CalDAV calendar server
Note: This feature is only available in version 3.6 professional or higher.
With the CalDAV calendar server built in you can connect to the Group-Office calendars with other clients. Only writable calendars can be added with CalDAV. To add a calendar you must first determine your baseURI. Ideally your webserver is configured with an alias:
Alias /caldav /path/to/go/modules/caldav/calendar.php
In that case the base URI to your CalDAV server is:
http(s)://your.url.to.groupoffice/caldav/
Otherwise it's this:
http(s)://your.url.to.groupoffice/modules/caldav/calendar.php/
The CalDAV feature is based on SabreDAV. You can find more information about clients on that page too.
The Apple iCal client
Connecting with iCal:
- Go to preferences in the iCal menu
- Go to the Accounts tab
- Press the + button to add a new account
- Select 'CalDAV server' for account type
- Enter your username, password
- For server address, enter the full <baseURI>/principals/<your.groupoffice.username>/. Do NOT forget the trailing slash!
The Evolution CalDAV client
Connecting with Evolution:
- Find your calendar URL at: <baseURI>/calendars/
Select your username and then find your calendar.
Eg. for John Smith: <baseURI>/calendars/jsmith/smith-john-1/
- Connecting to a CalDAV server is done through the "New > Create new calendar" dialog. In this dialog it is possible to specify a CalDAV location. (Replace http(s) with caldav)
To setup TODO lists through Evolution works the exact same (select New tasklist instead of calendar).
Thunderbird with the lightning plugin
- Find your calendar URL at: <baseURI>/calendars/
Select your username and then find your calendar.
Eg. for John Smith: <baseURI>/calendars/jsmith/smith-john-1/
- In the main menu go to: File -> New -> Calendar
- Select "On the network" in the dialog that pops up
- Enter the URL you found in the first step
