Monolithic Collections and KOrganizer / kontakt / download
by Markus Stürmer 04 Sep '09

04 Sep '09

In principle, KOrganizer (kontact?) should be able to _subscribe_ to calendars hosted by DCS, if EnableMonolithicCalendars is enabled (default). The problem is an "exception" hacked into CalendarServer/twistedcaldav/ resource.py: Whenever a normal browser connects to an …/ <calendarname>/-URL, it does NOT get the collection as ics file, but a nicely rendered HTML page. KOrganizer's problem is that it cannot be destinguished from konqueror (in my case, it identifies itself as "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.5; Linux) KHTML/3.5.7 (like Gecko) SUSE") and therefore gets an HTML page instead of an ics file. The check is 119 if config.EnableMonolithicCalendars: [ comments, explanation, telling it's a hack ... ] 132 agent = request.headers.getHeader("user-agent") 133 if agent is not None and ( 134 agent.startswith("Mozilla/") and agent.find("Gecko") != -1 135 ): 136 renderAsHTML = True 137 else: 138 renderAsHTML = False I added a (dirty) check to evaluate a certain get request, and then disables that special handling for browsers: 134 agent.startswith("Mozilla/") and agent.find("Gecko") != -1 and not request.uri.endswith("/?ics") This way all browsers and kontact can get ics-files whenever they add "?ics" to the calendar path, e.g. https://www.example.com/calendars/doe/calendar/?ics Of course, this is not a real solution, but I think it's an acceptable workaround because it affects only a single line and does not change the behavior of the server otherwise at all. Regards, Markus

Delegation of single calendars
by Maximilian Reiß 01 Sep '09

Hi, is there any way (command line tool?) to delegate a single calendar from an account to somebody else (read or read/write)? Looking at iCal client and the command line tool I only see possibilities to delegate a whole account to somebody. Thanks, Max

Getting a stable version of Calendar Server?
by Gergely Gati 01 Sep '09

01 Sep '09

Hi, I've tried to run Calendar Server several times from my OS X 10.5 (Leopard) machine. Often I can't even get it to start but today I got as far as seeing the first page generated. (It fails when I'm trying to access the first user principal though.) I was wondering if there is a stable version available for download that is more or less reliable at least for the basic functionality? Also what timezone can I expect people to answer on the #calendarserver IRC channel? (So far I haven't had any luck.)
