TICKET ARCHIVE -> Webdav And Calendars

aidren - Nov 13, 2005 - 8:04 pm

I have been researching to find a Calendar that can be put up at a website hosted on a commercial server; or link the scheduling back to a private Mac. The features that I am looking for include; a dynamic interface (so that clients can log on and schedule themselves in); automatic email for reminders; and automatic subscribing. I will be using Filemaker Pro and am looking into their add-on at present, and may go that route becaue of the relationship to dBase, but am wondering about iCal. It looks like it can do some of this but is it a dynamic interface once published to the Web.

The other question I have is whether the commercial servers/hosts are WebDAV equipped? And I also came across some information that you can make the Apache Server that is built in to the OS WebDAV compatible by changing some system code. How safe and/or reliable is this?

Thanks

1) I've only been able to find one stand-alone web calendar solution: http://www.web-calendar-pro.com/index.html , but SquirrelMail has some calendar modules: http://www.squirrelmail.org/plugins_...category_id=13 . I've no experience with either, so you'll have to do your own evaluation.

2) The calendares you can publish through iCal are static - depending of course on the backend server.

3) WebDav on commercial server: Usually, you'll have to enable that yourself by editing in the Apache httpd.conf or the .htaccess files.

4) Mac OS X Apache 1.3 and WebDav: how safe it is is all op to you. There's nothing wrong with the reliability.
