iCal Feed URL only limits to one page

[Mark]

I adjusted my ThemeFunctions.php to make it so that my iCal feed would populate all events from present time to the future, but when I go onto my calendar and right click on Export Listed Events I noticed that all I’m getting is a URL that is limited to events on that page only.

Eg: http://anccbellevue.org/events/?ical=1&tribe_display=list

Is there a way where I could get a URL of a calendar feed that covers all events that I have listed? Is there a master URL?

Hi,

Thanks for using our plugins.

We do not have a master url hidden away on a site for the ical export.

Which coding are you using to try and achieve this? And does it help if it is in the functions.php?

Also, are you using a child theme?

Let me know and I can try to help out.

Thanks

I found a code through the forums that was supposed to address the issue, I corrected the fancy quotes and turned them into straight ones and pasted this code into my THEMEFUNCTIONS.PHP file on a CHILD THEME.

See Line 26 and below:

Ok thanks.

I grabbed the coding from that link and there maybe an issue with the quotes not formatted correctly so you may have to replace all the single quotes.

Once that coding is in place you have to trigger the Full Export using a link it does not replace the existing Exports:

This link should work:

http://yoursite.com/events/?ical=1&full-export

So you can add that link on a template following our themer’s guide to get the full export:

https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/

A warning though if you have to many events the server may timeout before it creates the file.

I found with that far a date in the future it did not work for me, but when I changed this 3000-01-01 to this 2015-12-31 it worked fine.

Cheers.

I did reformat the quotes to now reflect straight quotes.

So if I understand you correctly, I should be able to pull a full export of all my events with this link as long as I change the future date to something not so distant:

http://anccbellevue.org/events/?ical=1&full-export

I changed the future date to 2015-12-31 as you recommended, but it still only pulls the 1st page of events (I have my events calendar set to limit to 6 events per page and I have a total of 9 just to test it out). The first 6 always show up, no issue, it’s anything beyond the six. I’m wondering if the only fix for this is to list all events on one page (but than that makes our page really crowded, so I prefer it not to do that).

Ok I looked at the output and I am not getting all the events either. I tried some different variations, but nothing was working. I will look again next week, but cannot guarantee I can provide coding for a customization.

Cheers

Thanks for all of your time and efforts. I guess the root issue is, not wanting to administrate two separate calendars. Is there a different way to align your Google calendar and this Events Calendar? Because if so, I would rather import my Google calendar into Events Calendar rather than the other way around.

If not…

Is it possible to request a feature for Events Calendar? The reason I ask is because when someone wants to export listed events, shouldn’t they be able to do just that instead of just what’s on the page? I guess I’m a little confused as to what that export function really does. Either that, or there should be a URL for each site that’s create using the plugin. Just some thoughts.

The Google Calendar Export and the iCal Export are not designed to sync the entire calendar.

They are designed for visitors to see an event and be able to add the details to their calendar.

We do not have a feature to directly sync Google Calendar and the Events Calendar.

If you would like to request that feature please head to our UserVoice Page and add your own or upvote that feature as they will increase the chances of it being added to a future version.
