iCal integration?

[bjornstrom]

We run a Macintosh-site and use the integrated calendarfunction in vBulletin 2.2.9.

Could someone create a iCal-import/export function (its XML i think) so that our members can put their calendar on our forum and vice-versa?

Read more about iCal here:

You can find a copy of our official iCal calendarfile here:
99mac.com/kalender/99mac.ics

(so that you get a notion of what is needed)

I've seen various PHP scripts that can read iCal data; if nobody replies then you can try dissecting those.

I have searched the forums for such scripts - or do you mean on some other site?

[filburt1]

Other sites.

I have searched for iCal scripts everywhere :(

Ok, i last posted 17 months ago. Still no news about a Calendar -> iCal hack?

I must truly be the only one using Macs here :)

let's not start that discussion ;)

I found this, it might help you a bit: http://phpicalendar.sourceforge.net/

Bjornstrom, you're certainly not the only Mac user here, and in fact iCalendar is an open standard for exchange of calendar data and not just for iCal on Macs.

That said, I'm also looking for a solution to publish vB calendar to an iCalendar format/file/server so my users can subscribe to it with their calendar software including iCal on Mac.

If someone was entrepreneurial, and I would have a stab at it if I had more time, they would have to write something that does a query of the vB database and puts it out as an iCalendar file. I don't think that would be too hard, but I'm certainly not an advanced programmer :cool:

Perhaps this exists somewhere but I cannot find it.

Bump again. Anyone find any solutions to adding iCal support to the vBulletin calendar?

In my case I found a solution... wordpress cms for the frontend. There is a plug-in available that gives WP a calendar that imports and exports Ical.

Waiting since April 2003 for a VB solution was just too long.
