New FTB Feature: Calendar Subscriptions! (Destiny)

by Beorn @, <End of Failed Timeline>, Friday, September 22, 2017, 13:29 (2435 days ago)

Hey howdy hey!

There's a new feature on the DBO Fireteam Builder: Calendar subscriptions for your favorite calendar app!

If you're logged-in, on the bottom of the FTB Index Page, you'll find a new set of links for subscribing to your own personal FTB calendar. If you add the URL as a new calendar subscription in your favorite calendar app, it should always reflect the events that you're currently RSVP'd to! Events are delivered in the time zone that you have configured on your profile page, and list all of the other players that are currently RSVP'd along with a link back to the FTB page for the event.

There is a default 15-minute alarm on all events, but you should be able to turn that off in your application or by appending ?noalarm to the end of your personalized URL.

Thanks to Ragashingo, Xenos, and ZackDark for helping me get this rolling. Things appear to work splendidly on iOS/Mac, but I'm less certain about Windows/Android. If you have issues, please let me know about them here.

Follow-up: If you don't see a personalized link, check this forum post.

Android work-arounds

If you click the Android link in the description instead of copying it, it should download an ICS file of your current (entire) FTB schedule. Android recognizes this file and will promptly suggest adding the events to your Calendar app. Subscribing (for automatic updates on your FTB schedule) appears to either take a 3rd-party app or use Google Calendar on your browser.

You probably need to force reload, but just in case, it's down below the events in the FTB list.

    I need to fix this, but just toggle one of the FTB platform filters from the main forum page. That will set up your FTB profile in the system and generate a code for you. Should work after that.

    I'm going to try to use this as my "change your status to 'appear online'" alarm.
