Gnome Evolutions Calendar

I have been working on trying to get my Evolution mail client to connect up to sugar and get the calendar and also publish to it. I have read almost everything on this forum, but i cannot get it to work at all.Does anyone have any quick steps on getting this to work? I am using Evolution 2.4.2.1.

Thanks.

Okay this has been here for a while, and i cannot believe that there is not a sole that has gotten this to work. I will try the new 4.0 release, but can anyone tell me if they have been and how sucessful with the Sugar CRM Evolution Calendar?

Thanks.

Hi,

I've been using Evolution with SugarCRM for quite a while now. What I do is subscribe to the SugarCRM calendar in Evolution, and then publish the free/busy times from particular calendars to SugarCRM. This doesn't show your schedule in Sugar--but does show when you have something booked. In Evolution, you see it all ;-)

To subscribe to your Sugar calendar, go to "My Account", and set up a publish key. Then use the URL it generates as a new Web Calendar in Evolution. Should look something like this:

webcal://server.name.com/sugarcrm/ical_server.php/email=name@domain.com

The other way took some doing. I found a script in the forums some time ago that provides free/busy publishing, and did some tweaks to get it to work. But now, several upgrades later, it may be part of the distribution--it looks like the file I'm publishing to got upgraded in October, and I know I've been using it longer than that.

So I just pick the calendars that I want to use for Free/Busy, go to the Evolution Settings, and publish to the vcal_server.php page, like this:

https://server.name.com/sugarcrm/vca...ook&key=secret

Hope that helps,
