Question

I have successfully subscribe to my iCal calendar and I can view events and it is updated. However I am unable to create alarms or reminders if I view an individual event. Normally there is an edit button for any calendar event that is loaded from my normal calendar which is on exchange.

I thought I heard somewhere you may have to use web dav server to do reminders or alarms for one particular event. Is this true or has anyone had any luck getting to reminders to work.

Below is what php generates as the ics file.

Solution

If you want to edit your events you need to have a CalDAV server serving your iCalendar file. Right now you are just serving a read-only iCalendar file so your calendar application has no way of editing it.
