One feature that I would find hugely useful would be the ability to view my plan in Google Calendar.

I do not know if this is possible (no idea how dynamic you can make Google Calendars) but if I could see my TriBlogs plan along with all my other calendar diary entries that would be fantastic.

Hi timc, if you become a premium member you will allow access to your training plan with the TriBlogs iCalendar interface. This can be plugged into google calendar (or other compatible calendar software/websites), see the tutorial below of how to subscribe to an iCalendar in google calendar;

timc: Works great, just one problem, is there a way to set the timezone for the calendar feed? The calendar feed is interpreted as being at GMT (presumable as there is no timezone info in the feed) whereas my Google calendar is set to GMT-8 so events show at the wrong time.

Oziem: This is a rather more complex problem than I had thought, I'm going to have to change the way people enter their local time zone. Hopefully this should be fixed by the end of the weekend.

Hi timc,

I have just added a new option for the iCalendar settings. You can now select a output timezone which should be accepted by google calendar.

timc: Fantastic, thanks a lot Dave, tried it and is working well, this will be really useful. Cheers, Tim
