Description

My searches came up empty so I'm posting this, apologies if this has already been suggested. I was wondering if there would be a plug-in that integrates information in iCal to change the status of the user automatically when an iCal event occurs.

A possible use of this is for college students, pulling events from say a "school" calendar allows a customized away message (either standard or pulling from the iCal event title) to be set.

My inspiration was actually my cell phone ... it automatically switches to silent mode when I'm in a "meeting" synced over from iCal, which in my case is class. So what do you think?

I believe iCal can run AppleScripts, which could change the status.

  • milestone set to Sometime after 1.0.

Things are pretty much set now for 1.0 so this can be deferred for a future version. Nice idea and I'd like to see this too!

This could be accomplished by writing an Applescript that gets run when the event occurs, telling Adium to go Away.

Although integration with iCal and actually pulling these events would be spiffy.
