Ical and multiplied events

[beh0t]

All day evenn- start day 01.03.2015 end date 05.03.2015

After import iCal file to google calendar on android device the event is present 5 times, each day between 1.03 to 5.03

It should be only onec in iCal but is 5 times with same dates.

sorry for misspelling

Hey there and welcome back to the forums–nice to see you again. 🙂

Can you confirm that your multi-day event is properly configured? I tried creating the same event on my setup and it seemed to display correctly when I imported the .ics file for it to my calendar applications. Here’s a screenshot of the date and time settings I used, in case that helps.

Cheers!

Screenshot with other dates and same bug
my ical file – multiplied event uid:842-1424131200-1426636800

I’m using code (from here) to remove html tags from event description:
add_filter( ‘tribe_google_calendar_parameters’, ‘remove_tags_from_gcal_links’ );
function remove_tags_from_gcal_links( array $params ) {
$params[‘details’] = urlencode( strip_tags( urldecode( $params[‘details’] ) ) );

Hey there, thanks for following up!

Are you seeing the event split up multiple times in your WordPress dashboard as well, or is the event a single event there?

Also, can you provide me with the Event title you used? I’m unable to identify which one it is in the .ics file.

Thanks!

in the ‘events calendar’ month view is displaying correct (one entry each day), in dashboard only ones (correct)

[Geoff]

Hmm, I tried importing your .ics file into my applications and the events seemed to be correct. Is it possible your calendar application needs to be reconfigured?

its default android app.

but in ics file that event is present multiple times with same start and end date. Is it correct? I think it should be only one entry – like in wordpress dashboard

[Geoff]

Yes, you’re totally correct here. While splitting multiday events into separate events doesn’t have an impact on some calendar application (e.g. iCal), it does seem to have an impact on the application you are using.

I don’t have a solution for you right this moment, but I’ve opened a ticket for our team to look into this further. I’ll be able to update you here when I learn more.

Thanks for reporting this and for your patience walking through it with me! I appreciate it. 🙂
