RSS alternate option

[eqstl]

I just read this feed below and see you can’t link to RSS feed. Are there plans to enabling the RSS feature anytime soon?

As a workaround (since so many calendars ARE available as RSS including your product) Is there a way to link to an .ics file and make that automatically update? Or do we need to go pull that every hour? Doesn’t seem like a viable long-term option.

RSS Feed Integration

Hi,

Thanks for purchasing our plugins. I can help out.

Right now there are no plans to use RSS feed to add events to our plugins.

We do have the iCal Importer, which you purchased and that does have recurring imports so you can pull in new events as they are created from a iCal Feed on a schedule.

Do you think that would work?

Thanks

thanks, brian. but most sites offer either an RSS feed or an ICS file. Can i make an ical from an RSS feed? not sure how to solve the issue… especially with RSS feed so common.

Also, how would someone else get an iCal feed from your plugin? If we want to share our calendar, how do I offer an iCal to others? it seems to only create the RSS feed?

Hi,

Are you trying to get a iCal feed from your site?

If so the month view has a iCal link at the bottom for that month’s events.

If you are looking for a custom range I have this snippet to create one:

https://gist.github.com/jesseeproductions/c31f054709ca7eb9b779

You could add that to your theme’s functions.php and then use this link to get a iCal file or feed:

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

You will want to change the date here to the range you would like:

$query->set( 'end_date', '2015-12-31' );

Does that work?

[eqstl]

yes, thanks!

Great glad it helps.

I am going to close this ticket, but if you need anything else related to this topic or another please post a new topic on the forum and we can help you out.

Thanks
