Tutorial: Share your iCal calendar for free

This tutorial will guide you through 3 parts to help you share your iCal calendar with others. Further more it will show how users are able to subscribe to your calendar using Mac OS X iCal. This is useful if you want to share your iCal calendar with a girl or boyfriend, your family or colleagues.

Part 1 – Setting up an account

To be able to share your calendar you will have to use something called a WebDAV server. I found a internet providing just that service. It is called iCal Exchange and is located on http://icalx.com and looks like this.

Skemahapser, iCal and ASB campusnet

Skemahapser is a online application that allows students at ASB to download or subscribe to their campus calendar. It works with iCal so that you can subscribe or download your calendar to your own calendars.

• If you subscribe, you will be able to see changes as soon as the subscription auto-updates.
• If you you choose to download your calendar to your iCal, you will have to manually download every time changes have been made to the campus-calendar. 

To use the function click here and fill in the form with your details. If you want to subscribe to your CampusNet Calendar in iCal you have to follow these instructions:

• Open iCal
• Click “Calendar>Subscribe…”
• And type/copy the following line

“webcal://it.afdelingen.dk/skemahapser/iCal.aspx?username=AB12345&stud=true”

• Where it says AB12345 fill in your CampusNet logon-id instead.
• A new window opens and you have various options. I recommend the default settings except for the “auto-refresh”, which I have set to every day. I would set this setting depending on my schedule.

I have not tried the function on outlook, though it seems to me that the possibility is offered.

I hope you will find this possibility as useful as I do. If you have a mobile that you connect to your mac, it is possible to load the calendar on to your mobile device. For help see my post “iSync your Mobil“.
