iCal Format for OvR Calendar? #43

Open jeksulu opened 11 years ago

jeksulu commented 11 years ago

This is to respond to the notion that @AJ-Acevedo thinks may be a good idea. Not top priority, but when we get around to it... iCal version of the OvR Cal?

From regular guest:

Would you be willing to publish your event calendar as an iCal feed? It would allow your calendar to be viewed as an overlay on Google Calendar or Outlook, etc., so your events can be seen in a consolidated view with whatever else I happen to select.

If your site is built on Drupal, or some such thing, your web builder can find a component which should do it all for you.

I was poking around in the Event Manager settings and it looks like there is iCal support baked in.

jeksulu commented 10 years ago

@AJ-Acevedo Seeing that and understanding it... not the same, haha. What does this mean and how might you see this utilized? Is this the Events Manager that we are planning to scrap? Meaning the current cal function?

Any chance you've been able to look into the ability to customize the current Event Manager settings?

Maybe we are talking about 2 different things here... is the Event Manager the cal function we currently have?

AJ-Acevedo commented 10 years ago

@jeksulu Yes, the Event Manager is the calendar function.

jeksulu commented 10 years ago

@nedlymandico - Does the cal we are going with have this functionality? If not, is there a way to offer this simply? Perhaps on the cal page theres a "Download in iCal or something? Not sure...

Another option could simply be to create a shared public Google Calendar under the override@gmail.com account that can be maintained by staff/admin peeps like Matt.

That actually does exist ... . Just only use it internally if at all On Nov 5, 2013 2:50 PM, "AJ" notifications@github.com wrote:

Is this a viable solution? If so we could add a subscribe to the calendar link on the events page that links to the google calendar subscription. Which should close this issue.

This popped up again via a customer email suggestion. I think we should setup calendars two ways. 1) A calendar feed of all events with subscriptions, probably a button under the existing "view full calendar button"

2) on the product page generate an ics file for the event that the customer can manually add to their calendar, this will be part of the trips plugin

Some resources (mostly so I don't forget about them) ics file spec The Events Calendar Plugin Stack Exchange question about ics files

@ huebschie found a nice piece of javascript which should help with all of this. I'm confident it will work with the site and pretty sure we can get this working in emails.
