Link in external calendar

[d.tamm]

Hi. I am using several calendars, some are in my eGW, but I have even other (read only) calendars from the internet which I need to display and update. In Thunderbird, it is no problem to subscribe to different sources, but my PDA and mobile phones are syncing via SyncML (Funambol) where I can have only one source (please correct me if I’m wrong!).

So my question is whether I can link in (subscribe to read-only) such external calendars (supposed to be in iCal format), in a similar way I can display them in Google calendar, and this way make them available for synchronisation via SyncML?
If there is no one having solved a similar problem, I am planning to write my own cron script which will fetch the external calendars and put them in a dedicated user’s or resource’s calendar in eGW each night (by directly manipulating the corresponding table in the underlying eGW database).

Thanks!

Hi,

There’s currently no possibility to subscribe to iCal calendars. It’s on my longterm todo list, as I want to replace eg. our current holiday system with it.

I strongly advise against manipulating EGroupware DB tables directly. You will be stuck with the version you coded it for. Much easier and more portable between versions would be to use a CalDAV PUT request to create the events.

The modern datacenter depends on network connectivity to access resources
and provide services. The best practices for maximizing a physical server’s
connectivity to a physical network are well understood - see how these
rules translate into the virtual world?
