Create a Calendar Category from an iCalendar Feed

It is possible to create an iCalendar that will automatically update every two to three hours using an iCalendar Feed. The Web Central calendar was specifically designed for Google and Recreation Management feeds, but can be used with other iCal feeds.

Important Notes:

  • Items synced through the iCal feed will not be populated in the backend of the Calendar module.
