1. On your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad, go to www.frontersupport.com and type into the search box at the top right  "iPhone" and click on the article called "How to get your Fronter calendar on your iPhone"
   Copy the URL in the article which should look like this:
   https://fronter.com/xxxxxx/sync/1.0/get_calendar.phtml?format=ics&from=2010-01-01&to=2015-04-01&filter=private
2. Go back to your home screen on your iPhone
3. Choose "Settings"
4. Choose "Mail, Contacts, Calendars"
5. Choose "Add Account"
6. Choose "Other"
7. Choose "Add Subscribed Calendar"
8. Paste in the URL into the server address, replacing the “xxxxx” with the name of your installation (E.g. if you go to fronter.com/barnet to login you would replace the xxxx with “barnet”)
9. Choose "Next"
10. Enter a description for the account, E.g. Fronter Calendar
11. Enter your username that you use to login to Fronter
12. Enter your password that you use to login to Fronter
13. Choose “Save”

You should now see your Fronter calendar integrated with your other iPhone calendars.

Tip: to view room appointments, use &filter=public instead of private at the end of the URL.

Please note:

• this is a read only view of your Fronter calendar
• there is also a iPhone/iPad/Android Fronter App available at iTunes App store and Android market that among other things displays your Fronter calendar.

Please note that due to the authentication method used to retrieve the calendar subscription, Shibboleth based logins are currently not supported.

We are pleased to announce two new additions to the external search repositories, available to you through the External Search tool from Monday 10th of May onwards.

Repository: Edurep - Educational Repositories (Dutch)
Description: Edurep allows to search for educational objects in a collection of Dutch repositories. Today Edurep is harvesting over 50
repositories and a selection of them can now be searched from within Fronter.

Repository: NDLA - Nasjonal Digital Læringsarena (Norwegian)
Description: NDLA is an initiative from the Norwegian Government to provide High schools with free digital teaching material. NDLA has produced new and comprehensive material covering digital and social media in different subject areas.

Q: How can I enable these new repositories?
A: Once they are released, you can enable these new content repositories in the Admin tool, on the Tools tab, and there in the Learning Resource Exchange sources. The external search itself is a room tool that can be added into any room.

Q: What is the External search tool?
A: Fronter's External search tool enables you to conduct searches in predefined content repositories outside of Fronter. Available repositories can be viewed in the Admin tool (see above), and some may require subscription from the content provider. Search results can be saved in Fronter resources as links, and subsequently used in learning and collaboration.
