Subject: [Webcalendar] vCal format export to Outlook
Message-ID: <441598B6.6030602 a t msic.dia.mil>

I'm trying to figure out how to export my WebCalendar to vCal format so 
I can import it to Outlook.

When I tried going to Admin and exporting then saving the result as a 
file named "calendar.vcs" the result of the import to Outlook said:

"Cannot Import vCalendar file:
   This error  can appear if you have attempted to save a recurring 
Lunar appointment in iCalendar format.  To avoid this error, set the 
appointment option to Gregorian instead of Lunar"


I can't seem to figure out where this setting is?  How to I do this and 
what are my options, if any?

Thank you.

Subject: [Webcalendar] Having trouble installing
Message-ID: <f5fb6600603261404s7ac2fbabyebc1cf842fc74b31 a t mail.gmail.com>

Hi everyone, looks like my first help request didn't show up on the list?

At any rate, I'm having trouble making sense out of some of the
install instructions,
I've managed to complete the following from the main install page:

1. gzip -dc webCal-version.tgz | tar xvf -
2. cd webCal*.*.*
3. Read and Edit the file install.pl, make sure all
   directory names and URL's are correct.
4. run  'perl install.pl'

I've decided to go with the apache/mod_perl setup, since I already
have it installed on the machine, and I've added the following to
httpd.conf.
#==webcal==Bgn==
#
<IfModule mod_perl.c>
  Alias /y/ /var/www/webcal/bin/
  <Location /y>
    AllowOverride All
    SetHandler perl-script
    PerlHandler Apache::Registry
    PerlSendHeader On
    PerlRequire "/var/www/webcal/bin/startup.pl"
    Options +ExecCGI
  </Location>
</IfModule>

Alias /i/ "/var/www/webcal/webcal_icons/"

<Directory "/var/www/webcal/webcal_icons">
    Options Indexes MultiViews
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>
#
#==webcal==End==

Not to be stupid, but I don't know what to do next.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Just once, I'd like it if someone called me "Sir".

Subject: [Webcalendar] my webcal modifications
Message-ID: <a422b4da0603291618o38f405b8j6e9fc289a5fb4691 a t mail.gmail.com>

Hi All,

I've developed some new features for webcal for use at my university.
Basically  it integrates PAM based authentication and local account
creation using mysql to keep it organized. I'm testing it internally
right now and so far so good.

I basically have it set up so  users can just login and autocreate
will take care of them at login. However, arbitrary users cannot
create calendars from the signup page. That is, if you're not already
in the DB, you are not allowed access, but autocreation will proceed.
We have a NIS domain here so I use the DB to isolate our dept. from
other depts. and as a source of information for the getinfo function,
addressbook  hooks are yet to be done. The DB is generated by a phone
list from my dept.I then used Perl to turn this into the SQL entries
that go with the table I defined.

I'm pretty busy right now with school so I won't be releasing this
until the end of April. I just wanted to let everyone know so maybe I
could save someone else a lot work in the meanwhile. This work is
against 2.9.3. I am also planning to make it so that virtual groups
can be treated like meeting groups for the purposes of scheduling. I
don't understand why it isn't like this to begin with. Maybe I'm just
doing it wrong. Thank you for your attention.
