VCU Schedule - Download/Import to Outlook/iPhone/Blackberry

[xjohnx]

I went ahead and created a downloadable copy of the MBB schedule so that you can import to your Outlook Calendar, iCalendar (Mac users), iPhones or BlackBerry.

BlackBerry users - if you want to attempt to add this directly to your calendar from your hand-held device, try the following link:

I have not had a chance to try the blackberry mobile version yet, so if anyone is able to test that out and report back whether or not it works I would appreciate it.

Thanks John! The MBB schedule imported nicely. Is this set up to remind me (chime) on game day? I rarely look at my calendar in Outlook unless I schedule pop up reminders.

There are no reminders set currently. I'll fix that and reupload it momentarily. Also, I'll be updating it as actual game times are released adn dates are changed for TV.

Sun of a gun I just did this manually last night.

Would it work with a Palm?

Follow the steps and it will dump everything into your calendar.

1. Download the ICS file to your PC
2. Edit the ICS file using a text editor and add METHOD:REQUEST (or replace METHODUBLISH with METHOD:REQUEST)
3. Forward the modified ICS file to your blackberry.
4. Success!

I'm stuck on Step 2...any advice?

The easiest way that I have found to import these to a blackberry is simply import them into the copy of outlook that their blackberry is configured to sync with, then it will be sent over the air from your PC to RIM to your Blackberry

Open the .ics file with notepad (right click the file, left click "Open With", scroll down about half way under "Other Programs", select notepad, make sure "Always use the selected program to open this type of file" is NOT selected).

The 'METHODUBLISH' line is near the top; replace 'PUBLISH' with 'REQUEST'.

Email the file to your blackberry email.

This way you can avoid setting up outlook sync if you don't already have it ready to go....
