Description David Richards 2005-05-13 20:54:23 UTC 
The Calendar description multi-line entry widget should support URLs that are
put into the text.  Right now they are displaying as text only, which you have
to copy and paste into your browser.

Adding shot, webcal:// that comes down from the Apple site, note the URLS aren't
"active"

David: Which URL you tried to add ?
Comment 3 David Richards 2005-05-16 13:21:31 UTC 
Here is the webcal that I added:

webcal://ical.mac.com/ical/Movies.ics

In general though, http: links that are embedded into the calendar description
area should work as they do in the email composer.

This can be fixed as a side effect when will be available fix for bug #329616 (in case of using GtkHtml widget/editor) and if it will be an editor, then it will be easy to connect to proper event of editor from bug #318592.
Comment 6 Milan Crha 2008-07-08 10:47:51 UTC 
Dave, as Jo noted this bug in bug #524130, the later contains patch to have links in description clickable at least in the preview pane. Say as a first step towards this.
Comment 7 Matthew Barnes 2008-07-08 16:03:07 UTC 
Relying on GtkHtml (or even WebKit) is overkill for this.  Pidgin, for example, manages to do it without GtkHtml's help.  Maybe there's some code or (if we're lucky) a nice standalone widget we can steal.
Comment 8 Matthew Barnes 2008-07-08 16:46:20 UTC 
Actually, Matthias Clasen pointed out that gtk-demo shows how to render clickable links in a GtkTextBuffer.  So that gets us halfway.  Now we just have to detect URLs, which I imagine Camel can help with.

Marking this one as a duplicate of the newer only because it contains possible patche for this.
