Link to shared calendar

[jdell]

Hi,

I'm testing ZCS4.0 rc1 on RHEL4 (build 272) which is shaping up very nicely! However, I am having trouble manually adding a shared calendar.

If I share a calendar and send the share notify email and click 'accept' in zimbra web client, the calendar adds fine.

However, I want to 'manually' add a shared calendar, and can't figure out what belongs in the 'path' field (right click on calendars and select 'link to shared calendar').

The text in the dialog says to put the 'location of the folder in their mailbox', but I don't understand what that means in terms of calendars.

Anybody know how to do this?

Thanks!

The path, in this case, is just the name of the shared calendar. For example, if the grantor shared their default calendar, then the path is just "Calendar". If they shared a calendar called "Softball Schedule", then the path is "Softball Schedule".

The same thing applies to shared address books because they are all folders that reside at the top-level of the grantor's set of folders. Not all of the locations are going to be as simple as that, however. For example, if you installed the latest version of ZCS and enabled the new Documents app (which is beta right now), you can create nested wiki folders and share them. Say you created a new wiki folder called "Foo" and another wiki sub-folder called "Bar", then you can use "Foo/Bar" as the path to the shared Bar folder.

andyc, thanks! Working fine now!

Seems obvious (with 20/20 hindsight), but I couldn't find that anywhere in the docs. Probably not looking hard-enough...
