Duplicate events with aggregator

[culturehhi]

We are using the aggregator to pull together several community calendars, mostly via iCal. Some of the events are duplicated across several imported calendars.

Aren’t duplicates supposed to be skipped? Is there a way to clean up these events without going through them individually?

I’ve attached a screenshot of an example where there are two entries are exactly the same.

Thank you!

Hi Jennifer,

Thanks for providing me with that information.

Can you provide me with the URL of the calendar that you are importing?  Are these duplicates coming from one calendar or from multiple calendars?

Let me know if you have any other questions in the meantime!

 

Thanks,

Jaime

Hey Jaime,

Thanks for the reply. I am using multiple calendars. My understanding, however, is that the plug-in should filter down duplicate events, even if they come from different sources. Is that not the case?

Thanks!

[Jaime Marchwinski]

Yes, it is the case that you can set up multiple imports from different sources.  However, since the events have different IDs, they have no way to recognize that there are duplicates there.

Let me know if you need further clarification on this issue!

 

Thanks,

Jaime
