The "PDA" events page on the BOF website is to my knowledge the best starting point for a list of all future events: http://www.britishorienteering.org.uk/e ... ry_pda.php. The page provides some simple filtering and can be useful when compiling event lists for newsletters, etc. However the list cannot be filtered on dates and there are some errors on the page - particularly the Venue link doesn't go anywhere. I think by design it is supposed to go to the event details page.
I am currently experimenting with using the PDA listing to drive an improved event listing service. This is very much work in progress and not up to much scrutiny but I would be interested in the opinions and advice of others. My experiment is currently at the stage where a URL can be constructed to filter the PDA page. As an example, this URL
- Code: Select all
http://www.closefitsoftware.com/events/?days=90&myclub=SOC&myassociation=SCOA&bassociations=SWOA,SEOA,WMOA,EMOA,EAOA&cclubs=SLOW,GO&dclubs=WIM,SO,SN,WSX,SARUM
In the process of filtering the page, the links in the Venue column now do go to the Event Details page on the BOF website.
It would be good to know if this idea is worth pursuing. Please note that there is no error checking yet and the page does not display correctly on some devices. Feel free to take the URL and adjust it to suit your own purposes. Feedback very welcome!
