Exporting to Google Calendar

You can easily merge the public view of any localendar calendar to a Google Calendar by following these steps:

Step 1: Know Your iCalendar URL

You'll need the URL to your localendar iCalendar feed. The format is:



where is your localendar login, or the name of the calendar you wish to merge

|Tip |

|Most public localendar pages have a small "iCal" icon at the bottom of the page that points to this url. You can use this as a shortcut for |

|getting this link. |

Step 2: Add to your Google Calendar

You may also refer to Google's documentation to complete this step.

1. Sign in to your Google Calendar

2. On the left menu, there is a section labeled "Other Calendars". Click the "Add" link in this section. Then click the "Add by URL" link in the pop-up that appears

[pic]

3. Now supply the URL from Step 1, and click the "Add Calendar" button

Once the calendar has been loaded, it will appear in the "Other Calendars" section. You can change other settings (color, etc) by clicking the small arrow to the right of the calendar's name.

|Be Careful |

|It is unknown how often Google's calendar will refresh the iCalendar feeds you supply. Some reports on the web say |

|'immediately', while others have complained the process takes hours or days (or never happens!). If you remove and re-add an imported calendar, |

|that should force Google to update it. Generally, this should not be necessary unless you notice updates are not propagating from localendar to |

|Google. |

|As a side note, localendar refreshes any imported iCalendar feeds about every 3 hours. |

Exporting to Microsoft Outlook

In this section we cover syncing to Outlook via your calendar's iCalendar feed. You can also create a CSV file for import into Outlook although this method is not as flexible.

The directions for Outlook pertain to Outlook 2007. Earlier versions are known to have incomplete support for iCalendar.

Step 1: Know Your iCalendar URL

You'll need the URL to your localendar iCalendar feed. The format is:



where is your localendar login, or the name of the calendar you wish to merge

|Tip |

|Most public localendar pages have a small "iCal" icon at the bottom of the page that points to this url. You can use this as a shortcut for |

|getting this link. |

Step 2, Option 1: Add to Outlook as "Live Feed"

1. Select "File," and then "Data File Management." Click the "Internet Calendars" tab. Click "New," and then paste the iCalendar URL from Step 1 into the field. Click "Add"

2. A "Subscription Options" window now appears. You can rename the imported calendar if desired. Click "OK" when finished (the window closes). Close the Account Settings window as well.

3. The imported calendar will appear under "Other Calendars" in the Calendars section on the left menu

Step 2, Option 2: Import as a Static Calendar

You can manually load your iCalendar feed into a separate calendar as a one-off operation.

1. Visit the URL you obtained in Step 1

2. Save the resulting page to a local file with a .ics extension

3. In Outlook, select "Import and Export" under the "File" menu

4. In the Import and Export window, choose the "Import an iCalendar (.ics) or vCalendar file (.vcs)

5. Now select the local .ics file you previously saved

The full list of calendar events stored in the file will be uploaded into Outlook. This information will not be updated if the original events on localendar are changed.
