We'd been using Andrew Darby's method and ran into this problem earlier this year. A (now ex-)colleague coded "Calibr" (https://github.com/LincolnUniLTL/calibr ) when we ran into this problem, and we've been running it since. Does depend on tidy csv though.

Wish I had checked the list this morning, as I just discovered we had the same problem. We have been using Andrew Darby's method outlined here: http://journal.code4lib.org/articles/46.

Is there by any chance someone using this method who happened to know the V2 API was being deprecated who already updated their app to V3?

If not anyone who wants to work on getting this to work tomorrow?

Subject: [CODE4LIB] Library Hours Fail

Hi All,

I know this has been covered a bit here, but I have a rather exigent conundrum, and I'm hoping to figure out the best/easiest solution.  Yesterday, the script to hour library hours (on our front page) which pulls from Google calendar stopped working ("Error at line undefined in undefined[!]" - the exclamation point is mine; it seemed like it needed one.)

Basically, the code came from a site that walked one through how to call daily hours (javascript) using Google's V2 API, but the V2 is fully deprecated (as I abruptly discovered), and I need to figure out another solution.  (I haven't been able to find similar documentation for V3's API.)

Some constraints: 1. Our IT will not support php.    We are an .NET shop with IIS servers.  2. We may not have the dough to pay for something like LibCal which seems to me the easiest solution.  3.  I'm semi-new to this "Internets/webmaster" thing, and really only know front-end coding, so a solution involving something like .NET, Python, etc. would have to have, "How to make a peanut butter sandwich," kind of documentation.

Right now, I've just manually coded our hours, which is fine until Saturday when our hours change, and I'm not here (hopefully).  I will be super grateful for insight or knowledge.

Mary.
