For the last 14 years I've been maintaining a web schedule of the New Years Day levees held annually in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada and area on my blog, ruk.ca.
This year's version is online at:
In the early days, I maintained the data for the levees as a simple HTML table. As the list grew to include more levees than ever, and with a desire to emit the schedule data in a variety of forms, I began to maintain the schedule in an SQLite database, and to use a simple PHP script, included here, to generate derivatives:
- HTML for the web page itself.
- GeoJSON for mapping the levees.
- GeoJSON for mapping the levees for Charlottetown-area only.
- JSON+LD for embedded in the web page for Google Structured Data purposes.
- iCalendar to allow the schedule to be imported into desktop and mobile calendars.
PHP v5.x-7.x with support installed for SQLite3
For making iCalendar files, eluceo/ical
- Added a column to the SQLite table to record whether levees are "all ages" (accessible to all people) not.
- Code cleanup to support PHP 7.1.
- Generate a GeoJSON file for Charlottetown-area levees only, in addition to the one that includes all levees.
