Send iCal alarms to other people's email addresses
Authored by: Michaelangelo on Mar 04, '05 08:45:45PM

That would be fine if you only send ical alarms to one person, in which case having one more e-mail address in your own listing isn't really a problem.

Send iCal alarms to other people's email addresses

actually you can drag and drop .ics onto Textwrangler to do your edit.

also to Note.

The last event you entered is always at the bottom of the file. which would make a script much easier to do. by being able to count the lines up from the bottom of the file END:VCALENDAR and editing your ATENDEE line

BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20050302T030000
SUMMARY:next1
UID:57274C9C-8D1A-11D9-81E3-000D93316118
SEQUENCE:1
DTSTAMP:20050305T020032Z
DURATION:PT1H
BEGIN:VALARM
ACTION:EMAIL
SUMMARY:Alarm notification
TRIGGER:-PT1M
ATTENDEE:mailto:memate@markG5
DESCRIPTION:This is an event reminder
END:VALARM
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR 

You would also have to make sure iCal is quit before the edit takes place. I tested the edit and it works.

If you then open iCal and toggle the email or play with the event it will reset. just selecting the event did not change it back

I also created an event without an alarm, close ical and opened the file in textwrangler. Inserted

BEGIN:VALARM
ACTION:EMAIL
SUMMARY:Alarm notification
TRIGGER:-PT1M
ATTENDEE:mailto:memate@markG5
DESCRIPTION:This is an event reminder
END:VALARM 

between

DURATION:PT1H 
and
END:VEVENT
saved the file and then opened iCal. the alarm was now there.

forgot to add. The script could have a dialog to enter the address to be inserted.

you could also use iCal to run it. by having two alarms.

one to run the script, which quits iCal in what ever the before time would be now, and do the edit ( it could even bring iCal back up)

the other is you email alarm. that will get edited.
