Re: [backstage] BBC Google Calendars

2010-03-01 Thread Jonathan Tweed 
Hi Andy

Not sure why it's not working in Google Calendar.

That URL should update every day with the schedule for that day. There are week 
views, but unfortunately they're not available in ics:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcone/programmes/schedules/south_east/this_week/grid

I guess there's still life in the prototype yet...

Cheers
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for that, I hadn't realised. Just tried it for the URL you suggested
though and Google Calendar didn't seem to like the format.

Tried it with
http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcone/programmes/schedules/south_east.ics and it shows
in my Calendar but the calendar is called "Mon 1 Mar 2010 on BBC One South
East Details". Not quite sure what to expect to see tomorrow. David's feeds
showed the whole week ahead. It was useful for setting reminders for certain
programs.

Rgds,
Andy

You can add .ics or .json to the /programmes schedules pages nowadays,
so this prototype is now fairly redundant.

Hi Andy

No idea if Davis's feeds are still working, but this is now supported by 
/programmes. For example:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcfour/programmes/schedules.ics

I mean the BBC program guide calendars which were a prototype developed by
Davis Buxton.

Hi, 

Have just joined this list in order to find out what has happened to 
the BBC Google Calendars. They seem to have disappeared. I, for one (perhaps 
the only one!) found them very useful. Can anyone shed any light?
