iCal feed

[David Watson]

The code in this article https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/ical-feed-with-all-events/ to give a feed for all events is great and works for me.

Is there a way to narrow this feed down to all events for a single category?

Hi David,

Thanks for reaching out here!

You can create a single category view, so that all events from that category will be exported.

https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/event-categories/

Also, you can try to append the following to the URL to add the category, using the category slug: ?tribe_eventcategory=43

Let me know if that helps!

 

Thanks,

Jaime

Hi,

Thanks for your reply – I’m not sure I’ve been very clear.

I have been able to export .ics files for different categories – see my page https://www.stmichaelsaldbourne.co.uk/diary/

I’m not trying to export events I’m setting up a feed so a user can subscribe to the upcoming events.

I have used the code referred to in the earlier article so a user can, for example using Outlook, add a calendar and subscribe to it using the url: https://www.stmichaelsaldbourne.co.uk/diary/list/?tribe_paged=0&tribe_event_display=list&ical=1&tribe_display=list

This creates an iCal feed (one way) so the user can subscribe to the calendar and receive updates. So far so good.

My issue is that this create a feed of ALL events, what I want to do is create other urls that only give feeds for certain categories so for example, if a parent has a child in Class 3 they would want to subscribe to a feed of with the category as Class 3 (category ID=10).

Is there a term I can add to the string to achieve this?

Thanks

Hi David,

I haven’t given this a thorough test, but perhaps you can append the information I provided above to your URL, so something like this:

https://www.stmichaelsaldbourne.co.uk/diary/list/?tribe_paged=0&tribe_event_display=list&ical=1&tribe_display=list&tribe_eventcategory=10

Let me know if that works for you!

 

Thanks,

Jaime

Hi Jamie,

I tried that but it didn’t work however, I have managed to play around and find the answer;

My example that worked was;

https://www.stmichaelsaldbourne.co.uk/diary/category/year-2/list/?ical=1

So that’s

{site-url}/{event-slug}/{category-slug}/list/?ical=1`

Works a charm!

Thanks for your help – hope other find this useful too.

Glad to hear that you were able to figure things out, and thanks for sharing!

Since this issue has been resolved, I’m going to go ahead and close out this thread.

Have a great week!
