Is there a way, or is it possible to import Ical data from outlook or other calendar programs? The export works great, but I have many users who would like to be able to import their events so they would not have to type them all in.

edwardvielmetti commentedI could use this too, esp. if we got some sort of aggregator2-style ical import where the imported events become nodes in their own right and where there was some way to merge and filter etc etc.
Comment #2
robbt commentedthis would be extremely useful..
I'm not sure if Ical can be distributed through RSS feeds. I also can't really code much but I'm willing to try and get this together.
Comment #3
geodaniel commentedThis would be a very nice feature. Allowing people to import .ics files as well as being able to consume iCal feeds from elsewhere - like upcoming.org and Google Calendar.
There is actually some functionality already in the ical.inc file which is intended to allow importing of iCal files, though I don't think it's implemented anywhere in the interface to actually let you pull the files in...

silurius commentedAdd me to the list of eager testers.
Comment #5
adaptiman commentedI'm using 4.7.2. When I click on the ical icon and try to import the dates into my Outlook client, I get an 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.
I don't see any settings for Events that would refer to this. Anyone have any suggestions?
Comment #6
geodaniel commentedThere is no option to change the date type through the interface, it will need to be altered in the code. You should add that as a separate issue as this one is for getting it to work the other way, from Outlook etc into Drupal.

geodaniel commentedThis is a duplicate of #27481 - lets centralise efforts on that older issue.
