Add abilitiy to export Calendar to standard format #94

Closed nvgoldin closed 4 years ago

nvgoldin commented 4 years ago

It would be great if you could export the calendar to iCal format - this would allow to import it to Google Calendar for example. Later on also support for subscribing to an iCal link can be added.

An important issue. Maybe it would be simpler to start from export to PDF, so the the user would be able to store his schedule locally.

nvgoldin commented 4 years ago

@matanel-oren I started working on it.. currently implementing it as a backend feature, so you could download the event in .ics format. Turned out to be a bit more complex than I thought :)

matanel-oren commented 4 years ago

I didn't open a separate issue for downloading as PDF, so please don't close this issue before it is done also.

nvgoldin commented 4 years ago

@matanel-oren cool, maybe we can combine efforts? see my PR - probably can use the same mechanism (schedule_export.py), would only require doing the conversion to events (i.e. add another method def as_pdf(...))

asaf-kali commented 4 years ago

Why is download as pdf needed? After being able to export as .ics, it looks redundant, isn't it?

nvgoldin commented 4 years ago

@asaf-kali good point, dunno actually. I don't like PDFs :) but maybe people do have a use case for that. I agree its not the ideal format for calendar events.
