[PHPiCalendar-DEV] ability to give "pretty" names to calendars specified in $list_webcals ?

[Donald B. <db...@bo...>]

Hi,

Just wanted to drop you a quick note thanking you for phpicalendar.  I needed a quick and dirty way of sharing my iCal calendar with my boss (who only runs Linux), so was looking for a php/web based solution.  phpicalendar fits the bill perfectly.

One slight problem though.  I'm using the $list_webcals array in config.inc.php to automatically pull in my calendar that I share using Apple's iCloud (formerly MobileMe) service.  The URL they use for sharing calendars is a long and nasty one that looks like this:

webcal://p03-www.icloud.com/ca/subscribe/1/Y_jEnt59gNQZbG1l9AbOuw5Pq4EU0fk07eHmgNsXbvjnSv7HNqpLLKjgOSQtNTKh

Well, believe it or not, it works, except that in the legend showing all available calendars, instead of a pretty name (e.g. "Work calendar") it shows a long and nasty string of alphanumeric characters.  Here's a screenshot showing what I mean:

It would be nice if there were some way to set a custom display name for calendars listed in $list_webcals.

Other than that, very happy with the software.  Thanks for writing this and making it available.

Cheers,
Donald
