Event calendar now up and running

After a few trials and tribulations involving sending data from the calendar through Yahoo's website for processing and back to our Calendar web page the processing of event information now works. What was the problem? Well...in order to display the map of events it was necessary to extract the address information and encode that in a form for Google maps. Bizarrely, however, Google doesn't do that, but Yahoo does - through its data 'pipes' system. The data gets fed back to Google maps automatically allwing the bat indicators on the map to plot all the events that have sufficient information in them for Yahoo to pinpoint the location.

It's all very cunning and not a little mind boggling. But, hey, it works...

At the top of the page is a link to a form with which you can submit your event. It has to go past my eyes first however in order to avoid nonsense entries etc.
