I t would be very nice to be able to subscribe to distant calendars over HTTP.
Yes, it would, but it is easier said than done.
I solved this problem, using cron and wget to download the ics file and making orage read the local file! :)
@Reaper: "I solved this problem, using cron and wget to download the ics file and making orage read the local file! :)" Could you please tell us what exactly you did, and what it achieved? Thanks!
Quite simple... Orage can only add local (they call it Foreign) ics files to the calendar. So what I did was to download the ics file from google calender into a local file in my case 'google.ics' and have orage read from it. With a cron job I redownload the file every hour. The only caveat is that it's a read only calendar, meaning you can't add events, through Orange, to the calendar because there is no sync to google servers. cronjob: @hourly /home/reaper/Scripts/orage-google.sh orage-google.sh: #!/bin/bash cd /home/reaper/.local/share/orage/ wget -nH -N "https://www.google.com/calendar/ical/xxxxxxxxxxx/private-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/basic.ics" "cp" -f /home/reaper/.local/share/orage/basic.ics /home/reaper/.local/share/orage/google.ics Then ,like I said before, have Orage read the local file and you're all set! ;) Hope this helps.
