Have just updated to 5.x-2.x-dev and cannot see my calendar via iCal any more. I ahve missed several updates, so not sure if it has crept in before or if this is something new with this version. I can download the iCal file which has data in it, however, nothing is displayed in Google Calendar or any other app. I ahve attached my ICS to this post. Having had a quick look at the file, not being an expert in this format, the end dates jump out as being wrong. The first event (see entry below) has the correct start date and time, however the end date should be the same as the start with the time being at 21:00.

Hope you can help, although I do appreciate it may be me doing something really stupid!

Hi,

I have updated to the latest release, however, that has not solved the problem. I do not think that I have changed anything. I created a test event just to check things out. The event was set to start at 20:13 on the 23rd July 2008 and end on the same day at 21:13. When I click on the event, i.e. as a normal user it is displayed correctly (see attached). However, again when I download the iCal, it appears to be wrong (see below and attached). Shouldn't DTSTART have a date and time in it? Why are all the DTENDs the same?

I have tried connecting it directly to Google Cal and Windows Cal to make sure it dosn't work. So either I am doing something really wrong or there is still a bug. Could there be a conflict with another module? If so how could we narrow this down? Or is it a bug in the event module? Is there anything I should check on my server?

iCal doesn't work for me either, with 5.x-1.0 or 5.x-2.x

Hi,

Have downloaded and tested the latest dev release, 16th July, but still no luck. Again the ical itself seems wrong (see below). I have tried using it in Windows Cal and Google Cal with no luck. Any ideas?

Cheers,
Nick

Hi,

Thanks for that. I have tried it and it dosn't appear to work. I have cleared the views cache, my bowsers cache and tested it on different amchines but no luck. The RSS events feed works fine, it is just the iCal that dosn't work.

Any other ideas anyone?

Nick

I rechecked, and although the ical now has event data in it, there is a parse error from google calendar

Hi,

I have downloaded the latest release and the iCal file looks good to me. However, when I try to import the cal into Google I get the following error:

Settings Error
We could not parse the calendar at the URL requested.

The iCal works in Windows Cal though. I am assuming that this could be something wrong with the iCal file but am not sure.

As far as I know the generated iCal conforms to the specification. I've no idea what that google error message means.

Version: 5.x-2.x-dev » 6.x-2.x-dev

drupal 6.7
php5.2
Event 6x.2 dev

ical file only contains 3 events when exported, when I click the ical icon at the bottom right of the calendar view. Granted there are only 3 events for the currently displayed month- not being familiar I don't know if it should work that, if it should, I was hoping for all the events.

But

When I click the ical icon on the upcoming events block which is displaying 6 items, exported ical file has 3 events aswell, contains the 3 closest events coming up.

Ideally I was hoping the ical file would have all the events loaded into the calendar?

the url specifies how many days should be added

http://www.yoursite.be/event/feed/all/all/xxxxxx

replace xxxx by number of days to include
