Orage might be suitable... It's an Xfce app. I like it because the
files are plain text so I can easily edit them to suit myself. 

It imports / exports iCal files so I imagine that it should talk to
CalDAV (iirc iCal  CalDAV are the same format?). 

It runs from the notification area, lists daily events, tasks,
appointments etc ... 

It also works well in Unity  Gnome2 when I've switched out of Xfce.

Refer to the Import / Export section in the docs for synchronising via
Firefox

2012-03-22 Thread Kyle

 Not sure this will fit exactly what you're looking for but;

I use Thunderbird with Lightning plugin to CalDAV to a Zimbra server 
(which I run).


I then have a calDAV client for the Android to read/write to the calendar.


Kind Regards

Kyle

No it doesn't act as a CalDAV client.  If you export from a CalDAV
server in ics format it can read the file and display it; but there's
no automatic synchronisation from changes made in orage to changes in
the calendar, or vice versa.

I just installed it -- it seems mostly to be an MUA, not a calendar.
And I couldn't get it either to sync with my PalmOS PDA, nor see the
CalDAV server (seems not to want to connect via ipv6? or some other problem.)


So I'm still looking for a way to import from calDAV to Palm, and vice versa.

[SLUG] QD HTML server address

2012-03-22 Thread Edwin Humphries

G'day all,

I'm not a programmer (I'm barely a Linux user) but I have a web server 
that I need to make a quick and dirty change to.


It's a web-server to manage Internet Access for selected itinerant 
users, and this part of it works fine. However, I'd like to provide a 
link from the web interface to webmin running on the same server. Of 
course, webmin uses HTTPS, not HTTP, and port 1000, and I could just 
hard code the IP address into the HTML, but the IP address of the 
network interface being used for this purpose (eth0) is going to change 
from location to location, and I'd rather not have to make ad hoc 
changes to the code on installation..


Is there a simple was that I can do this? (Apache runs custom code 
written in PHP, but not by me)

A href=https://?php echo $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR']?/admin:1000admin 
page/a

might work
you may want to try HTTP_HOST perhaps
see http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.server.php for more info
