Does anyone know if a way/extenstion/method for generating .ICS (Calendar) files on the fly from appropriate content classes? Is it even possible within eZ?

Hi Tony,
i'm pretty sure, that you can do this with ez, as it is only a way of rendering data, that you store in the content object.
Some thoughts - Of course, you need to know the specifications of the .ics format, from demo data (exported from your application) - You will need to create a class with the data you need - you will need a template (e.g. a view mode "ics") for your class- you probably will need an "empty" pagelayout to get rid of all the HTML/Meta/Body-Tags (and i think, you must declare this pagelayout somewhere.... not sure)
Actually... i think, thats about it ;)

you can look into existing extensions and change them.
There are many:

and at wikipedia about the format:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICalendar
and the [RFC 2048] Internet Calendaring and Scheduling Core Object Specification (iCalendar)

for a personal project, I develope an iCal extension. If you want, you can try it : http://trac.llaumgui.com/browser/ez_publish/ezical/trunk
At this time, I did not start to write the documentation and the importation module is not start.
But, the ICS's export work and is compatible with the webin's event class but

I'm not sure if this would satisfy your need, but a much simpler approach would be to embed hcalendar information. This is a microformat that relies on CSS classes to denote information. There are scripts and browser extensions available that can identify microformat content in page, and change them to other formats, such as iCal.
More information here: http://microformats.org/wiki/hcalendar
Script start
Module start 'content'
Module end 'content'
Script end
