Can I integrate the app's calendar with my personal calendar?

I'd like to integrate the app's calendar with my personal (Google) calendar. Is this currently possible?

Given the apparent lack of integration with the ward calendar (see viewtopic.php?f=158&t=36227&p=207017#p207017), I expect the functionality's unavailable.

Side question: How do I use the url feature in this forum to create a link with custom text in a post? (For example, I would have had the link text above show as this link, instead of the long, cumbersome URL shown.)

There are three methods to make a text appear and function as a hyperlink. The easiest is the one I use the most:
  1. Highlight (select) the text that will function as the hyperlink.
  2. Click the Insert URL button in the menu of common formatting functions in the menu above the text editing box.
    Note: The Full Editor and Preview mode rather than the Quick Reply mode must be used for the formatting functions menu to be available. This mode is automatically entered when the Reply with quote button (quotation mark button) is clicked for a post you want to quote. If the Quick Reply text window is used then click the Full Editor and Preview button just below the quick reply text window to continue in the Full Editor and Preview mode.
  3. Type "=" immediately after "URL" and paste the copied URL
I use this method to avoid making typing errors and it is quicker than typing out the code. I then click the Preview button to see how the post will appear without actually posting. Further edits are then possible to get the "look" desired before posting.

For your post you could have entered something like "(see this post)" to link to the post you want readers to go to. The code to get what you see between the quotation marks looks like this:

Code: Select all

And now to answer your first question, no, I have not figured out any way to link them.
