[pmwiki-users] help with the ical export recipe please?

> Hi list,  Could you help me set up the Ical export cookbook recipe?

>>> I've downloaded the recipe from
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/ICalExport
and had a play with it.  The documentation isn't really the best, and so I would appreciate any help you can give me since I'm stuck on some things.  I tried to email the author at schlaefer at macnews.de, which is the email address provided in the recipe, but the emails don't go through.
>>> 
>>> First, my wikilog calendar is installed, thuroughly tested and working.
>>> 
>>> In config.php on the line above the include for my calendar I have the following include:
>>> include_once("$FarmD/cookbook/icalexport.php");
>>> 
>>> I have uploaded the script to my cookbook directory.
>>> Before uploading the script to the cookbook directory, I edited the following lines of the script as follows.
>>> 
>>> SDV($ICalCalendarGroup, 'Calendar');
>>> SDV($ICalCalendarTitle, 'NFB Nevada');
>>> SDV($ICalTimeZone, 'Europe/Berlin');
>>> SDV($ICalFileName, $ICalCalendarGroup);
>>> For reference, these are lines 89 to 92 of the script.
>>> 
>>> The script seems to be installed correctly.  I get no spurious errors, but I'm not seeing a reference to it anywhere and I have the following questions.
>>> 
>>> First,  how do I set the time zone?  I need gmt-8.  I see the line with the varyable but I don't know what argument  is expected.
>>> Second, I see from notes in the script that my ics file is ment to be stored in 
>>> http://yourserver/index.php/uploads/Calendar/Calendar.ics
>>> Now I have two issues with this.  First, I don't really want a folder on my server called index.php.  I see that I can change the folder path using something called the $edit function, but I don't know enough about php at this point to attempt it.  Second, regardless of the folder used, I'll have to manually create it myself and make it writeable will I not?  The instructions say nothing about setting up the path to the ics file.
>>> Third, what triggers the script to generate the file?  I'm assuming it hasn't tried yet, since the path isn't available on the server and I haven't gotten an error from the script.  I dnow how to link to the file once it's generated, but how can I make sure the script is constantly updating and maintaining the file?
> 
> Once I have this up and running, would it be OK if I updated the instructions?  I'm a pretty good documentation writer and I think I could make the process much clearer.
