Publishing a calendar I am looking to find out how to publish a calendar to a website AND have others subscribe to the calendar. The trick is many of the folks, who will subscribe, are Apple iCal users. I believe descriptions of events created in localendar will not translate properly in the iCal format because iCal does not recognize rich text/html format. Is that correct? If so, how am I able to publish to a website, which can read the rich text/html format and to allow those who use iCal the ability to see these events. Thank you for your time |

Re: Publishing a calendar The publishing part is easy... You can click the Publish button on the left menu to generate the HTML to your site, or you can just give out your calendar's public url: http://www.localendar.com/public/Barcelona_AZ04Boys (see also: http://www.localendar.com/docs/display/lc/Publishing+a+Calendar) At the bottom of your calendar is a url for your calendar in iCal format, which your Apple subscribers should be able to use. Or, you can also just give out your calendar's public iCal address: http://www.localendar.com/public/Barcelona_AZ04Boys.ics ---------------------------------------- Marc Higgins Support Associate, localendar.com Follow us on Twitter! http://www.twitter.com/localendar_news |

Re: Publishing a calendar Marc, Thank you for the response. Since I have an iPhone I tried the iCal address instead of the calendar's public url. Unfortunately, I get the same results. The results are that while I get the correct date and time, the notes section of the apple calendar, which should be the localendar, event description displays a <br/> (when I have nothing typed in the event description.) I believe <br/> is html code that the iCal application cannot interpret. I was expecting to see nothing. Hence, my question to you....I am probably missing something basic. I am just trying to have the event description employ straight text so that the apple products can read it without the <br/>. Thoughts? thank you. |

Re: Publishing a calendar Empty descriptions should not contain the <br/>. That looks like a bug that I'll report immediately. Edit: Looks like a fix will go in tonight's push for that ---------------------------------------- Marc Higgins Support Associate, localendar.com Follow us on Twitter! http://www.twitter.com/localendar_news |

Re: Publishing a calendar Marc, Thanks for this...your fix to remove the <br/> appears to have worked. One more thing to look at. One of the event descriptions I recently had included the following, "The address of Westminster HS is 14325 Goldenwest St, Westminster, CA. It is $5 to park at this location. Please arrive at 10AM" The way the notes came out on my apple calendar and iPhone was as follows, "<p>The address of Westminster HS is 14325 Goldenwest St, Westminster, CA. It is $5 to park at this location. Please arrive at 10AM</p>" The notes appear the same way regardless of whether I use the URL calendar subscription or the .ics calendar subscription. What do I have to do in order for the HTML tags to not display in my apple calendar or iPhone? Thanks |

Re: Publishing a calendar We've made a small change to the way we export descriptions for iCal - let me know if it helps. It would also be great to know the date/title of the event you reference on your calendar so we could test it for you ---------------------------------------- Marc Higgins Support Associate, localendar.com Follow us on Twitter! http://www.twitter.com/localendar_news |
