I'm trying to create a mobile website that can show the current event in the user's iCal calender using an iCal link.
I was wondering if there was a way to format the information and display it. Haven't been able to find one so far.

I'm learning iOS programming and I'm at a very basic level.
I hope somebody can help me with a test project I'm trying to do.
In a view of my app I'd like to show a Google Calendar.
The source calendar will always be the same and events will be added via web site, so there's no need for the user to modify or add anything.
The view should just show a list (tableview?) of events fetched from google and touching each event should push another view with the event's details.
I've tried to see the documents for the Google's API, but, honestly, I'm not able to implement it without help.
I've created a mobile site that displays events retrieved from a Google Calendar. I would like to display a button on each event that allows the user to add the event to their own Google Calendar.
Google Calendar provides a simple way to do this with HTML snippets:
(http://www.google.com/googlecalendar/event_publisher_guide_detail.html)
The url takes parameters so that you can populate the add event form. Here's an example:
https://www.google.com/calendar/render?action=TEMPLATE&text=Brunch+at+Java+Cafe&dates=20060415T180000Z/20060415T190000Z&location=Java+Cafe,+San+Francisco,+CA&details=Try+our+Saturday+brunch+special:%3Cbr%3E%3Cbr%3EFrench+toast+with+fresh+fruit%3Cbr%3E%3Cbr%3EYum!&trp;=true&sprop;=+website:http://www.javacafebrunches.com&sprop;=name:Jave+Cafe&gsessionid=OK&sf=true&output=xml
Unfortunately I can't find a mobile equivalent of this page. If you go to the page with Android, it asks if you want to use the mobile version, but because there isn't one, it repeatedly displays the dialog until you finally cancel the dialog.
Does anyone know of a mobile version of this page, or suggest another way to do it? (Ideally without AJAX as it's causing some offline caching issues on iPhone in app mode).
I've been doing some research on this myself and I've come close, but I'm not 100% there yet. Here's a sample URL of a mobile "share event" link:
http://www.google.com/calendar/gp#~calendar:view=e&bm=1&action=TEMPLATE&text=Halloween+Party+2011&dates=20111101/20111202&details=Description&location=Millennial+Media&trp=false
It opens up the mobile version of Google Calendar and pre-populates it with details about the event your sharing.
The only problem I've encountered is when you're not already logged into Google Calendar. It takes you to the log in page, which is fine, but then after you log in it takes you to the home screen instead of the event entry page.
If you find or already found an answer to this, let me know.

I want to publish some kind of feed that outlook can read and use to populate its calendar. I'm not having any luck discovering how to do this. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I'm not sure there's a way to sync them directly. However I know you can hook up your Outlook Calendar to link to Google Calendar, and due to the nature of Google Calendar there's alot you can do with that data:
Linking Outlook and Google Calendars
Linking Google Calendar with RSS Feeds
The solution was an iCalendar feed link, which works like RSS and updates dynamically.
I have a google calendar and i have used Gcalndar extension to view events on my website.
Is it possible somehow that i can send the all joomla users an email about new events from google calendar
You wouldn't be able to do it through Google Calendar unless you export a list of emails then paste that list in to the guests box in the event details. That would be a pretty big pain to do every time. It would probably be a lot easier to use one of the many newsletter management extensions to send out event announcements through the Joomla site. Tons of options in the JED here - http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/content-sharing/newsletter
I'm new to using the Google Calendar API.
I can create .ics calendars using a php app.
I would like to know if it is possible for Google Calendar to allow embedding of those calendars on to my website without having to add it to an account. I really like the google interface, and if this could work in any way, that would be great.
I'm going to say "no". To utilize the Google Calendar interface (e.g. widget) on your website and have it display calendar data that you've created (.ics via your PHP app), at some point, that data needs to be loaded into a Google Calendar account.
