Sorry Steven, my bad. I see what’s creating the file. Just to confirm, you are using v2.0.6? What changes to the PHP did you make? I might be simpler to fix this problem if we all know your using a non-modified events-calendar-pro.php file.
Steven,
What program/app created the ics file? Also, as Johah said and example would help a lot. What PHP file did you edit?
Jonah/Joey,
I decided to rewrite this as a WP plugin that way all anyone else who wants this functionality has to do is download the plugin and activate it. They will also need to create the Additional Field as described above, but this way they won’t have to change their own theme functions.php file. And if/when tri.be incorporates similar functionality all that has to be done is deactivate the plugin.
You can get it, pound on the code, or otherwise enhance, improve or change it from GitHub.

If I need to add/change anything so I’m not infringing on tri.be’s work etc. let me know. It’s the last thing I want to do.
Thanks,
AndyJonah,
Excellent, I’m so glad there’s a way to add this without modifying the core. I just didn’t know how. I’m glad you put in the filter hooks. This is beautiful.
I made few changes to the code which you and Joey can look at here.

I added a test for test for is_numeric in addition to the empty test. That and the string conversion to integer is unnecessary.
Thanks,
AndyRob I’m just pleased that, as developers, you guys have been very receptive to fixes by users. The level of support you’ll provide and the followup is exemplary.
Joey, full name is Andy Fragen.
Only question re: event’s occurrence timestamp, if there are they truly unique for each instance of a repeating event. The last bit of PHP code I sent will definitely work and only gets added when the ICS file is created/recreated. If the event’s occurrence timestamp is the value being used for the DTSTAMP then it’s not random. I have multiple repeats of this for repeating events. But hey, if the value is random and already created it’s clearly faster to reference it than create it each time, though not by any significant amount.
Your welcome.
AndyIf you’re so inclined a more random salt can be added using the following php.
base_convert(mt_rand(0x19A100, 0x39AA3FF), 10, 36)
instead of
rand(1,10000)
This will result in a 5 character random number/string, between: 10000 to zzzzz
@Rob – I think I fixed the problem for this thread. I sent you several emails with the solution where you can test.
The issue seemed to be that the UID event tag for repeating events was not unique. My solution was to add a random salt to the UID tag generated so that they are ALL unique.
Change line 380 of events-calendar-pro.php to the following.
$item[] = “UID:” . $eventPost->ID . rand(1,10000) . “@” . $blogHome;
@Rob – Do we have a solution in the works for the original problem of some repeating events displaying in the calendar but not displaying in a iCal calendar subscription?

WP Updates Notifier 1.2Rob, I’m saying 2 things. First, I used to be able to Control-click the URL http://troop262ps.org/events/ical and download an ics fiile. I can no longer do this. What happens is a web page listing of events is produced. Second, when I try to subscribe to the ics using the URL, webcal://troop262ps.org/events/ical, there is an error of an invalid ics.
Unfortunately something’s changed such that I cannot download the generated ics file to see what’s wrong.
