tribe_get_single_ical_link not generating correct output

[Jamie Oastler]

Looking for the right code that will generate just 1 ical link that gets added to existing Outlook calendar for a single event view.

The following code being placed on the /wp-content/[themedir]/events/single.php inside the loop generates a URL that is essentially the events permalink/ical/ but does not open up any form of .ics file or Outlook to add the event to my existing calendar.

`
<a class="ical single" href="”>
<img src="/images/addToOutlook.jpg” alt=”Add to Outlook”/>

`

The following which I found on a WP Support forum will generate the entire .ics file and a whole new calendar in Outlook (for all the events)

`
<a class="ical" href="/?ical=ID; ?>”>pluginDomain) ?>
`

Hey Jamie. Glad to see you got that short-term solution from the forum; we are aware of a few issues related to iCal export that we’re addressing in 2.1 as well, so this issue should be resolved there. Sorry I couldn’t offer up more in the short-term.

So, if I’m reading well: this issue hasn’t been resolved with the 2.0.5. update?

[Rob]

Tineke: that is correct. We’re overhauling the calendar functionality for 2.1 so this and a number of the other iCal/G-cal issues you’ve seen active the past few weeks will unfortunately probably not be resolved until that comes out. Sorry I couldn’t offer up more in the short term.

My client is having the same/similar issue. Choosing the ‘Add to Calendar option adds a whole new calendar to her Outlook instead of a specific event. They spent $100 on the Pro version only to find it doesn’t work correctly and I’m under the gun to provide a solution. Any idea when the next version will be out?

Hey Carol. Thanks for the note here; is she hitting the “Add to Calendar” option on the broader events calendar, or just an individual entry?
