How to export Tactic Agenda and include it into a third party application, such as Google?

For exporting the Tactic agendas the users need to go through the basic steps of agenda module. At first the users need to activate the agenda module and then follow the following steps:

• The users need to create events and agendas
• The users can go to the other tab from the module setup page
• Then the users need to input a word of their choice into the field of key to allow export
• Then the users need to enter any word of their choice and proceed towards completion by clicking on save
• The users can get the link on the line and can proceed with completing the procedure by advancing their focus towards “An export link to ical format is available at following link”

An example of the build link is provided in the following lines:

http://mysite/comm/action/agendaexport.php?format=ical&type=event&exportkey=choosen_word

• Then the users need to go to the agenda parameters of the third party application that the users will be using for exporting the agenda. The users need to add the URL properly for exporting the Tactic agenda.

However, the users can face problem after pasting the link. Google can show notifications such as, The URL cannot be generated, as the robot.txt file does not allow exploration. In this case the users need to edit the robot.txt files, which is already persistent in the Tactic root website. The users can change it into something that can be explored by the third party application.
