[PHPiCalendar-DEV] URLs in iCalendar events

[Ben F. <li...@hi...>]

Hi all.

I can't seem to get phpicalendar to display the URLs associated with 
calendar objects. Each event in my calendar has a web page associated 
with it which gives further details (retrieved from a mysql database) 
about the event. I had toyed with the idea of actually putting this data 
within the iCal file itself, but I don't think it's flexible enough. I 
need to be able to separate it into lots of fields such as "price" "film 
rating" and things. So I'm trying to put a link in each calendar object 
to point to more information.

Is the URL feature of calendar events turned off in phpicalendar on 
purpose, perhaps because of security issues? Is it possible to turn it 
on? Are there issues associated with this?

Many Thanks

Ben


Extract from  Internet Calendaring and Scheduling Core Object 
Specification which I think is relevant
(http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2445.html):
===========================================
4.8.4.6 Uniform Resource Locator

   Property Name: URL

   Purpose: This property defines a Uniform Resource Locator (URL)
   associated with the iCalendar object.

   Value Type: URI

   Property Parameters: Non-standard property parameters can be
   specified on this property.

   Conformance: This property can be specified once in the "VEVENT",
   "VTODO", "VJOURNAL" or "VFREEBUSY" calendar components.

   Description: This property may be used in a calendar component to
   convey a location where a more dynamic rendition of the calendar
   information associated with the calendar component can be found. This
   memo does not attempt to standardize the form of the URI, nor the
   format of the resource pointed to by the property value. If the URL
   property and Content-Location MIME header are both specified, they
   MUST point to the same resource.

   Format Definition: The property is defined by the following notation:

     url        = "URL" urlparam ":" uri CRLF

     urlparam   = *(";" xparam)

   Example: The following is an example of this property:

     URL:http://abc.com/pub/calendars/jsmith/mytime.ics
