We just updated our free FileMaker to vCal XSLT solution that allows you to subscribe to FileMaker calendar data from vCal-compatible calendaring programs. The new version provides compatibility with iCal under MacOS X 10.5 Leopard.

If you have FileMaker Server 9 (or FMS Advanced 7/8), read on to find out how to get up and running in just a couple of minutes.

1° Download FM to vCal
2° Upload the vCal template file to your server and make sure XML/XSLT publishing is active.
3° Put the file vcal.xsl into /FileMaker Server/Web Publishing/xslt-template-files/
4° From iCal, you can now subscribe to the information in the calendar with the following URL:

http://[FMWebPublishingServer]/fmi/xsl/vcal/vcal.xsl?-db=vCalTemplate&-lay=vcal&-findany&-grammar=fmresultset

Login= admin / Password = admin

That's it.

You can also run a script to return only a selection of all events:

http://[FMWebPublishingServer]/fmi/xsl/vcal/vcal.xsl?-db=vCalTemplate&-lay=vcal&-script=[YourScript]&-findany&-grammar=fmresultset

The new version 1.1 of our xslt example file now contains the "SEQUENCE" property to provide Mac OS X Leopard compatibility.
