Hi,
I have tried this -> https://dav.example.org/dav.php/calendars/[username]/[calendarname]?export already and it ask for a login and password.
When i try this on my mac i get this:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 296 bytes) in /volume1/web/baikal/vendor/sabre/vobject/lib/Parser/MimeDir.php on line 633

Its the calendar op my wife and she holds a lot of entries (4000)in the calendar and I think that is the problem (memory exhausted) . I does not work…

Any ideas welcome

Hey @poekel,

You can limit the export with some options. Since baikal uses sabre/dav you can use the options provided on the sabre/dav website here.

Maybe it is helpful for you, if you limit the export with the start and/or end options. You have to use unix timestamps for this. Converters can be found easily via a google search.

Here’s an example:

http://dav.example.org/calendars/user1/mycalendar?export&start=1391707119&end=1391707215

Maybe you just want to use the start option with today’s value. This would suffice for now I think…

Hi,
Thanx for all the help. It looks like a short workshop Baikal :)
I dont know if i am on the right track. I want to automate it. That is that items in the calendar show up on the mirror.
Is’nt there a simple way ? ( Export to some ics file ?)

Thanx!

@poekel I don’t know, if I understand this right. But the ?export option already triggers a download for an .ics file (with all calendar events). I’m using this on my mirror with baikal and it works fine…

Hi,
The command works fine and i converted the time/datestamps. I think there is something wrong with the stamps, because
i get a file of 146 bytes whatever i do…
I have to play with it. :)
How do you keep the calendar up-to-date on the mirror ?
( my wife holds the calendars for all the family members so …)

Hi,
How do you append the username and password ?
I think it works but it gives me a Authorization failed.

Beh,
I think i have got the right syntax to retrieve the ics files from baikal.
Can you explain how you did it on the mirror?

@beh

I have read your workaround…
I am using Baikal on my synology.
i do NOT have this > https://dav.example.org/dav.php/calendars/[username]/Events?export folder

http://192.168.1.xx/baikal/html/dav.php/calendars/xxxx/calendar-name?export&startdate=1488672000 (=example)

How do i get the record from Baikal in 1 file given a certain start-end date in a file from the command line.
If that works i can change the url in the MM2 config.js file and point to that created file
Please help …

Beh

Hey @poekel
you have to use the keyword start instead of startdate.
It’s described in the sabre/dav documentation here: http://sabre.io/dav/ics-export-plugin/

So your request should look like this:
http://192.168.1.xx/baikal/html/dav.php/calendars/xxxx/calendar-name?export&start=1488672000

You can use this URL in your MM2 config file. It returns a valid .ics file. I’m using this on my mirror too.

And please note, that your calendar-name must be the internal name in Baikal (you can look this name up in the admin settings when you edit a calendar)

@Beh

Thanx for the link!.
It works, it creates a file with nothing more than this:
BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:2.0
CALSCALE:GREGORIAN
PRODID:-//SabreDAV//SabreDAV 3.1.3//EN
X-WR-CALNAME:XXXXXXXXXXXX
X-APPLE-CALENDAR-COLOR:#FF2968
END:VCALENDAR

164 bytes

How do you handle the username and password that goes with the calendar in baikal?
Does the link in the config.js not ask for a username and password for the baikal calendar ?
