Printer-friendly versionSend to friend

You can publish a calendar in several ways. The term publish means allowing someone else to see your calendar. We sure the term Share as well to mean 1-way outwards publishing.

You would want to publish or share a calendar for several reasons.

- You want to show a dotCal calendar or dotCal Mashup calendar on a website.  For this case you would use a dotCal Embedded Calendar.

- You want to allow some other person or calendar program to Read a otCal calendar or dotCal Mashup calendar. This is the case of sharing a calendar with someone in your family but only in a Read Only Fashion.

- You want to share a calendar with yourself on another calendar platform like Google or Sunbird. This can be done as above in a Read-Only, or 2-Way fashion depending on the calendar client you will be sharing with.  We call this dotCal Sync. dotCal Sync is available on many Desktop clients and will soon be available on several Webtop clients as well.
