CiviCRM activities iCalendar feed

This module allows users to get their CiviCRM assigned activities into their Google Calendar or similar calendaring applications, by providing a feed of each user's assigned activities in iCalendar format, ready to be subscribed to from with Google Calendar and/or Outlook.

You can watch a video demonstration of this module in action on the developer's website.

Key features

• General description: Users can access an iCal feed of their upcoming (future) Activities, suitable for subscription via Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, and/or similar software
• Activities are represented as VEVENT objects, matching applicable properties (DTSTART, DTEND based on duration, etc.) where possible and appending names of any other asignees to the DESCRIPTION property.
• Feed includes activities of any type, including client-defined activity types.
• Feed includes activities with a status of "Scheduled" or any client-defined activity status.
• To conserve server resources, feeds are cached at a site-wide configurable interval (default 30 minutes).
• A user's Activities feed shows all activities having that user assigned, even if other users are also assigned.
• The user can easily determine the correct URL for the Activities feed by viewing the URL in CiviCRM.
• URL includes a persistent random hash to limit other parties' attempts at guessing the URL and viewing the user's feed; this can be re-generated by the user in case, for example, the URL becomes known to the wrong people.
