Can I show iCal records IN the calendar?
Yes. The calendar can show iCal data sources along side FileMaker records. Learn more here: Multiple Sources
Exporting to iCal
The Pro calendar includes support for exporting found sets of events to the iCal format. You'll find a button in the upper right of the Event List layout that will export the found set as an .ics file to your desktop. This script takes a source number as a parameter so you can export any of your FileMaker sources to iCal.
Here are some tips to help you get the most out of this:
Troubleshooting the iCal Export
The iCal export requires an xsl file in the Extras folder that came with SeedCode Complete.
This xsl file can be placed almost anywhere you'd like-- provided you tell the script "Export Found Set to iCal { SourceNumber }" where to find it. If you're serving the calendar you can even put the file on a web server, so everyone has the same path to it, and the give the script the file's URL.
Here's how. Edit the script "Export Found Set to iCal { SourceNumber }" and find the "Export Records" step. Click "specify" next to Specify output file. When the next screen comes up click OK and you'll be on a screen called "Specify XML and XSLT options". Select HTTP Request, and enter the URL of the seedcodeiCalExport.xsl file. Or leave the setting on "file" if you're not using a server and just find the seedcodeiCalExport.xsl file on your machine.
