[CODE4LIB] Hours of Operation on Website - management tool

Hi folks, I'm hoping to find some sort of web-based app that can manage the library's hours of operations, including: * Displaying today's hours * Displaying an upcoming schedule of hours * Updatable though a GUI interface by non-techy library staff * Able to u

Re: [CODE4LIB] Hours of Operation on Website - management tool

Hi Ken, I haven't done anything with a Google Places account, but your question sort of ties together two projects of mine; one very old and one brand new. A few years back I built a javascript "open checker" to display the rather byzantine hours of the library I was working for at the time (hours

Re: [CODE4LIB] Hours of Operation on Website - management tool

Hi Ken, The solution that we're using at Ithaca College Library meets some, but not all, of your criteria. You can see the end result here . The ugly part is the back end, which is a hand-authored XML file that I create a couple times a year based on

Re: [CODE4LIB] Hours of Operation on Website - management tool

It's not free or open source and it won't update your Google Places account but we've just started using LibCal and are pretty happy with it so far. It's easy to update, has the capability for hours, events, and room scheduling, and a decent API. Joel Marchesoni Tech Support Analyst Hunter Lib

[CODE4LIB] Splitting CSV file with Python - function prematurely ending?

Hi folks, I'm currently working on a script that would automatically generate CSV files for my staff to upload into Serials Solutions to update our local holdings. There is one part of the script that seems to keep failing. The main script [1] currently creates one big CSV file which according to

Re: [CODE4LIB] Hours of Operation on Website - management tool

Ken We use calcium calendar from black bear software. It's not free - but we have been using it for some time now. It has the ability to display RSS feeds so we use that for "today's hours" on our home page. We have 12 libraries - no two have the same hours . So, each library has its own cale

Re: [CODE4LIB] Hours of Operation on Website - management tool

There is a free version of LibCal that we use at Dowling that allows room scheduling and multiple calendars. It's limited to 3 rooms, and it may be limited to three calendars as well. But, the interface is pretty easy to use, and it will output the calendars as RSS feeds that can can be customize

Re: [CODE4LIB] Hours of Operation on Website - management tool

Hi Ken, We’ve recently been working on rebuilding an application for managing our hours. It’s Ruby on Rails, not-yet-in-production, full of rough edges, and has some Stanford-specific business logic, but it’s relatively simple and (probably) works for us: https://github.com/sul-dlss/library_ho

Re: [CODE4LIB] Hours of Operation on Website - management tool

Most of the rough edges are around some of the one-time administrative actions like setting up new libraries, locations, and term schedules, although there’s also some UI improvements in our near future. FWIW, we just just 'finished' a first pass at little Rails engine around managing locatio

Re: [CODE4LIB] SFX API scaling

Hi Joe, Jonathan and a few others who have worked with the SFX API more thoroughly than I have may offer you better/different advice here. But, in my (now somewhat dated) experience, the SFX API is much slower than the end-user interface. For the end-user interface, SFX only needs to show th

This sounds remarkably similar in feature-set to the Hours module I wrote for our CMS (Silverstripe) for our recent website upgrade. We defined Academic Terms first (name, startdate, enddate), and then could associate Regular Hours (start time, end time and optional textual description for eac
