Open Glavin001 opened 10 years ago

Potentially link up with #19 for events.

Glavin001 commented 10 years ago

Looks like we cannot support CalDAV with Node.js but maybe we can write the iCal files: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICalendar#Core_object

Closing this to discuss later.

Example iCalendar file below.

Looks like we can absolutely create an iCal Server in Node.js!

Change title from CalDAV support for Student class times to iCal Server for Users.

Glavin001 commented 10 years ago

I have forked the node-icalendar: https://github.com/Glavin001/node-icalendar I will add the missing support that we need and provide a stable source for the code to include in dependencies.

Glavin001 commented 10 years ago

See http://stevethomas.com.au/php/how-to-build-an-ical-calendar-with-php-and-mysql.html for more information about building a custom iCal server.
