[EventCalendar] Google Calendar permissions issue with Event Calendar subscription

[Nicholas Street]

Thanks for your prompt reply. Unfortunately the calendar sharing option is
not available. In the left nav bar, the calendar I have imported from ec3 is
under the "Other Calendars" heading, and none of these give me a "share this
calendar" option when clicking their down arrow. Similarly, on the Calendar
Settings pane there is a column called "sharing", but the "Share this
calendar" link only appears for unimported calendars. All my other imported
calendars however are publicly shared, so this isn't a problem for these. I
don't know why the event calendar import behaves differently. Perhaps there
is a setting in the ics feed, or its header, which tells google to restrict
access to that calendar?

Thanks again!

Nick


P.S. You should be able to download the shared ics file from
http://www.union.ic.ac.uk/medic/medsin/globalhealthforums/?ec3_ical - I'm
not quite clear what you mean by the shared Google .ics file, do you mean to
the google calendar webpage in which I have attempted to import the
calendar? You can get to that from here:
