    Hi, I’m trying to import events from this website: http://www.centenarycentre.com/whats-on/. I have tried entereing various URLs on which the event info appears on this site, and also via some .ics files i have downloaded from the site, but I always get this error message. This was the main (only) reason I bought this plugin so I could gather evetn info from this website, so I hope to find a way to do it!

    Thanks for your help.

    I have also now tried from this website (one of my own using the events calendar) http://www.peelheritagetrust.net/events/, both via URL method and by exporting the .ics file, and again the same error message.

    Hi Chris and welcome to the forums!

    Sorry for the trouble here. I was able to import events from that site using this URL in the iCal Importer settings:

    http://www.centenarycentre.com/?plugin=all-in-one-event-calendar&controller=ai1ec_exporter_controller&action=export_events&no_html=true&ai1ec_cat_ids=15,16,14,29,10,18,30,5

    Does that work for you as well? Let me know and I hope it does the trick!

    Cheers,
    Geoff

    Thanks Geoff,
    that worked, but how did you find this URL? And how can I find the right URLs on other sites, such as http://www.peelheritagetrust.net/events? and this one? http://www.visitisleofman.com/whatson/events.aspx.

    Thanks for help

    Hi Chris,

    I found the URL by visiting the site you provided. clicking on the “Subscribe by Filtered Calendar” button and selecting the “Add to Apple Calendar” option. That provided me the link I needed and assume it would be similar for the other sites you provided as well.

    The main idea is that you need a URL that points to an iCal link–each site may provide that a little differently, but they have to have a link to an iCal/ics file in order for it to work. 🙂

    Cheers!

    Hi Geoff
    sounds easy, but I can’t find any. Can you see a link on this listing http://www.visitisleofman.com/whatson/events.aspx

    or this one? http://www.manxradio.com/community/

    Regards

    Chris

    Hi Chris,

    I’m not seeing an obvious URL for those sites. It’s possible you will need to either work with the manager(s) of those sites to get the URL or–if that’s you–consult with the event solutions being used on those sites to see how to produce those URLs, if they exist.

    Sorry I don’t have a concrete answer for you here, but I’m hoping this at least sheds some light on where to get an answer.

    Cheers,
    Geoff
