[Phpgroupware-developers] real time iCal export support for phpGW calendar

[Dave Hall]

Hi all,

After playing with mozilla calendar ( see
http://mozilla.org/projects/calendar ) I decided to see if I could get
phpGW events showing in mozCal.  After some playing and experimentation,
I got it working on the 16 branch calendar.

It is a read only realtime export script.  There is documentation in the
script.  See /path/to/phpgroupware/calendar/ical.php or the bottom of
this email.

The functionality is disabled by default, as it has not been thoroughly
tested.  It does work, I have tried it on several installs.  It does
have some scaling issues, so leave the prev and adv values at the
defaults, unless you want to see apache spiral.

You can see the results at http://phpgroupware.org/images/mozCal.png (~70k)

Have fun, feedback welcome.

Cheers

Dave Hall

Here are the basic docs:

Configuration
        * Change only the following 6 lines

        * login 
           - the login you want to use for the iCal script to establish
             a session
           - make sure the user exists and has access to NO apps! this
             user just establishes a session

        * passwd 
           - change this password to match what you have setup 
             for this account

        * domain
           - change this if you want to only allow access to 
             this script from a single domain for single domains 
             and hostname based domain detection leave as is.

        * prev & adv
           - change these at your own risk

        * exit; 
           comment this line below (so it reads //exit;) 
           to enable this script

If you don't understand these instructions, you should not use this script

Usage
        * Call this script using a url similar to
https://phpgw_user:address@hidden/phpgroupware/calendar/ical.php
        * As the password is sent in the url, 
          it should only be run using HTTPS
