Hi. I was looking for a way to be able to add custom fields to my google calendar. In particular, I'm working on a "lab booking" type application, and there are other fields that are required like who the lab is booked by, or what machines they are booking that I would like to appear right in the calendar. Since it doesn't look like there is a way to add fields, I tried to do it via the "description" field by placing various fields on different lines, but I ran into several problems:
1) the font of the description field is not monospace, so the entries don't like up 2) I tried to use basic html constructs like this: <b>Machines:</b> machine list ... bolding the "field" names to make them stand out, but they got filtered out. Finally, I at least arranged the various fields, one on each line like this: machines: machine1, machine2, machine3 booked by: person1, person2 . It doesn't look great, but at least the information is there. However, when I do this, and a user clicks on the field in the web based HTML iframe, google calendar squishes all the information on one line and gets rid of the CRs: machines: machine1, machine2, machine3booked by: person1, person2 argh! I could link to a web server that stores details, and MAYBE the description would allow a link (haven't tried it), but then I would have to maintain the data in two separate places, and I want to be able to maintain the data in the booking calendar long after it is removed from the system... (so you can look back and see who booked what lab). Google Calendar seems really great... I can't believe that I would be the only one looking for this type of functionality. Thanks for any help. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Calendar Data API" group.
