Thanks for the feedback. I am aware that the ical file doesn’t
cleanly import into outlook – a quick search of the error message on the
web leads me to believe others are having similar problems – if you can
modify the file such that outlook will accept it and then provide me that file
I might be able to get the ical export to match it. Parenthetically, upon reviewing
rfc 2445 it appears that commas, semi colons, and slashes need to be escaped in
the description text. This fixes the koffice import problem but doesn’t
seem to help the outlook import. I still need to verify it doesn’t break
the mac ical import. Regarding the vcal format, I need to
review the spec to make sure I understand how to deal with events that do not
have an associated time (only a date). If you can post a sample of what the
vcal vevent should look like it may save some work. Also, it would be nice to
understand how to properly handle an event that has a start date but not a stop
date. In ical I’m using a stop time of midnight and in vcal I’m not
including the DTEND at all. Finally, if someone wants to verify that timezones
in vcal work the same as in ical I can then add them to the vcal export for church-wide
events. Regarding the ward directory, I’m
hopeful this calendar export will prove useful enough to convince those who own
the decision to allow the same for the ward list. pete From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Peter, I tried using this feature yesterday to do an import into Outlook 2003.
I got an error with the iCal format saying it was an invalid file so I used the
vCal format instead. The import seemed to work but many of the events actually
showed up a day early in Outlook (than the day the appear on the online
calendar) -- it doesn't happen with every event, just some of them -- it may
just be with events that don't have a time associated with them (at least the
time doesn't show up on the month view). Are you aware of this bug? Has the church also considered making a ward directory download
available as well? Making it easy to import the ward list into electronic
devices would also be a big win. -aaron On 2/7/06, Peter
