iCal MAILTO exporting

[Tim Parker]

Hello:

When I validate my iCal feed, e-mails are formatted as “MAILTO: [email protected].” The mailto is being pulled into our app. How do I get rid of this?

Hi Tim,

I’m sorry you have hit up against difficulties.

My understanding is that the “MAILTO:” component is required or at least recommended within RFC 5545 (the formal specification for iCal). Just to clarify, is the problem here due to the single space separation between “MAILTO:” and the actual email address, or is that just a copy and paste error in your initial reply?

If you’re certain you want to be rid of “MAILTO:” in that field completely, you could add this code to your functions.php file or some other suitable location:

function ical_remove_mailto_component( array $ical_item ) {
	foreach ( $ical_item as &$part )
		$part = str_replace( 'MAILTO:', '', $part );

	return $ical_item;
}

add_filter( 'tribe_ical_feed_item', 'ical_remove_mailto_component' );

However, I’d add a caveat that this itself may lead to invalid iCal.
