Converts the Unimelb timetable page into an iCal file
Unimelb Timetable to iCal Extension
v1.2.0 has just been released which updates the semester break date to work properly for semester 2 2019 (see version history below for more info).
Chrome Extension that converts the University of Melbourne student timetable page into an iCalendar/.ics file, which you can then import into iCloud/Google Calendar/Outlook Calendar or any other calendar program that supports the iCal file format.
To use it: just go to the Student Portal and navigate to your timetable. A small icon will pop up in the toolbar - click that and you can probably work out the rest :)
Features:
* (NEW!) Fetches semester start/end dates automagically from the Unimelb academic calendar

* Repeats timetable for duration of semester
* Excludes repeats from the mid-semester break
* Ability to include week-long events that are labelled with the University week # (plus one for the mid-semester break)
Please report any bugs on my GitHub repo: https://github.com/nuclearpidgeon/UoM-Timetable-to-iCal
