Terrific, thank you.
August 30, 2012 at 5:51 am in reply to: Line breaks in event description lost in ical file for Outlook subscribers #24337MattParticipantDaniel, yes, it appears to be breaking correctly:
http://d.pr/i/hZ6xI tested as a single event import and as an event on a subscribed calendar.
August 28, 2012 at 6:48 am in reply to: Line breaks in event description lost in ical file for Outlook subscribers #24194MattParticipant…I wondered if that happen. The HTML tags were stripped from my last example. I’ll try that again:
With Casey’s mod, I get this:
— [event description begin] —
[open paragraph tag] Line 1 [break tag]
— [ event description end] —August 28, 2012 at 6:45 am in reply to: Line breaks in event description lost in ical file for Outlook subscribers #24193MattParticipantOk, I just noticed something I missed before that may be helpful. All proposed mods have completely removed all lines past the first paragraph break. I just set up an example event that should break after each line (skipping lines 4 and 6 just to see what would happen):

— [event description begin] —
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3Line 5
Line 7
— [ event description end] —Currently, if no change is made the core file, the event description displays like this:
— [event description begin] —
Line 1 Line 2 Line 3 Line 5 Line 7
— [ event description end] —With the 1st and 2nd suggested mods by Andy, I get this:
— [event description begin] —
Line 1
— [ event description end] —With Casey’s mod, I get this:
— [event description begin] —
Line 1
— [ event description end] —Hope this helps.
August 28, 2012 at 5:51 am in reply to: Line breaks in event description lost in ical file for Outlook subscribers #24188MattParticipantI tried
$description = $eventPost->post_content;
…still no luck.August 27, 2012 at 12:48 pm in reply to: Line breaks in event description lost in ical file for Outlook subscribers #24153MattParticipantI just tried the Line 351 mod, per Andy’s suggestion, but nothing changed. I deleted and resubscribed to the calendar in case anything was cached, but still no difference with regard to line breaks.
Thanks for the suggestion though. Much appreciated.

Thanks for checking back on this. I’m interested in using Outlook to subscribe to a web calendar. I can do it, but the content pulled from the server does not preserve the line breaks. It’s a workable solution, just not very pretty. I know it’s possible for other subscribed calendars (such as Google Calendars) to preserve the breaks so I thought I’d ask if there was a way to do so with Events Calendar Pro.
To answer your question, no, I’m not interested in any import options, such as a CSV import (I can import the iCal file) because importing is a one-time operation that won’t work well for calendars that change often. Hope that helps.

The calendar is public, so I’ll just direct you there.
Here’s the events calendar URL:
http://commons.lander.edu/kb/events/Here’s an example event:
http://commons.lander.edu/kb/event/how-to-construct-a-syllabus/Everything displays as it should on the website: This event shows some bold formatting around “PRESENTERS” and a bulleted list item along with some extra line breaks.
However, the ical version does not preserve any of the line breaks. I’m ok with the plain text version (don’t need html tags), but would like line breaks to be preserved, if possible.
Event as it appears in Outlook:
http://d.pr/i/OkhUHere are the instructions I published for our faculty members to subscribe to this calender via Outlook:
http://commons.lander.edu/kb/add-knowledgebase-events-to-outlook/Thanks for looking into this.
MattParticipantMaybe it’s just me, but could you put your search at the top of the page instead of at the bottom?
MattParticipantWe’d REALLY like to have the week view as well. Thanks!
