Hello!

Has anyone integrated the “invititations” (kallelser) from svenskalag.se into their Magic Mirror? (Svenskalag is a site for keeping track of your kids’ football trainings & matches, etc.)

They do provide a calendar export function, but it will show you every training by every team in the club, making it useless. I want to see just my kids’ trainings, and just the ones they will actually attend.

I am pondering creating a simple scraping thingie that will in the end produce an .ics , which will be consumed by the Calendar Module.

Thoughts on this?

@Henrik you might be able to use the excludedEvents:property to remove all the other

also, if you pull down the ics , it is just a text file… so this might make cleaning easier

curl -sL the_cal_url >somefile.txt

then u can look at filtering out events

they start with
BEGIN:VEVENT
…
and end
END:VEVENT

final file needs a BEGIN:VCALENDAR/END:VCALENDAR around the VEVENTs

@sdetweil Thanks, however that file does not contain info on how we have responded to the invitations! (e.g., are we attending the training/match in question?)

I’ll have to do the scraping, I believe.

I have now had time to wrap this up! It’s not a MM module, but a combination of shell and python scripts that in the end produce ics files, that are then consumed by the Calendar module. Works like a charm so far.

In case this’d be useful to anyone else, just ping me and I’ll share the details.

@Henrik nice work
