Using ~~a few scripts on~~ the ~~EVE University server, E~~-~~UNI has~~ the ~~corporation~~ calendar ~~feed published as an iCalendar feed~~, ~~which is usable on a number of other applications and systems~~

== Using the In-Game Calendar ==

For the purposes of this page, "event" means ''any'' calendar event, including classes, Q&As, fleets, corp events, etc.

~~Members may then add the feeds to their normal calendar software, phones~~ and ~~PDAs to help them track what events and classes are running.~~

=== Adding and Editing Events ===

~~Note that 'Classified'~~ events ~~do not show any information about the event, only its existence. In this case,~~ members ~~should check the forums for full information on the event~~.

The ability to add and edit events is open to members with [[Sophomore]] status or above.

To add corp and alliance events to the calendar, just add them as you would for your personal calendar, but select the "Corp" or "Alliance" radio buttons. Once an event is assigned to Personal, Corp, or Alliance calendars, the group cannot be reassigned and must be recreated if necessary.

== Using the Calendar ==

Some points of note:

* The calendar can be edited both in-game and on EVE Gate.

** After an event starts, it is not possible to make edits.

** The calendar editing role also allows you to edit and post Corporation and Alliance bulletins. These shouldn't be messed with!

* Classes and most kinds of events should be scheduled as Alliance. This allows all members of IVY, including HALL, to see events in-game.

** Marking an event as "Important" will flag it as '''classified''' in the calendar feed. ''This should be used for any event that is not open to people outside IVY.''

* Ensure you include the URL to any relevant forum posts.

** You can't create clickable links in the calendar UI directly, but you can paste HTML code or drag and drop links from almost everywhere else. (eg. Notepad or Evemail)

* Don't spam the calendar.

** If the same event occurs more than once in a day, create one event per timeslot.

** If an event lasts multiple days, try creating short milestones at 00:00 as appropriate.

** Please be very sparing about making durations longer than 12 hours.

=== Removing Events ===

* After an event starts, it is not possible to make in-game edits.

* If an event is cancelled, communicate this to members by changing the title's prefix to: [CANCELLED]

** Do not just delete events!

* After an event appears on the web calendar, it will ''not'' disappear or be renamed to reflect [CANCELLED].

** Management is not able to manually edit or remove events from the Google Calendar feed. (Due to how the iCal protocol synchronizes from the API.)

== Using the E-UNI Web Calendar ==

Using a few scripts on the EVE University server, E-UNI has the corporation calendar feed published as an iCalendar feed, which is usable on a number of other applications and systems. Members may then add the feeds to their normal calendar software, phones and PDAs to help them track what events and classes are running.

Note that 'Classified' events do not reveal any details about themselves, only a date/time existence. In these cases, members should check the in-game calendar, EVE Gate, and the forums for full information on the event.

=== Adding to Google Calendar ===

Line 45:

Line 71:

# Back in the calendar panel: Next to your every-day calendar check the E-UNI calendar which should have appeared under "other calendars"

# Both calendars are then shown next to other. By clicking on the left arrow in the E-UNI calendar tab you get an overlay view with your every-day calender.

~~== Adding and Editing Events ==~~

~~The ability to add and edit events is open to members with [[Sophomore]] status or above.~~

~~To add corp and alliance events to the calendar, just add them as you would for your own event, but select the "Corp" or "Alliance" radio buttons.~~

~~Some points of note:~~

* The calendar can be edited both in-game and on EVE Gate.

* After an event starts, it is not possible to make edits.

* Classes and events should be scheduled as Alliance events. This allows all members of IVY, including HALL, to see events in-game.

* Marking an event as "Important" will flag it as 'classified' in the calendar feed. '''This should be used for any event that is not open to non-IVY members.'''

* You can't create links in event descriptions directly, but you can drag and drop links from almost everywhere else.

* Ensure you include the URL to any relevant forum posts.

* If the same event occurs more than once in a day, create one event per timeslot.

* However, don't spam the calendar or you'll find yourself in trouble.

* The calendar editing role also allows you to edit and post Corporation and Alliance bulletins. These shouldn't be messed with!

~~== Removing Events ==~~

* After an event starts, it is not possible to make edits.

* If an event is cancelled, change the entire title exactly to: [CANCELLED] and it will disappear from the feed. '''Do not just delete events!'''

* It is not feasible to manually delete events from the Google Calendar feed. If they do not disappear through the automatic method stated above, management is not able to remove events manually. (It is due to how the iCal protocol synchronizes from the API.)
