Just released a couple of new features of interest to those who export their HappyTC schedule to Google Calendar (or other applications supporting the “iCalendar” format):
- To specify an event (game) description different than the default (which is the team name and opponent), enter a “note” for the game that starts with ‘!‘ (exclamation mark); for example, “!Tournament XYZ“. That will force the iCalendar export to use the note as the start of the event’s description and summary (so it will show up that way in Google Calendar).
- To indicate that an event spans multiple days, click the game’s “more…” link. Anywhere in the “more game notes” area type in the end date of the event as follows: “[end_date=2009-06-21]” (using date format YYYY-MM-DD). This will force Google Calendar to treat it as a multi-day event. (Normally teams attending multi-day tournaments create just one “game” in HappyTC and a note (e.g. “goes to Sunday”), or else create a “game” for each day of the event… but this makes it show up nice in an external calendar.)
Props to AnSc for the ideas.
