Internet Calendar (iCal RFC-5545) Export

Most users will be able to import iCalendar data from connectDaily by clicking 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, the iCal export page will list those events with a user id and token for export. If you've given out the URL with the token, and you want to deny access, you can use the key icon on the iCal export page to change the export token.

Specific Application Notes

iCal is a very complex specification and it can be difficult for programs to inter-operate. We are aware of the following issues:

Apple iCal	All Versions RDATE (Specific Date Events) does not work. Versions 5.0 and lower will crash on encountering an RDATE. Versions 5.01 and higher, only the first occurrence is shown. If time zone support is enabled, the detailed event display shows one time events relative to GMT. To improve compatibility, you can set the option for "Strict Microsoft Outlook/Apple iCal Compatibility" in System \| Configuration \| Sync/Export Options.
Google Calendar	It may take up to 24 hours for changes in connectDaily to be reflected in Google Calendar. This is because Google's calendar is fed via the Google search engine. See Also: Appendix D - Importing Data From connectDaily Into Google Calendar
Microsoft Outlook	Outlook 2007 and Higher Outlook 2007 supports subscription to remote calendars. You can subscribe to a connectDaily iCal calendar feed. Please note the following: Specific date events (RDATE) is not supported by Outlook. Events with more than one ordinal set (e.g. 1st and 3rd Wednesday) will not work. When subscribing to the calendar, use the default option for refresh. If you do not use the default, Outlook will reload the calendar each time it sends/receives messages. To improve compatibility, you can set the option for "Strict Microsoft Outlook/Apple iCal Compatibility" in System \| Configuration \| Sync/Export Options.
Mozilla Lightning	No known issues.
PHPiCalendar 2.23 rc1	Specific Date events (RDATE) don't work.
Windows Calendar (Vista)	No known issues.
