If you have installed software that acts as a handler for the webcal protocol, you should be able to click on the webcal link. This should open your calendar software and create a remote calendar link.
If you do not have a webcal protocol handler installed (it does nothing when you click on the link), copy the http:// link onto the clipboard and paste it into your calendar software.
If your calendar requires a login or the calendar you want to subscribe to is not publicly visible, you can still subscribe to the iCal data from other programs. To do this, add ?username=youruser&password=yourpassword to the URL. For example:
https://www.mhsoftware.com/caldemo/iCal/calendar_id/22.ics?username=demo&password=demo
If you're doing this, you should use SSL for your request. In other words the URL should start with https://.
Parameter Name |

The default behavior is to export future events, and those that happened within the last 30 days. If you want all events regardless of date, add "include_past=1" as a URL argument. |

iCal is a very complex specification and it can be difficult for programs to inter-operate. We are aware of the following issues:
Windows Calendar (Vista) |
No known issues. |
Evolution (2.8.2) |
Specific Date (RDATE) events do not work. |
Apple iCal |
All Versions (2.0-6.0)
Version 3.06
Version 2.05
|
Google Calendar |
It may take up to 24 hours for changes in Connect Daily to be reflected in Google Calendar. This is because Google Calendar infrequently checks for updates. See Also: Appendix D - Importing Data From Connect Daily Into Google Calendar |
KOrganizer (4.1.0) |
KOrganizer 3.x doesn't handle time zones correctly. Unless all events are in the same time zone, times will be wrong. This is certain to happen because Connect Daily exports one time events in GMT. Versions 3.5.7 and later will handle one time zone and GMT correctly, but not two time zones and GMT. As a general note, KOrganizer converts times for recurring events into GMT and stores them. This can cause problems with recurring event calculations. |
Microsoft Outlook |
There are two methods of importing events into Outlook. Double-clicking on an individual ICS file or using the import screen. If you double click on an ICS file, or URL for an ICS file, then only one event from that file will be imported and most forms of recurrence won't work. If you use the Import screen to import an ICS file, then things will work pretty smoothly. |
Microsoft Outlook 2007 |
Outlook 2007 supports subscription to remote calendars. You can subscribe to a Connect Daily iCal calendar feed. Please note the following:
|
Mozilla Lightining 1.9 |
No known issues. |
PHPiCalendar 2.23 rc1 |
Specific Date events (RDATE) don't work. |
