Description

Well, I just promised Alicia from the Dalhousie Association of Women & the Law that we will have something to integrate events that have been posted on my.dsu.ca into your own website by the second week of school. The first stage of this thing can be just an action which gets the group ID as a parameter and then renders a list of non-passed events for this groups, which can either be embedded into a site using an iframe tag with some really simple AJAX statements we can provide, e.g.:

<script src="http://my.dsu.ca/extern.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
...
<div id="event" onload="fetch('http://my.dsu.ca/events/list_extern/%{group_id}')"/>

The second stage would be to specify any arbitrary selector ID (as long as it belongs to the group/user, welcome privacy issues) to be exported to the external site. That way users can go to my.dsu.ca, customize their selector and then export the selector to their own website. Wouldn't that be cool? The only problem: when a user creates a selector she/he has to be aware that the selector is public, and that everyone could possibly use it and profile your personal preferences, even though the evil person my not directly know who created the selector, but still, it could be dangerous.
