suggestions?

I'm with you, I get the same error as if it doesn't properly understand the 'on action property' instruction. I have no \" or any entry error that I can identify. Using 10.3.2 with script editor 2.0. Heck, the on action property won't compile even when everything else is removed. |
