sereneOkay, Google darlings (and there are several of you that I count as friends), help me by putting your considerable brains to this task:
I work in a disability services office, and we have a Google calendar, which is accessible to most of our constituents, but not all.
My dream feature is a button that would generate a plain HTML version of my calendar for me to either link to or embed.
How do I make my dream feature come true? I've got the support and knowhow of the Database Admin at the Berkeley Center for Independent Living, and she has been hard-coding her accessible HTML version of their Google Calendar. There has to be a better way! Ideally, I'd like Google to implement it for everyone, but if I can't do that, is there some kind of script I can install, or magic I can do, or...?
Halp plox! And please feel free to send all your Google-savvy friends over here, as well. We need you!

Date: 2012-02-27 05:23 pm (UTC)If I right-click on my Google Calendar page, and then click "Save As", and save it as an HTML file on my desktop, and then open THAT, that doesn't "work" per se, but a line comes up while it tries to load that version that says, "For slow connections, load read-only view." If I then click that link, and save THAT as an HTML file on my desktop, that version seems to load fine and be plain markup with no special permissions required. I haven't tried having someone else load it, though. There are a couple of broken image links, though, and it still has some buttons visible, plus all the appointments are links, so I dunno if it's ideal, but it's certainly a starting point. There may be a tool you could run on it that just cleans out the broken links.
The other limitation of this is that it only does your calendar, even if you have multiple calendars loaded, as far as I can tell.
Are you doing this in Windows, or on a Mac, or in Linux, or...?
