Feature Request - Live Calendar tile but hardcode in a user?

[mattianuk]

Hi

 

We have a user who has a shared calendar which is the schools calendar - is there a way to hardcode that to be displayed as a live tile at all, even though they are not the logged in user?

 

Thanks Nick

Hmm, that's a good idea, I'll make something that does it. As long as the admin has mailbox rights it should work

[mattianuk]

Excellent.

 

Another cheeky request - is there a way to get it to auto login in school?

 

Im guessing not - but I think it would make a cracking homepage for staff and students, but not if they have to login everytime.

I was thinking of releasing a desktop type gadget as well

Happy to help test. Let me know Really impressed with the software!

What do you think?[ATTACH=CONFIG]15193[/ATTACH]

Attached is the installer. It requires the full .net 4 framework though.

 

It's an msi, registry entries control it, which you should be able to deploy with a GPO HKLM/SOFTWARE/nb development/exchange calendar gadget

Looking good!

 

Isn't .net 4 installed with sims anyways?

[mattianuk]

Btw, is one of them for the site? Can't tell from pic?

[nickbro]

Not yet, it's a stand alone WPF application at the moment

Crashes out for me everytime I open it, on Win7 64X Sp1

Ok, I needed an x64 as well as a x86 installer so it creates the write registry items

Hi Nick

 

Yesterday I tried to see if I could achieve what I wanted myself, I got partial success - but do you think the following is possible?

 

I'd like the live tiles on a personalised homepage - so I would like auto login via iis auth or similar with their network credentials - grab their emails/calendar and allow me to add links to the page. They can then login to the existing hap if they need room booking etc, that doesn't bother me. I just want to have a consistent style on our intranet homepage and love the interactivity and ease of sing live tiles?

[nickbro]

Auto logging into HAP+ for that purpose is not possible due to the way the logon system works. Sorry to say.
