icalendar

I am attempting to create a ICalendar with a html description using the X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html: but it does not appear to support inline CSS for layout/styling is there anyway of making CSS work within an icalendar? RFC 5545 (the iCalendar specification) allows you to use HTML, but that's a different thing from the calendar clients supporting it. I suspect that you'll find it rare that any of the non-browser-based calendars will do so. As opposed to what jgm implied, the RFC5545 does not have provisions for html. The only back-door is via the ALTREP parameter (see RFC for more details )

What I am trying to achieve is in the screenshot below: It is an Outlook meeting invite, which has the To field pre-popultated with the specified names, the Send button just says 'Send' and its reminder is set to 15 minutes. I created the following ICS file and expected that it would create the required invite, but it is doing something different: the To list is blank, as is the reminder and the Send button says 'Send Update'. As this is supposed to be created from an open to the public web page with no log in, ORGANIZER cannot be set and OL is supposed to know who they are. What am I doing

The summary is that I am now implementing an event confirmation system and can't find the right format for the ICalendar replies. Therefore I wonder if there is an example out there of complete REPLY message and maybe a PHP library that would wrap it all? Now for the details, we get external emails including event invitations asking for RSVP. Here is an excerpt of the iCal file: ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=NEEDS-ACTION;RSVP=TRUE;CN="'user@company.com'":MAILTO:user@company.com ORGANIZER;CN="Organ Izer":MAILTO:organizer@company.com I couldn't find the reply standard to send the RSVP

Maybe dumb question but I'm wondering how iCal clients query a remote calendar. I've just created a little web service that generates an iCal file. This file is successfully interpreted by Google Calendar and Lightning (new Sunbird). But I'm not filtering on any range of time. I imagine that Google and Sunbird clients gives parameters to filter on dates at least. How can I know what are these parameters ? Is it part of the iCal RFC ? Can someone point me to the good direction ? When you are just 'subscribing', you're simply downloading the entire file and that's it. No filtering. However, when

I'm trying to serve an iCalendar file (.ics) in my MVC application. So far it's working fine. I have an iPhone subscribing to the URL for the calendar but now I need to serve a personalised calendar to each user. When subscribing to the calendar on the iPhone I can enter a username and password, but I don't know how to access these in my MVC app. Where can I find details of how the authentication works, and how to implement it? It turns out that Basic Authentication is what is required. I half had it working but my IIS configuration got in the way. So, simply returning a 401 response when

I have an .ics file I manually create with PHP like the following: BEGIN:VCALENDAR PRODID:-//Microsoft Corporation//Outlook 11.0 MIMEDIR//EN VERSION:2.0 METHOD:PUBLISH X-MS-OLK-FORCEINSPECTOROPEN:TRUE BEGIN:VEVENT CLASS:PUBLIC DESCRIPTION:Some description here LOCATION:Scheduled PTO DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20101104 DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20101103 PRIORITY:5 SEQUENCE:0 SUMMARY;LANGUAGE=en-us:PTO - 8.00 hour(s) X-MICROSOFT-CDO-ALLDAYEVENT:TRUE X-MICROSOFT-MSNCALENDAR-ALLDAYEVENT:TRUE END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR This works fine when importing into outlook 2007 (as well as Google calendar). In outlook 2003 I
