Subscribing to calendars

[thezeroalpha]

I'd like to subscribe to other calendars, for example holiday calendars like this one. It also has an address in iCal format.

Is this possible, or could it be? I've found some discussion on this subject in #629, #116, and #282, but nothing definitive. There's no mention of calendar subscriptions in the documentation as far as I can tell.

I would also love this feature. I'd much rather use baikal versus nextcloud for this. This is one feature which is holding me back.

that would be a nice add-on, I have 2 calendars myself where it would be appropriate. I manually move the entries by hand in outlook and sync to baikal.

This would be an amazing addition

Since Baikal2 seems to not happen anymore, are their any plans to implement this in Baikal?

Yes please, allow it to sub remote calendars and merge them in one place.

Especially for calendars with events that vary every year this would be very useful. e.g. for school holidays

Hello – as far as I know, it's possible to download ics files since BaikalSabreDAV 1.4 (comes with Baikal 0.7) with the default ics plugin – you can test it in a browser:

https://[my-server-url]/dav.php/calendars/[username]/[calendar]/?export

seeing that I had a default calendar for this user, the address was

https://[my-server-url]/dav.php/calendars/[username]/1/?export

which needed [username]/[password] for authentification and downloads a single ics file in return.

The plugin page has further details on paging and json formats.
Once logged in, the Baikal backend features some additional links and infos on each account.

@Stolzenhain Indeed; my question is regarding other (remote) calendars, not those on my Baikal server. For example the Google calendar I linked in the issue.

Aah, sorry. Yes, I recall this being rejected as too complex on another issue. It might be possible via an external tool though that would keep tabs on both DAV APIs and update in one direction.

I am just going to hijack this issue as i would really like this feature. My current plan is twofold:

• 1. iCal import
• 2. subscription to remote calendars

This should allow for somewhat reasonable PRs.
If anyone has feedback/information on this please let me know.

Any news on this?

I have somewhat stopped working on this. Nextcloud uses the sabre backend and somehow supports this feature very well.
