Configuring your Mozilla Calendar program to publish iCal calendars.

Sunbird allows collaboration of events throughout your organization. This is a program that runs locally on your desktop and can publish your calendar world-wide.

iCal Hosting
Digital Indigo provides free iCal hosting to all hosting customers upon request. If you wish you add iCal hosting, please contact us.

Obtaining Mozilla Calendar
You must first obtain Mozilla Calendar (Sunbird) by going to Mozilla website at http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/.

Configuratoin
Run the Calendar application. In the upper left-hand region of the program click on the Calendars tab.

There will be a default calendar (usually called Events) in the window paine. Right-click on this calendar (and any others that are installed by default) and then chose Delete Calendar.

After all default calendars have been deleted, right-click again and choose Create New Calendar.

In the Create New Calendar dialog choose the Remote radio button. Click Next.

In the Calendar Location dialog box choose the WebDAV option. In the Location field enter http://www.yourdomainhere.com/calendars/Events.ics. Click Next.

Finally, give you calendar a name. Click Next. Finally click the Finish button.

For the final part of the setup you will have to tell Calendar to publish to your website. Do this by right-clicking on your newly created calendar in the Calendars paine. Click Publish Entire Calendar. In the Publishing URL field enter http://www.yourdomainhere.com/calendars/Events.ics.

You will be requested to enter your username and password at this time. You may wish to check the box to remember your password so you do not need to retype this information each time you change the calendar.

From now on each time you add an event to your calendar, it will automatically appear on your website.

Subscribers can enable updates on their calendar programs by subscribing to webcal://www.yourdomainhere.com/calendars/Events.ics.

To view your calendar on your domain name go to http://www.youdomainname.com/sys-php/ical
