Each Amahi server has a calendar server in it. With it, client sofware (like Outlook, iCal, Sunbird, Thunderbird or Chandler) can publish and also subscribe to calendars published in your HDA.
To publish or subscribe to a calendar in this server, you need four things:
- A client calendar program (see below),
- The publishing location or URL, which is:
http://calendar/
, and - The calendar name of your choice, typically Home, John, etc.
In addition, you can also install a "client" application to browse calendars in your HDA, like iCalendar
Calendars can be created with widely available clients such as:
- Apple iCal, for Mac OS X.
- Mozilla Sunbird, for multiple platforms.
- Windows Calendar, for Windows Vista.
- ... and many others.
Technically, the HDA has a WebDAV server, commonly used for sharing online calendars and other files.
IMPORTANT: Only one calendar publisher is supported per calendar.
Note: some clients may require that the name have the ical extension, e.g. Home.ics; you may need to experiment.
Outlook synchronization support!
Publishing URL
The publishing URL for the calendar is http://calendar/<CalendarName> . If that fails to work, try http://calendar.yourdomain.com/.
The <CalendarName> part maybe Home, or Home.ics (try this last one first).
Some clients, notably Sunbird, require that the name of the calendar have the ical extension (which is .ics), e.g. Home.ics. You may need to experiment with this until it works. If you calendar client asks for a username and password, use your normal login details. Please add your experiences in this page.
Names with spaces are supported.
Accessing the Calendar
The url for accessing the calendar selection page in your HDA is under Setup -> Settings -> Calendars or:
http://hda/setup?sub=calendars&tab=setting
We have one application called iCalendar that needs to be installed if you want to browse calendars in your hda via a web interface. Please note that this app is a read only client. It cannot create calendar entries.
The url for accessing the calendar is
http://icalendar
The url for setting the calendar preferences page is
http://icalendar/preferences.php
Calendar Clients
Calendars can be created with widely available clients such as:
- Apple iCal, for Mac OS X:
- Mozilla Sunbird and Lightning (a perfect calendar companion for Thunderbird), for Windows, Mac and Linux.
- Windows Calendar, for Windows Vista.
- Evolution, for Linux
For configuring Evolution to use your HDA, you may be interested by this post.
- Kontact, for Linux
- ... and some others.
