Support a Person's calendar #279

Open daonb opened 9 years ago

daonb commented 9 years ago

Folliwng discussion with Tomer Avital, we want to offer the MKs the ability to publish their shared calendar in Open Knesset. We can assume the MKs are using google calendar and the URL of the calendar will be entered through the admin interface. We need to store the URL and display the calender on the MKs page.

The movement for freedom of information published some calendars.. but all in PDF :( http://www.meida.org.il/?p=5028 OCR anyone?

daonb commented 9 years ago

No need for OCR. We scheduled a meeting in the Knesset on the 10/12 to train MKs on how to publish their calendars using google.

I'm working on it - this is the plan:

  1. Add an option to add the calendar URL for an MK - DONE (#284)
  2. write a scraping process that takes all the events from the calendar into our DB - DONE (#284)
  3. show the events on oknesset
OriHoch commented 9 years ago

need to get the event color as well

OriHoch commented 9 years ago

regarding event color - it seems there is a bug in google's api, it doesn't return the color for public events.. https://code.google.com/a/google.com/p/apps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=3684

Looks like google do not consider this as a bug. So, I suggest not relying on event colors at the moment.
