joyoussync

joyous is a calendar app for the wagtail CMS. It supports ical import from file, but unfortunately not subscription to ical URLs. This is an attempt to add this support for a very narrow usecase.

Subscription a managed via a settingsmenu in wagtail admin. The sync is done using Django Q to execute sync functions continuously in the background. This means you also have to setup Django Q, but all you have to do for that is described here.
