OLCR & iCalendar

Note - This feature is only available on Server2 ie the "Or Here" link

This new feature of OLCR allows you to link your calendar application though to your class timetable.
We do not offer support on the use of this feature as there are many different calendar applications.
We can not guaranty that your calendar application will correctly import the OLCR timetable. As such you should check with the normal OLCR timetable web pages to check that it is correct. Where differences exist the OLCR timetable web page is the correct information.

Warning if you Import OLCR calendar data into your calendar program it will not automatically update when your timetable changes on OLCR. You will need to update your calendar program manually.

If you Subscribe to the OLCR calendar your application will update itself with your latest OLCR timetable every now and then depending on your calendar applications settings.

What follow is a list of applications and comments related to OLCR.

There are addons that do this.
The RemoteCalendar Addon is one, however it does not support https calendar addresses and hence does not work.

ICalendar files created by OLCR conform to the iCalendar standard as validated by the iCalendar Validator. Unfortunatly several applications do not fully or correctly conform to the standard.
