What you need to do is select the calendar in Sunbird, go to Tools > Subscribe to Remote Calendar and then put the .ics URL you got from the "Open in iCal" link into the "location" field. Note that Sunbird's definition of "subscribe" is much different than Apple's iCal.app definition. Sunbird performs a simple sync with the server, attempting to preserve events from both sources. iCal.app assumes that subscription reads from the remote source and obliterates local changes. SchoolTool was designed with Sunbird's model in mind. --Tom _______________________________________________ Schooltool mailing list [email protected] http://lists.schooltool.org/mailman/listinfo/schooltool
