Crewweb Calendar and Google Chrome
 

Has anyone figured out a way to see the Crewweb "View Schedule" calendar in Google Chrome? Is there an extension that allows chrome to use whatever system the calendar generator is using?

The only thing I have heard that can show that schedule is Microsoft Internet Explorer. I know that sucks, but in 7 years of using crewweb I have never heard of anything else working. A few months ago we were complaining about this is the crew room and someone told a story about how they had their brother who does computer work look around crewweb to see if there was a way to get "view schedule" calendar to work in things other than IE. The brother said that even though the calender looks simple it is actually very complex with lots of layers and is hard to render. He didn't really explain why IE is the only thing that seems to be able to render it though.

Thanks! I've been able to get it to work on the iphone opera mini app, which is nice for being away from my computer. I use chrome for everything on my notebook though and wanted to be sure that there weren't any obvious options that I was missing.

I forgot about opera. I never could get it to install properly on my phone (old treo) when I tried about 2 years ago or so. I have no idea what IE does that the others don't or cant. You would have thought that by now someone would have come out with something. I think its so bad that a lot of our guys that use macs use a windows emulator and run IE to be able to use the view schedule part of crewweb. Heck I still drag around the laptop I bought in Aug 2005 because 1 I don't have the money to justify buying a new laptop till that one officially dies and 2. The super old version on IE that is on it works best with crewweb and even has some functions (block in 7 time etc shows up in the status bar at bottom) that the newer versions of IE don't support.

If you find anything out put it on here and if I figure something out I'll do the same.

Maybe try the full opera browser on your laptop, I use opera for crewtrac on my mac, it is the only one that will display the calendar.
