Currently when the list of semesters loads, it will always default to the first semester (as that's first in the list of dates on the UoM page).

It should be possible to 'guess' what semester is the next upcoming/relevant one for the user by looking at the current date and comparing it to the semester dates.

I've been alerted to the fact that Sunday events actually do exist within the University timetabling syste. Unfortunately, when they're included on the timetable page, Sunday is made the first column, which offsets the events in the iCalendar file by one day.

The solution is probably just to check on the day name in the column and offset if Sunday is the first one - I'll get around to it at some point

This extension is literally only useful to current UoM students, so the more of them that can be reached to tell them about this extension, the better.

I'm no longer a current UoM student, so spreading it out to students myself is harder now - it would be good to highlight this problem in a call-to-action on the popup page itself.

Whenever the extension popup window is re-poened, a new event listener is added for the function trigger. This results in multiple downloads when the timetable button is clicked

The toolbar/popup icon has been confirmed as not showing up on Chrome on Windows 8 on a Microsoft Surface (thanks @crozone !). I believe the issue is that the supplied icon doesn't conform to the two new image sizes required in the mainfest file: https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/browserAction#manifest .

This should be an easy fix, I will upload new exports of the logo at the appropriate sizes.

May be able to use Selenium for this:

It would also be good for the codebase if all the logic could be pulled out into testable functions.

Look like the good old 'stable API' for fetching semester dates has busted after the page layout (and URL!) have changed again: http://www.unimelb.edu.au/dates.

Dates are now stored in separate pages per year, and the HTML layout has also changes slightly.

The extension is currently hard-coded to support Semester 2 only.

New myUnimelb student portal sometimes shows student portal in embedded page which doesn't trigger page action.

Update required to activate extension and ensure functionality is maintained

Would perhaps be useful to see the changelog in the popup UI, to highlight new features/fixes

The message says "Could not find any dates on the UoM principle dates pages. Please enter dates manually below"

Thanks!

At the moment, the semester break has to be hard-coded for each semester. It would be awesome if the break could be configured as part of the UI.

It would be useful to include in this some kind of 'week visualiser' to show where the plugin ends up placing the week numbers and the break.
