In my iCal export files, I'm missing a couple of information headers that make things a little screwy. The first is the calendar name, which comes out looking like this:
X-WR-CALNAME:June 08, 2005 - July 08, 2005 ...tells me nothing about where the calendar is from or what it contains. The site name is put in if the calendar name is missing, but imho the site name should always be put in and the calendar name appended to that.

The next thing is the timezone. Drupal is not putting out the timezone header, just pasting the timezone in the description field where it does no one any good. iCal thinks the timezone is GMT, so it renders the event four hours later than it's supposed to be. The timezone needs to be output here:
X-WR-TIMEZONE:America/New_York

I have a similar experience. Importing to Evolution displays things oddly.

  • Calendar is titled "2005"
  • It shows up in my calendar as being 4 hours later. My timezone in Evolution is correct, as is the timezone on the website. eg - show posted as being at 6:00pm shows up being at 6pm on the site, but 10pm on the calendar. Strangely the kind of confusing text on the description says 6pm GMT+4.
  • The titles appear differently between the calendar overview and the summary. The event title is Fourtet, Sunburned Hand of Man. The calendar overview says Fourtet. The summary says Sunburned Hand of Man.

I should also add that while the calendar "2005" appears to synchronize correctly from the link on the 'latest events' sidebar it does not from the link on the bottom of the calendar overview. Apparently the bottom link to /all doesn't work, but /ical does.

Add the site name to the calendar name, and fix the double correction of offset (-0700 events where exported as -1400)
