Description
I've added a few test events to my Drupal calendar, and I attempted to use the "Add this to your iCalendar" link, but when Outlook attempts to open it it says "Cannot import vcalendar file". I saw a patch out for 5, but when I looked at the ical.inc, it appeared as though that was included.
Thanks,
Casey

I need to have more info...
I don't have Outlook so I cannot test this myself.
Can you post the generated iCal file?
#2
There was a call to a function that got removed in ical.inc. I believe it should work now.
#3
Worked like a charm.
Thanks,
Casey

I am having a similar issue but unfortunately the information in this thread is only useful to the original poster.
"I saw a patch out for 5" - what patch did you see and where might I find it?
"There was a call to a function that got removed in ical.inc" - which function was called and which revision did it get removed?
Any information on this would help me greatly.

I am facing similar issue and I am on Drupal 6.14.
Trying to open ical file I get this error in Outlook
"This error can appear if you have attempted to save a recurring Lunar appointment in iCalendar format. To avoid this error, set the appointment option to Gregorian instead of Lunar.More information about this error message online. "
Do I need to apply any patch to make it work?
Thanks.

I am still not able to resolve the issue. When I click on Ical icon at the bottom of Calendar and try to open the ICal feed in outlook, I see the error "This error can appear if you have attempted to save a recurring Lunar appointment in iCalendar format. To avoid this error, set the appointment option to Gregorian instead of Lunar".
Please suggest how can I fix it?
