Google Calendar ebay reminder

Adds Google Calendar buttons to ebay article pages

If the ebay site of your interest uses month names (not numbers) which are different from the English ones, you'll need to put in some code to translate those.

Also many timezones are still missing but can easily be put into the table in the source code.

Have fun!

PS. I am not responsible if you miss an auction because of bugs in this script! ;-)

20080204: Added user commands to Greasemonkey menu in order to choose between putting the article's URL as link into the title or as plain text into the description.

Don't worry, I think I know what you mean. I just updated the script to include a switch between the default and your suggested behaviour. Let me know if I didn't get you!

What shall i say, next try here: 

      newButton.innerHTML 
      = '<a href="http://www.google.com/calendar/event?action=TEMPLATE&text='
        + title.textContent
        + '&dates='
        + googledate
        + "/"
        + googledate
        + '&details='
        + encodeURIComponent(document.location)
        + '&location=&trp=false&sprop=&sprop=name:" target="_blank"><

Nice script, this will be one of my must-haves. But I prefer not to have the link in the subject as it does not display properly on my mobile device. My solution ist to have the article title in the events subject and the plain URL in the event description. Google calendar turns the URL into a clickable link.

For my alternative, you have to exchange the definition of newButton.innerHTML at the end of the script into:

newButton.innerHTML
= '';

Enjoy
