Modifying date range and data order in vTools.Meetings feeds (meetings and L31)

If you use XML or HTML feeds, you can easily change the date range of the retrieved meetings or L31 reports by modifying the feed URL. For example, the default XML feed for the Princeton Central New Jersey section meeeting retrieves meetings for the next 90 days:

https://meetings.vtools.ieee.org/meetings/xml/0/90/asc/1/PRINCETON~CENTRAL%20JERSEY

If you would like to retrieve a year’s worth of meetings, simply replace 90 on 365:

https://meetings.vtools.ieee.org/meetings/xml/0/365/asc/1/PRINCETON~CENTRAL%20JERSEY

If you would also like to see past meetings, change ’0′ on the number of days with a minus sign in front of the number. For example, this link will get the meetings for the past 360 days and no future meetings:

https://meetings.vtools.ieee.org/meetings/xml/-360/0/asc/1/PRINCETON~CENTRAL%20JERSEY

Same concept applies to the HTML feeds:

Meetings for the next 360 days – https://meetings.vtools.ieee.org/meetings/html/0/360/asc/1/PRINCETON~CENTRAL%20JERSEY

Meetings for the past 360 and the next 360 days – https://meetings.vtools.ieee.org/meetings/html/-360/360/asc/1/PRINCETON~CENTRAL%20JERSEY

You can also modify the data order by replacing ‘asc’ on ‘desc’. For example,

https://meetings.vtools.ieee.org/meetings/html/-360/360/desc/1/PRINCETON~CENTRAL%20JERSEY
