There's some useful information on google calendar and ical "add this" functionality here at this url:
http://drupal.org/node/384614 eg. What seemed to work for me was to use the url complete with the .ics file. So, the full url was http://www.example.com/calendar/ical/calendar.ics. I didn't add any aliases or anything, just http://domain_name/path_from_view/name_of_file. It seems that Google Calendar, as well as Outlook 2007 want the complete path to the file. I got the name of the file from the name that the file saved as when I downloaded it by following the view path. On a side note, I did find out that while using the path to the file works for Google Calendar, the items must have public permissions to show up on the calendar (as one would expect). I spent a bit of time working with it until I had my "well, duh" moment and realized that anonymous users didn't have permissions to view the events, leading to an empty calendar, even though I had it all hooked up correctly! Hope this helps some. ptw Paul Terry Walhus Web Developer, Video, Coworking Spring.net 1800 Lavaca 109G Austin, TX 78701 Spring Lodge 1191 Shiloh Road Cedar Creek, TX 78612 501-365-1001 google voice 512-699-4000 mobile 512-782-4420 skype phone 512-985-6258 home 512-551-3633 vacation condo skype walhus [email protected] [email protected] http://spring.net/ http://twitter.com/springnet subscribe to "springnert" for regular podcasts on itunes, blip.tv, youtube, vimeo, viddler, etc. On Fri, Sep 10, 2010 at 1:26 PM, Art Thompson, Jr. <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi folks, > > I have a client that is living in a fantasy world where there is a button > next to an event listing that says "Add to calendar" which magically adds > said event to the user's calendar app of choice.
