| The calendars offer an RSS feed, so you can add them to your web browser and have event info appear there. An RSS icon appears in the top left corner of each calendar...when you click on it, your web browser should give you the option of adding the feed to your bookmarks. If it doesn't, here are the direct links for the OLD server: '''BCS calendar''' - feed://calendar.bcs.rochester.edu/rssxmllink?calendar=bcs_events '''CVS calendar''' - feed://calendar.cvs.rochester.edu/rssxmllink?calendar=cvs_events {{{ The link for the NEW server is: |

| You can subscribe to the event calendar(s) from within Apple iCal and have the events automatically download into your Apple calendar. For the OLD server, to do so, go to the menu bar within Apple iCal and click on "Calendar", then "Subscribe", and enter the desired URL(s): | If you want to keep things simple and just subscribe to the calendar in it's entirety, simply use the URL below with your calendar software: |

| The calendar(s) should then appear in the window on the left, and the events in the calendar itself. {{{ For the NEW server, subscription information can be found here: https://www.brownbearsw.com/mc/URBCSCVS?CalendarName=bcscvs_events_calendar;Op=OptioniCal;Amount=Month;NavType=Absolute;Type=Block A direct URL for all calendar events that you can use to create a subscription in your calendar software is: https://www.brownbearsw.com/mc/URBCSCVS/bcscvs_events_calendar/subscribe/bcscvs_events_calendar.ics This information can be used with Google Calendar as well }}} You can also subscribe via Google Calendar. However for the OLD server, Google does not correctly identify the time zone that we are in, so the times will not appear correctly if you use the above link. To subscribe via Google Calendar, use this link instead: '''BCS/CVS calendar for Google Calendar''' - {{{http://calendar.bcs.rochester.edu/icalsubscribe/bcs_events_gc}}} You go to "add other calendar" and select "by URL" and then paste the URL listed above. {{{ For the NEW server, the time zone issue is no longer a problem. You can use the new server subscription information shown in the box above. }}} |
Please note that these subscription URLs are usable with ANY calendar software...there is no longer a need for a separate link just for Google Calendar users. |
