I am trying out OmniPlan v2.1 on a 14 day trial. I have a copy of OmniPlan v1.x, but I never used it much because it didn't integrate well with the rest of the software that I was using.

Today I am using Lion iCal with Exchange and iCloud. My tasks are contained on the Exchange server tasks folder and iCloud Reminders (multiple reminders lists).

I can't get OmniPlan to talk to these via iCal.

What am I doing wrong?

I'd like to be able to use OmniPlan to generate a moving personal project track that tackles everything in my daily battle. OmniFocus is great, but it doesn't really show things in motion. In other words, I cannot open it up one day and have it tell me what I need to do for that day to push things forward.

Ideas?

Bump... sadly, my trial license expired and I never did figure this out :(

Contact Omni support by phone or email. They can both extend your trial and help you figure out what is going wrong.

Well, I contacted Omni support and they chose not to respond. Sigh.

Sorry for the trouble here, Vermyndax! Can you either send an email to support@omnigroup.com with "Attn: Brian" in the subject line, or can you send me a private message here on the forums letting me know which email address your original message was sent from?

We searched our trouble ticket system for messages from the same address your forum account is associated with, but we can't find any sent more recently than February. Since your original post is in May, it looks like the email was either sent from some other address or it never reached us.

Thanks, Brian. Just reforwarded the message to your attention.

It would appear to me that OmniPlan Project Subscriptions does not yet support task lists on Reminders. I'm hoping that maybe I'm doing something wrong? :)

The closest I can find to Reminders Sync in the Configure Publishing and Subscriptions dialogue is Sync tasks to/from iCal Events. The list of "calendars" is actually the list of task lists from Reminders, but the error when attempting to publish is "The [name of list] calendar does not support events."



Any help that can be provided would be most appreciated!

Thanks so much!

I believe this is due to the fact that Reminders are not events, but they're basically what To-Dos were back in the iCal days. I will file a bug report about this.

One possible workaround is to set up a "Sync Tasks to/from Calendar To-Do Items" action in OmniPlan, but that requires that you enter your iCloud information as a CalDAV server and it's a bit tricky figuring out the server address that your account is located on in iCloud. All the tutorials I could find online on how to figure out your CalDAV server address on iCloud are out-of-date, unfortunately.

Thanks so much. I think perhaps the workflow I had intended to use this in was not as dependent upon this working as I would have thought, but that said, it will be great to see that as an enhancement :)

Has this changed at all? I still need to buy an update to Omniplan v2.0 - still did not do that because I wanted to be sure that this was working first.
