TripleSync WebSync Settings for Calcium
Of course, you'll need to use appropriate settings for your Calcium installation and Calendar Name. If your web calendar has security set up, you'll need to enter the Username and Password of a Calcium user with appropriate permissions in the calendar.
Synchronize with Calcium! Select the WebSync option from the TripleSync menu bar; you'll see a few syncing options. You might want to start with Web Overwrites Desktop; this will copy all of the events from the Calcium web calendar into TripleSync. Once things look ok, you'll typically just use the "Synchronize Desktop and Web" option.
Synchronize with your Palm Pilot!

First, you need to customize your Palm HotSync to use the TripleSync conduit you installed. To do this, right-click the HotSync icon in the Windows task bar, and select Custom.... In the dialog box that comes up, select the "TripleSync Date Book" conduit, press the Change... button, and make sure the "Synchronize Handheld, Desktop, and Web" option is selected.

Then just connect your Palm to your PC, and do a normal HotSync; you'll see status messages as TripleSync synchronizes your Palm datebook, the TripleSync calendar, and your Calcium calendar on the web.


Notes
  • After a sync, the web calendar will not display any changes until you reload the calendar.
