Hey there!<\/p>\n
My team and I here have been endlessly pulling out our hair to figure out the duplicate events thing when coming from an Office 365 calendar. It’s been crazy. I do know that Office 365 doesn’t create persistant UIDs which causes some big problems.<\/p>\n
The purpose of this thread is to ask a couple questions and possibly make some suggestions.<\/p>\n
When I import an Office 365 calendar into Google or my Mac’s iCalendar, neither my Google Calendar or iCalendar ever cause duplicate events on the .ics feed refresh. I know you’re not Google or Apple, so you don’t have access to their code; somehow though, they’re able to circumvent an Office 365 feed from causing duplicates upon import.<\/p>\n
How exactly? Beats me. <\/p>\n
Maybe there’s a temporary fix that can be instituted though. What would the possibility be of every time before<\/em> running the import, it removed previous events brought in from that same feed?<\/p>\n It’s not pretty, and may require changing the DB structure slightly to record which events are associated with a feed (side note: that would be helpful for managing the events in the DB also when required), but perhaps that could circumvent the issue. <\/p>\n Judging by the number of posts in the forum about duplicate events, it seems that this is an issue affecting a lot of people, and may be worth considering. All of our schools use Outlook 365, and we have the MS license for TEC; however, as it’s turning out, it’s not really doing us much good at this point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1373262","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\n
