I have a question regarding the webcal interface to the CPS calendar (CPS ver. 3.3.4).
The CPSCalendar has recently been deprecated for the completely rewritten and immensly improved CPSSharedCalendar. One of the things that was shaky in CPSCalendar was the iCalendar support... :)
That said, the quetions you have here actually are valid for CPSSharedCalendar as well.
I have successfully used the "subscribe to this calendar" link (with a "?disable_cookie_login__=1" added) to subscribe to my CPS calendar in my desktop calendar application. Now, I would like two-way synchronization; i.e. I want the changes I make in iCal (yes, I'm on a Mac) to be flushed to CPS, and still get all new and updated appointments from CPS. I found an application that I thought would do this – it claimed so – in iSynCal.
I haven't personally tried iCal, I don't have a mac, but others here have, and as far as I know this works out of the box, without the iSynCal software.
I have a problem, however. The iSynCal's ability to sync with an iCalendar on a DAV-/webcal-server is built up around the notion of "mounting a DAV share", searching in a specified folder of that share, and list the *.ics files available there. This seems to not work rather well with CPS...
No, you are supposed to go to the ics file directly. iSynCal seems to enable sharing of iCalendar files over a filesystem. This is not the case here.
1) Will it at all be possible to "sync back" changes made in a 3rd party desktop calendar application to the CPS calendar (or is this feature possible in a future release, or using an extension to CPS?)
Yes.
Sorry for a long post on such a marginal topic, but I find the lack of standardized calendar syncing a nuisance on a daily basis,
It is a problem, and one of the problems is that iCalendar is not a synchronization protocol, but is more a question of import/export protocol. This complicated it.
