WebCalendar Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How do I setup a Private Calendar in WebCalendar?
Take a look at the How to setup a Feed page.

How do I setup another Private Calendar in WebCalendar? (ie. a Calendar from a friend)
Have your friend login to Google Calendar and follow the steps for a Private Calendar outlined in the How to setup a Feed page. Once they have the private feed address, have them email it to you and then all you have to do is paste it into an available spot and restart the WebCalendar.

How do I setup a Public Calendar in WebCalendar?
First, WebCalendar will not re-read the Calendar Feeds after it has been started so if you have configured the calendars while it was running then you will need to restart your device.

I setup a Calendar in WebCalendar but I don't see any appointments from it.
Take a look at the How to setup a Feed page.

I setup a Calendar in WebCalendar and restarted and I still don't see any appointments.
This has happened sporadically during beta testing as well and the best we can determine is that the Google Calendar is still in BETA and does not always send over all appointments as it should. There are a couple things that can be done to try and get it to load though.
First, try shortening the Days to Load in the options to a more narrow scope.
Second, if shortening the days to load does not work, try pressing the reload button. It may need to be pressed a couple times to get the appointments to load. WebCalendar is requesting the same data each time but sometimes Google just doesn't send it.

I'm not getting any appointment reminders for my Google Calendars.
Currently, WebCalendar does not interact with the device's internal notification system. There are numerous documented issues with the notifications system not working properly and applications getting it into a state of not ever sending an alert. Rather than jump into this with another app that could kill the device reminders we're looking at the best way to try to integrate into the system without making it worse. Until such time as we can get the notifications integrated, if you have a Pocket PC Phone device you can enable SMS reminders directly from Google and these work great. Also, you can get them to send email reminders if you are connected to a wireless network.
