Introduction

The Ical plugin reads files or URLs from remote sources. It can be file with a .ics extension or it can be a link to a calendar or website that automatically produces the proper formatted output. The DPCalendar iCal plugin reads these files and integrates the events to your Joomla web site.

If the file is on your server it must have proper permissions to access it. Make sure that the file is accessible to DPCalendar through your Joomla hosting server. If the file is not physically on your server you can define an url like http://joomla.digital-peak.com/demo/dpc/en/component/dpcalendar/?task=ical.download&id=8. To get remote files the server must be able to open connections to the remote server. Ask your hosting company first if outbound connections are included in your hosting plan.
