I am sorry to hear that, but it is of course fair enough.
I’m afraid i cannot test my website for theme/plugin conflicts, as we are running a registration for the next round of classes at the moment, and I cannot start implementing big changes that might cause a dysfunction of other plugins / other parts of the website.
But thank you for your help!
And I hope that the other users will find this topic useful 🙂Best,
GosiaHey Nico,
I have good news and bad news 😉
I have given the snippet a try, and I got a new button called “+ iCal Export Series” on my recurring events. Success! However, even though I can download an iCal feed by clicking that button, for some reason the file cannot be read by Google Calendar when i try to import it to my personal calendar (it shows an error). Same happens on my mobile phone (Android).
You can see an example of my recurring events here:
http://happyfeetstudio.dk/event/swing-1-tuesdays/2016-03-15/I have also made a test event only with future dates, just to check if that can have any influence.
http://happyfeetstudio.dk/event/test/2016-04-17/Also, I was rather hoping for a “+ Google Calendar series” button than “+ iCal Export Series” – I think that downloading an ical feed and importing it to Google Calendar takes almost the same time as manually setting up the dates in the calendar itself. So i wanted to get a direct link that would add all dates to Google Calendar without having to download and import feeds first. Is that possible?
Best,
GosiaHi,
Yes, that’s correct 🙂
And your idea sounds interesting. But just to make sure I understand you correctly: will that mean that the snippet would generate one link that will collect all 7 events in one window on Google Calendar’s site?
What I am looking for is a single link that I can use e.g. in our newsletters, next to the class schedule and practical information. And people should be able to click that one link and be redirected to the Google Calendar window, where they can add the series of events into their calendar. It’s ok if it means that they will need to choose which events they want to add by clicking on the individual instances, but it is important that that window shows all instances of the recurring event.A short explanation why this issue is important to me:
Our courses run in rounds, where each round lasts 7 weeks. Sometimes there are some breaks between individual classes (e.g. Easter Break, Fall Break etc), which means that the period of one round can be stretched out to 8 or even 9 weeks. But there will still be only 7 classes during that round, that should be added to the calendar.
The solution that Google Calendar is offering now when i click on the “Add to Google Calendar” button is adding the first event in series, and manually setting up how long the series should last. I want to save my students the hustle of setting it up manually and remembering to include all breaks between classes. Therefore i would like to see if it can be done automatically.So yes, please give the snippet a try, if it can generate one link that would summarize all events in series. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it will work 🙂
Best,
Gosia
