Here’s the solution. I’ve tested against all day events and it leaves those alone. 😉 It will replace the ending “59” with a “00”. Add to your theme’s functions.php file and you should be good to go.
@Jen – I see exactly what you’re referring to in my feeds as well. I think I know both where this is coming from and how to fix but it doesn’t really make sense. There is a line that adds a day (in seconds) to the end of an event $endDate, there’s a code reference about it being necessary for a “bug” in iCal.
I’ll code up a quick patch for your theme’s functions.php file. Out of curiousity, are you having similar issues with Outlook as described in https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/ical-import-how-do-we-get-it-to-add-event-to-an-existing-calendar-in-outlook/ ?
@Rob, I only get a notification to upgrade to EC 2.0.7, nothing yet for ECP 2.0.7. Yes, my license is entered and is valid. 😉
How long should I have to wait for it to ‘push’ through?Actually, #1 is from Outlook. It has the following header.
PRODID:-//Microsoft Corporation//Outlook 10.0 MIMEDIR//ENTo disable my hack all you have to do is comment out the first line in the code added to functions.php, the one starting with `add_filter…`
@Dave, I’ll take a look at all the ics files when I get back to my desktop. Is #1 my hack, the makedesignnotwar hack or both? In addition to #3 above, can we get a #4 (just my hack) and #5 (just the makedesignnotwar hack). I ask because, my hack should be producing the exact same function. Alternately I might be able to figure this out faster if you could create an admin user to the bizzytest.com site. You can send it to andy [at] thefragens [dot] com
Hey Dave, that’s very interesting because the hack I did removes the line in question. Can you do me a favor? Have your tech guy create an ics file using both of our hacks and send the files to me. I’d like to see the difference for which one works and which doesn’t. As I’m not using Outlook as a calendar I can’t do this on my end. He can send the files to me at andy [at] thefragens [dot] com. I’ll expect 2 ics files. One using my hack and one using the hack from the original reference. Also, please verify that my hack didn’t work using all versions of Outlook. Thanks.
@Sam – interesting plugin but the issue here is in the creation of the ics file from the ECP plugin and not the RSS feed. I think it’s apples and oranges.
@Rob, any chance on adding the “apply_filters” lines in the function iCalFeed and function googleCalendarLink to the core?
So it was a bit longer than 5 lines. 😉
You will need to add the indicated “add_filters” line to the events-calendar-pro.php file. Then add the code at https://gist.github.com/2831526 to your theme’s functions.php file. This should allow Outlook to add events to it’s primary calendar.
WARNING: This will make your ics file an invalid calendar file to subscribe to. At least it does here.
Dave/Rob, if what I’m thinking about will work its like 5 lines. I’ll post a link to gist when I get the time to do it. Then we’ll have to figure out if it works.
@Ross, in The Events Calendar Settings portion in the Admin part of your site you can change the `Events URL Slug` and `Single Event URL Slug` to whatever you want, `courses` and `course` in your case. I’d have to look into where to make the changes in the widget.
Not sure what you mean by back-end menu.
Here’s the code.
Let’s see if that worked.
