Hi! Does caldavd allow the publishing of a calendar in a read-only form? That is, I would like create a specialized calendar which only me and a group of people are allowed to edit but "the world" may view/access it in a read-only manner, provided they posses the public calendar URL. Thanks, Razvan

Unfortunately this is not directly supported by our authorization model. One option would be to have your authors use CalDAV to view / make changes, and also export the calendar (perhaps in an automated / periodic fashion using our calendarserver_export tool) for publication via http. Clients could then use the subscription feature to view the calendar read-only, without the need for a CalDAV account. -dre
I have an AppleScript that I wrote for someone else that will copy events from a calendar into a local, publishable calendar. You can modify it to look for certain events if you like. I'll be happy to supply a copy of the applescript if you'd like to see it. --Jason --- Jason Miller Creative Director jmiller@red-abstract.com m. 256.694.3616 3409 Panorama Dr. SE Huntsville, AL 35802 http://www.red-abstract.com On Jul 21, 2011, at 2:00 PM, Andre LaBranche wrote:

Hi, Jason! I'm running caldavd on a Linux system so I don't think that will do. I could do a script myself, I was wondering about its features. Răzvan
Ah, okie :) Good enough. --Jason On Jul 21, 2011, at 2:16 PM, Razvan Deaconescu wrote:

That is all accurate, of course, but feel free to file an enhancement request on our trac (and attach patches!) if you want something more automated or integrated with the server. -glyph

Thanks, Andre, for pointing out the calendarserver_export tool. I'll focus on that and see how well that works.

I'll ponder about what I would actually like to have and submit an enhancement request on Trac. Razvan

As mentioned above, I would like to create a calendar that is editable (share) by multiple users. Could you please point me to some documentation around this topic? I've browsed the wiki and the doc/ folder in the source files but found no information. As a side question, is it possible to create a dictionary that is not directly connected to a single given user? For example, when using some sort of directory service, the user authenticates to his/her calendar. Do I have to create a user account (in a directory service) to allow the generation of a new calendar? Razvan
