Re: [PHPiCalendar-DEV] URLs in iCalendar events

[Chad L. <ch...@ch...>]

HI, we don't have support for the URL property tag of RFC2445. To my 
knowledge I haven't seen an application that uses is and it's never 
been requested by our audience.

You can put URLs directly into the Description field and we'll convert 
them into an href upon displace. I also believe we do this for the 
Location field as well.

If you want to submit a feature request, please do so on the 
Sourceforge site and attach a sample calendar.

Thanks,
Chad
