A simple iCal-compatible desktop calendar

Rather than going through this process manually or by creating an applescript to do it would be to enable personal web sharing (and php), install phpicalendar (open source) and configure it to look at your ~/Library/Calendars/ directory for the calendars, and use an application such as webdesktop (freeware) to display your phpicalendar enabled iCal information.

A simple iCal-compatible desktop calendar
Authored by: RandyInLA on May 16, '04 06:12:12AM

After looking through the phpicalendar website forum, i found that you can't reference the ~/Library/Calendars directory directly. The way I found around this was to enable full access to the phpcalendar/calendars folder (teminal: "chmod 777 calendars" from within /Users/username/phpicalendar folder) and use the publish feature of iCal. when publishing from ical, use http://localhost/~username/phpicalendar/calendars/publish.php as the url and set iCal to 'auto publish.' Now, whenever I add/update something in iCal, it publishes to my phpicalendar/calendars folder which is the url chosen within webdesktop.
(note: read through phpicalendar config file and publish.php for instructions on how to turn on the WebDav emulation publish feature)
