Hello Andras,

I am sure you’re doing everything you can – but I am also sure by now that the support at Modern Tribe is everything else then well organized.

Anyways, it’s been over three month of begging for support now. Two days I decided to at least develop a hack that would automate the ICS workaround you proposed. If anyone here is having the same problems as me it might be of help, that’s why I want to share it. It’s not a real fix to the underlying bug. I would still appreciate it if it would get fixed by Modern Tribe.

The idea of the hack is: manual ics import of organizers is still working, so why not download the ical streams as a file to WordPress and start the ‘manual’ import automatically? So this functions, that can be added to the functions.php do exactly that. Hooking into the 15 min cron job of Modern Tribe it checks the scheduled ical imports, grabs the one that has not been imported the longest, downloads it and tells Event Calendar to import the file manually.

Have been testing this intensively during the last two days and just went to the production site with it. Feel free to use it. It’s a hack, so code-wise it’s not the beauty I would like it to be.

As syntax highlighting is not working too well here and I cannot upload php files I’ll give it to you as https://pastebin.com/aSXyeX7M

Hi again.

This feels a little ironic by now as I kind of know the answer, but I’ll ask anyway: have you been able to proceed with this issue? In your last post you promised to get back to me ‘as soon as you have an answer’ – certainly I never got one.

Can’t you see how utterly annoying it is to be told to be patient without having the slightest idea of how long? This can’t really be your idea of customer relations, can it?

If the import of an ics-file works and the http import doesn’t it must be pretty easy for you to analyze and debug the situation. Please do it and please tell me when I am to expect a solution.

Hi András,

as you can imagine I am rather unhappy with the way this has been handled by you guys so far. Its been weeks and weeks of hang in there. Please tell me at least if you are not able or willing to fix this, then I can start looking around for a different solution.

Otherwise please give me something I can work with. I decided for a plugin that is rather costly because I thought I could expect better support from you.
I would even suggest to my client to pay one of your developers to fix it, even though this is clearly a bug on your side. If you like you can give me a quote for that.

This has been more than three month now, please start doing something. Also please start communicating in a way that is not just “hang in there”.

Hi Victor, Hi András,

my site was updated to 4.6.7 but there still seems to be no import of organizers. Check the following event

http://www.evangelische-akademien.de/veranstaltung/rueckkehr-nach-tiamast/

it was last imported today from the following stream

http://ev-akademie-wittenberg.de/programm.ics

Should this be working now?

Hello Andras

Thanks, I’m really looking forward to having this work again.

If the fix arrives in early December the Event Aggregator was useless to me for about two months. Can you offer me any compensation?

Cheers!

[wigwamlocker_3000]

Hi there!

Has the status of this matter changed in any way?

Thanks!

[wigwamlocker_3000]

I cannot confirm that – just tested it and didn’t get any organizers.

Most important for me is the the connection between organizers and events. Do you have any news on that? This has been over a month now – am I the only one using this?

[wigwamlocker_3000]

I’ve been waiting for another two weeks now – as far as I can tell the organizers are still not being imported. Can you give me an update on this issue pls?

[wigwamlocker_3000]

Hallo Andras,

thanks for your reply. This renders the Event Aggregator useless for us at the moment. Can you give me any insight if this is a matter of days or weeks?

How will I find out when a fix is available? Is there a public ticket or something? I cannot find the problem with the known issues on this site. I imagine that this is an issue that will be fixed on the Aggregator servers – so presumably I will not have to do any updates?

Thanks for your help!

Dear George,

thanks for the update. I am not able to confirm that this is working. I tried to import the following file through ICalendar feed or ICS file upload and did not get different start/end values. It still just fills the end date and time with the start date/time.

Can you confirm you are able to import end time and date?

Thanks!

[wigwamlocker_3000]

Just tried with another file which is working when I import it through an URL but not through ICS upload:

[wigwamlocker_3000]

Dear Hunter,

can confirm that this is not working, tried with http://seerosen.dev.wigwam.im/TagungenV10_modified.ics.

Does the Aggregator support this at all?

Thanks for your reply. At the moment I am trying to import this file via the ICS import feature, getting the above mentioned error message.

My debug log says:

[10-Nov-2016 21:00:39 UTC] PHP Notice: Undefined index: source in /Users/phil/Sites/ead/wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/Tribe/Aggregator/Record/Abstract.php on line 511

Dear Hunter,

thanks for your reply. I am aware that I can add categories manually. When I use CSV I can have different categories for each event in the CSV file. I am wondering if I can do the same in an iCalendar feed with each VEVENT.

Example:

BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:2.0
PRODID:-//hacksw/handcal//NONSGML v1.0//EN
CALSCALE:GREGORIAN
BEGIN:VEVENT
UID:123
TZID:Europe/Berlin
DTSTART:20171110T153000Z
DTEND:20171111T170000Z
DTSTAMP:20160824T144821Z
LOCATION:somewhere
ORGANIZER:someone
CATEGORIES:some category, some other category
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR

Thanks!

Philipp

It is consistent for all events.
