Examples

Add a Preference

For example, the following URL adds a new preference, ceBgcolor, to the calendar and sets it to black:

http://calendarserver/set_userprefs.wcap
                     ?id=b5q2o8ve2rk02nv9t6
                     &add_attrs=ceBgcolor=black

Delete a Preference

This URL deletes the calendar preference ceBgcolor from the user’s preferences.

http://calendarserver/set_userprefs.wcap
                     ?id=b5q2o8ve2rk02nv9t6
                     &del_attrs=ceBgcolor

If the attribute to be deleted is multi-valued and there are other instances of the preference, only the first instance encountered is deleted. To remove all of the instances of this preference, multiple set_userprefs commands must be issued, one for each instance.

For example: After running get_userprefs, you see there are two values listed for icsSubscribed. To clear both of them, two commands must be issued:

• /set_userprefs.wcap?id=${SESSIONID}&del_attrs=icsSubscribed

• /set_userprefs.wcap?id=${SESSIONID}&del_attrs=icsSubscribed

Modify a Preference

This URL would modify the calendar preference ceBgcolor to have the value white:

http://calendarserver/set_useprefs.wcap?id=b5q2o8ve2rk02nv9t6
&set_attrs=ceBgcolor=white

This URL would allow the logged-in administrator to modify the calendar preference ceBgcolor to have the value black for user jdoe:

http://calendarserver/set_userprefs.wcap
                     ?id=b5q2o8ve2rk02nv9t6
                     &userid=jdoe
                     &set_attrs=ceBgcolor=black
