Replace calandar server - CalDAV

SuiteCRM Forum - English Language SuiteCRM General Discussion

Hi all,

Is there a way to have SuiteCRM use an external CalDAV calendar server, instead of it’s own inbuilt one? We run a DAViCal calendar server that is updated by users’ Thunderbird and Outlook clients. It would be great if the calendar in SuiteCRM used the same calendar server.

All ideas most appreciated.

Thanks,
Tim.

I don’t think so - not out-of-the-box.

Check the SuiteCRM Store for any appropriate plugins.

You might also want to have a look at our Google Calendar integration which was contributed by @benjamin.long and explore possibilities by centering everything around a Google Calendar (having both SuiteCRM and your CalDAV syncing to Google)

Hi and thanks for your speedy reply.

You mentioned CalDAV syncing to Google. While I don’t want to share my corporate info with Google (bless 'em :-)) I think that CalDAV is the key here: If SuiteCRM can use CalDAV to sync with Google Calendars, then SuiteCRM should be able to sync with any CalDAV-compliant calendar, including DAViCal for example.

Are you able to aim me at the relevant CalDAV parts of the config or software, please?

Thanks,
Tim.

Hi PGR,

Thanks for your reply.

I have seen the Google Calendar Sync module/feature but I don’t want to sync my private and business details with the Google Bot… they don’t pay me enough :slight_smile: I thought that it might be possible to use that module to sync with another CalDAV calendar but now that I’ve read about the module, it seems that it uses Google-specific APIs so that won’t be possible; is that correct?

Thanks again,
Tim.

Yes that seems to be strictly a Google API thing, you’d have to do different code for other system, I suppose.
