I believe that downloading an event in iCal format can be very helpful, to share the event's calendar with other systems (like Outlook, Drupal, Joomla, WP, Moodle, etc).  iCal standard is now supported by thousands of popular systems (as shown here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_applications_with_iCalendar_support).

One relevant feature here is also allowing Administrate to provide an "iCal Event URL", where any other external system can periodically check if any change has happened in any event, and will synch it accordingly.

This makes the integration between Administrate's calendar and the other external systems much easier.

What do you think?

  Hi Tawfeeq - just an update on this (similar to the other calendar feature request listed here: https://administrate.zendesk.com/entries/21657086-Outlook-Tasks-Reminders-and-Calendar-Integration) we're currently testing a brand new calendar which does support subscriptions (and download of event detail) via the iCal standard.  We're very excited about this development so stay tuned a few more weeks!

  Hi Maire, thanks for checking in.  We've been a bit delayed as you may have noticed due to some technical issues.  We believe we have them solved, but it's going to take us a bit longer to get this scheduled in and addressed.  Stay tuned, we haven't forgotten!

  Hi All -

  We will be releasing the iCal subscription feature next week (Week of Nov 18).  We're excited!  Note that iCal attachments on event emails will be coming after this as a next step.

  Have a great weekend!

  John
