WebCalX

Manual

Also iCal offers an export function itselft, this export can only be used by other iCal-Users. WebcalX exports all entries as HTML-Site so you are able to share your calendar over the internet and it can be displayed with a normal web browser. Furthermore WebCalX offers the ability to export several calendars at a time and a database export which allows you to use iCal data in databases.
WebCalX now supports a batch mode, which will automatically use your last export settings to create a web calendar on startup.

Preferences

Choose the Preferences-menu to change global settings and HTML-layout.

¨

Here you can choose the color in which calendar entries are displayed on the internet and an optional background picture for your homepage. Also it´s possible to enable or disable the details of an entry (time and date or detailed discription). 
If you select a background picture, it will be copied to the location in which the html-file is created, you simply have to move both files to your webserver.

¨

The Text settings refer to title- and table-font, both can be individually chosen. CSS is used to define the font, so older browsers might not display the font correctly.

¨

By choosing the start of week, you can select wether a calendar week shall start on monday or sunday. 
The language which was selected on first startup can also be changed in this window. 
Here you are also able to switch to automated mode, which will create a calendar on startup with your last export settings. This feature can be temporarily disabled by holding down the Command (Apple) key during startup.

Exporting a calendar

¨

After choosing the appropriate calendars and adding them to the list just click "Export". The button "Others" allows to open calendar files, which are not located in your user folder.
When the calendar entries are shown, recurring events are marked with an R. Recurring events are now supported in the form "repeat every x days/weeks/months/years".

¨

In the calendar just choose a month, day of week or a single day and select the period. You can give your calendar a title, if you want. After clicking "OK" you will be asked for a location in which the HTML-File will be saved.
If you choose "Export the next x month/weeks/days" multiple calendars will be created.
Here the option "Link to other calendars" is interesting; it creates a link to the previous and the upcoming calendar file in the upper part of the site. When using this option, either use the filenames WebCalX proposes or make your own links to other sites.
By creating a calendar index, a file named "calindex.html" will be created, you only have to make a link to this file from your main homepage, the calendar for the current date will be loaded automatically. (will only work in monthly view)

Database export

Select the calendar files as you would do when exporting to HTML, then choose Database export from menu "Extra".

¨

By clicking on a day for start- and enddate you define the period of time. The seperators for data sets, time and date can be defined individually. If you choose the option "Create headers in CSV-file" the first line of the export will consist of the table titles.

Holidays

¨

WebCalX is able to create a vCal-File containing holidays (currently only german holidays), which can be dragged onto iCal in order to import it into any calendar. After choosing year and country you will be asked for the location, in which the file will be saved.

Using individual HTML-templates

The files day.html, week.html and month.html have to be in the same folder with WebcalX. You can modify these files (for example to add an email-link) and put them into your user folder. If there is no file inside of your user folder, WebCalX will use the default templates.
This option is meant for users, who are familiar to HTML. We can´t give you any support in creating or changing the HTML-templates.
