282580 - Calendar HTML Export functionality missing

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Calendar :: General, enhancement)

It should be very to export to HTML: simply save a dump of the HTML which is
already being generated by Calendar: instead of rendering it in Gecko, save it to a
file... 

Ideally, the output would be split among several pages (one per month), linked
by means of REL="prev" / REL="next" tags.

Of Course, the period to export should be selectable, and there should be a
button  available to select *all events* in the calendar with one click. This
way, exporting a whole Calendar would be a matter of five clicks at most (start
Export Wizard, select HTML output format, select "all events" option, select
output file, click Finish)
[sorry, too busy with many other OSS projects to devote time to yet another one :-S]

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
(Command not available)
Actual Results:  
(None)

Expected Results:  
Produce HTML output

Even though ICS can be shared over HTTP, for users who do not have ICS clients,
it is very important that we can publish Calendars in HTML format, so that they
look at them from a browser.

Filed under "Normal" bug report as opposed to "Wishlist", because this feature
would really make SunBird competitive in front of the competition.

What makes you think html is already generated? It's all xul.

Still, it is an enhanchment.

mvl, we already generate HTML output for printing purposes. Couldn't this just
be reused to fix this bug?

Duplicate of bug 155237?

HTML export is now available, thanks to bug 298772.  Resolving as fixed.

The bugspam monkeys have been set free and are feeding on Calendar :: General. Be afraid for your sanity!
