New in ((Tiki21)): CalDAV support in Tiki ((Calendar)) via ((SabreDAV)). See also ((CardDAV)) and ((Calendar Invitations by email)).

CalDAV URL is http://example.org/tiki-caldav.php but you should point to the base URL and let your CalDAV client auto-detect settings.
If you need to connect your Tiki calendar and your client manually, use the following syntax of your credentials:
url: ~np~https://~/np~''example.com''/tiki-caldav.php/calendars/''USERNAME''/calendar-''ID''
user: ''USERNAME''
password: ''PASSWORD''

^Recommended clients to synchronize against the Tiki calendar (if you know something else or even better, please update this page):

{FLUIDGRID()}
-=Android:=-
* [https://f-droid.org/en/packages/at.bitfire.davdroid/|DAVx5] through [https://f-droid.org/|F-Droid]
---
-=GNU/Linux:=-

!! Android DAVx5: Adding a Tiki calendar to Android in less than 5 minutes

Prerequisites:
# 1/2: You need the DAVx5 app on your phone, which you can get for free in the F-Droid shop or buy in the Google PlayStore.
# 2/2: You need a calendar app on your phone with CalDav sync capability . Please mind, that there are plenty appropriate free calendar apps in F-Droid and PlayStore and you do not need to use an app with advertising or in-app purchases.
+ One free CalDav sync capable calendar for Android is the "SimpleCalendar" by [https://simplemobiletools.com] 
+ com.simplemobiletools.calendar / com.simplemobiletools.calendar.pro
+ You can also use the standart Google Android Calendar app (not to be confused with the online Google Calendar service).

Please mind: DAVx5 is __not__ a calender frontend or standalone calendar app. 
DAVx5 adds the CalDav functionality to the Android operating system and provides this type of services to the calendar app of your choice.

# Open DAVx5 and add a new account. You need the url to one CalDav calendar of Tiki where you have appropriate permissions, plus your Tiki username and your Tiki password of the relevant Tiki website. 
+ Use this syntax: ~np~https://~/np~''example.com''/tiki-caldav.php/calendars/''USERNAME''/calendar-''ID''
# The setup is self-descriptive. You need to provide an arbitrary DAVx5-account name for ''the'' Tiki user on ''the relevant'' Tiki website. DAVx5 will provide you a list of all calendars of ''the provided'' Tiki website and you can tick/untick which calendar(s) to synchronise (note: please add screenshots).
# Your calendar app(s) will now show the Tiki calendar on your Android device.
+ Accordingly to your Tiki permissions you can (or cannot) create, view, edit and delete Tiki calendar items from your phone or tablet.
