Shambhala iCal Subscription
You can subscribe to an iCal version of the Ottawa Shambhala Centre calendar.
Instructions for Mac OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion latest version
1. Open iCal on your Mac
2. Under File, select New Calendar Subscriptions
3. Paste the following link into the popup that appears: http://shambhala-koeln.de/ical.php?center=230
At this point iCal will give you the option to select what you want to do with the calendar. You can set the following:
Name of the calendar as it will appear in iCal: you can pick whatever you like
Colour of the events: you can pick whatever you like
Subscribed to: Do not change this, it is the web location of the Shambhala Ottawa web calendar
Location: On My Mac is the default, but you can also select iCloud and the calendar will be available on all your iCloud devices
Remove Alerts, Attachments, and Reminders: Normally, these will all be selected, and that is what you want. It is recommended not to change these.
Auto-refresh: This is how often iCal goes to the Shambhala Ottawa website to get updates to the calendar. You can select whatever you like.
Deleting the calendar
If you make a mistake in the above, you can delete the calendar and redo the Subscribe. Simply look at the list of calendars in iCal, and right-click on the one with the name that you selected above, and select Delete.
Instructions for iOS
iOS allows you to subscribe to a calendar on an individual device but does not let you put it on iCloud so you need to repeat for each device.
- Navigate to Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Add Account
- Select Other -> Add Subscribed Calendar
- Enter the URL: http://shambhala-koeln.de/ical.php?center=230
- Change the name if you like and turn off alerts.
- Touch Save.
Deleting the calendar
