Support a Person's calendar

[daonb]

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.

we already have this issue :
#183

also, somewhat related to this: #184

[OriHoch]

do you have some examples of mks google calendar urls?

last time I looked into it I couldn't find any...

This monday I spoke with Stav Shafir and she promised she will share her calendar, so that's one. we will have more...

The movement for freedom of information published some calendars.. but all in PDF :(

OCR anyone?

[daonb]

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 (Added scraper that gets google calendar events from mk public calendar #284)
2. write a scraping process that takes all the events from the calendar into our DB - DONE (Added scraper that gets google calendar events from mk public calendar #284)
3. show the events on oknesset

[OriHoch]

need to get the event color as well

[OriHoch]

regarding event color - it seems there is a bug in google's api, it doesn't return the color for public events..

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