ICAL Google Zimbra

[jfuller70]

We use sugarcrm 5.2 and 4.5.1
fedora 8
mysql 5
php 5

We use the ical patch. Lighting/sunbird will read the sugarcrm 5.2 and 4.5.1 calendar just fine

zimbra 5 will only read the sugarcrm 4.5.1 ical calendar fine, but not the sugarcrm 5.2 calendar says it is not a valid ical file.

google will not read either 4.5.1 or 5.2

Any thoughts?

Hi jfuller70,

I recently introduced a Zimbra NE 5.0.12, SugarCRM 5.2.0, Kayako Helpdesk, OpenERP and BlackBerry Server Professional.
As we have all sorts of different client platforms (Mac OS X, Windows XP, Linux) webbased services were the first choice. Also Zimbra was one of the most flexible tools available for a reasonable price to support all sorts of connections via HTTP, IMAP, CALDAV, etc.

Currently I started to network all the different tools creating custom services:
- Using PHP to create ICS feeds for group calendars based on distribution lists
- Authenticate SugarCRM users based on the Zimbra LDAP (GAL)
- Send SugarCRM contact details to the Zimbra personal addressbook (BlackBerry)
- Authenticate external Kayako Helpdesk users through SugarCRM (loginshare API)

Any networking/exchange to extend this implementation scenario to a larger base would be welcome!
