Date/Calender iCal issue

Posted on February 8, 2010 - 11:39 by Emery Gordon.

I have a site using calendar/date/cck/views to create an event calendar. When I export an event to iCal http://www.nofatsoftware.com/wm-d6-dev/calendar1/ical/18
and try to open it in Outlook, I get an error. I am using the short date format.

How can this be resolved.

Thanks
Emery Gordon

Hi Emery,
Could you please post the error message. Also, I'm noticing that the .cal file contains no calender entries...I don't have outlook to test, but that may be an issue.

If you could export your Calendar View and attach it as a txt document, that may be helpful as well.

Hi Emery,
I looked at your View and noticed the iCal Feed has different arguments and filters than the page view. Did you mean for that? For me, that caused the iCal to return zero results.

I've modified the iCal part of the View to match the page view and iCal now works. I've attached my version. Feel free to try it out by importing it into Views.

I have a feeling the iCal failed in outlook because it was empty. If you still have issues, attach the exported .ical file from your calendar and I'll try it out.
