ICAL ID
Is there a way to get the ID for an Ical Merge? I have some calendars that I would like to be able to show, not show, or make exclusive depending on the webpage.

Re: ICAL ID
For clarification, are you looking for some id or value in our exported iCal feeds so that in some other app/site you can dynamically hide or show based on that id?

(and is the url of the iCal feed not sufficient)

If I understood your use case a little better I could probably offer a better anwer biggrin

Sorry, I did not explain that well at all.....

I have an iCal that was brought in using the "Merge iCal Calendars".

When I create a "Publish" for an embed calendar, I can set categories for what I want to see in that specific calendar. I was curious if there was a way to include the iCal as a "category" so that it can be excluded/included based on the specific need for that embedded calendar. Currently, it seems to only be included if there are no category filters applied.

Thanks, hope that makes more sense.

Re: ICAL ID
Judging from your public calendar view, I think you found it :)
If you click "Include a merged calendar legend on your public calendar" on our Premium/Merge page, it will add any merged localendar calendars and and merged iCalendar calendars to the legend.

I see at http://localendar.com/public/TOCL you have an option for "test" which is the nickname of an iCalendar feed you merged in.

If you still have any questions, please let me know.

Thank you but I was inquiring as to having the option to include it like a category.

"When I create a "Publish" for an embed calendar, I can set categories for what I want to see in that specific calendar.

Not a big deal if not, but would help out some staff that maintains an outlook calendar for some event rentals. I was wanting to embed a calendar with maybe one category and the ical, but the ical only will show if I do not use category, although the "Test" appears as an option below Example: http://localendar.com/public/TOCL?categories=100

Re: ICAL ID
aaaaahhhhhh... now I see what you mean.

So, we don't do that now sad
Right now, iCal events secretly do get mapped to a "hidden" category that is... "ical Event". This way localendar knows to handle them a little differently (like - not letting you open it in the event editor for example)

This might make it hard to map them to a second category.. I'll have to chat with one of the devs to see if this would somehow be possible.

Thank you. I appreciate your help. This has been the website calendar I have been looking for for a long time. I just never found it until now.
