CalagatorImportFormats
Documents formats that Calagator can import.
Linked as a help page by http://calagator.org/sources/new. Updated 2008.09.20
Calagator can import calendars or events (including their venues) from feeds or web pages that include microformats for the calendar/event.
Calagator can read these microformats:
including variants used by Google Calendar, Upcoming, and MeetUp.
Our wiki has instructions and simple examples for using hCalendar. For more examples, click on any event in Calagator, and then click Get hCalendar markup. (The examples are simplified versions of the Calagator events.)
hCalendar is an simple, open, distributed calendaring and events format, based on the iCalendar standard RFC2445, suitable for embedding in HTML or XHTML, Atom, RSS, and arbitrary XML.
Here is a sample event including hcal markup:
<div class="vevent">
<a class="url" href="http://www.web2con.com/">http://www.web2con.com/</a>
<span class="summary">Web 2.0 Conference</span>:
<abbr class="dtstart" title="2007-10-05">October 5</abbr>-
<abbr class="dtend" title="2007-10-20">19</abbr>,
at the <span class="location">Argent Hotel, San Francisco, CA</span>
</div>
iCalendar is an older format that is not embedded in HTML etc. Here is the ical code for the same event:
BEGIN:VCALENDAR
PRODID:-//XYZproduct//EN
VERSION:2.0
BEGIN:VEVENT
URL:http://www.web2con.com/
DTSTART:20071005
DTEND:20071020
SUMMARY:Web 2.0 Conference
LOCATION:Argent Hotel\, San Francisco\, CA
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR
The import URL must be one of: http, https, or webcal.
To simplify importing, you can use the Calagator bookmarklet. On Import Events drag the "Add to Calagator" link to the Bookmarks Toolbar of your browser.
Then, to import a calendar or event, navigate to the calendar or event in your browser and click on the Bookmarklet.
