SeedCode Support Forum

Hi,

I am confused on how this version can link to iCal. I have seen some of the development discussions about this and I am not sure how it works in the final version. I want to have seed code "synced" with ical. with out a plugin if needed.

You'll need to wait until we release Zulu for "synching". The new calendar can show iCal sources within it, along side FileMaker sources. It can also export to the iCal format.

Zulu (which is a server-side plugin) will let you read and manipulate your FileMaker records from within iCal.

There will be more about Zulu here as we get closer: http://www.seedcode.com/next

Hope that makes sense,

Ok so, how do I import ical into seedcode and then how do export that to ical can read it.

Rather than import into SeedCode you "show" an iCal url in the calendar. This way you're always seeing the most recent events. You can read more about this here:

SeedCode supports wide range of iCal formats but some that rely upon repeating events may not show up properly.

Woah dude that is cool. Took me under a minute to do!

Ok so my next question, is if I export to ical how does ical see it. The docs allude to a web server.

You'd either drag the file into iCal or ftp it to something like the calendar directory of phpiCalendar: http://phpicalendar.net/

Ok cool. Can applescript do this? I tell Fm to save to a file location and the applescript to add it.

I'm not an applescript guy but I imagine so. I use ftp plugins, fwiw.

any applescript guys out there?

Im definitely not an applescript guy either, but have been figuring a few things out with the help of trust old google.. Ive not actually been using a mac for that long (about a week)

Code: Select all

tell application "iCal" to open "/Path/FileName.ics"

Ive just tried this and it opened iCal and asked me which calendar to place the events in.
