Ical Export Entire Calendar

[bravenewmedia]

Hello There,

I apologize if this question has already been asked and answered for the current version of ECP, but I have only been able to find topics from 2013.

Our client would like the user to be able to download their entire calendar at once, instead of one month at a time. Is there a way I can provide this as an option?

I tried setting the list view’s number of items to display to 0 or -1 and that did not work.

By default they display the calendar view. I thought perhaps I could replace the button with a custom one.

They also stated that previously if a user exported the web calendar, their calendar would be synced and they would not need to keep exporting it as events were changed/added. Is that true? Has ECP ever had that functionality?

Thank you!

Hi. Thanks for your question.

We don’t have a data exporter, but you can export via WordPress Exporter or via iCal.

You can customize your site’s iCal feed via code like this:

Please let me know if there’s anything else I can help with.

Hi Cliff,

Just to confirm – this is for the front end “Export Month’s Events” button?

Thank you for your prompt response!

Please read through the comments in that gist. It links to another snippet to customize the text you’re asking about (this text).

Hi cliff,

Thank you for your response – I re-read that right after clicking send. Doh! I will mark this resolved once I have had a chance to test.

Thank you,

[Cliff]

Sounds good. Please let me know how it goes.

Hi Cliff,

I was able to successfully implement the code you provided. I did have to modify a core js file to get the correct link for the button. When I added the functions.php code for this (listed in the comments in the code you provided) it did not work on the calendar/list view but it did override the link on an individual event (which I don’t want).

Thank you!

Thanks for letting me know you got it working as desired.

I did add that JS issue to our internal bug tracker when I wrote that snippet.

Have a good one!
