I think the problem with the vcal is that I stripped the time off of all-day events. Without a time the client appears to assume “T000000Z”, which is midnight UTC. For me that would be 5 PM local time the previous day, which is when the event shows up on my calendar. Adding T000000 to the DTSTART should fix the problem.
I expect a similar problem exists with ical exports for people living west of SLC * as we are effectively stating the event starts at midnight Mountain time, which is still the previous day for people to the west. For ical I should probably not put the timezone info for all day events and I should in those cases use the VALUE=DATE parameter to avoid associating a time with the event. Poking around I also found the reason why the ical file doesn’t import into outlook * it needed the DTSTAMP field. That will be an easy fix. pete _____________________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 08, 2006 6:59 AM To: "LDS Open Source Software" <ldsoss@lists.ldsoss.org> Subject: Re: [Ldsoss] Stake/Ward Web Site Utilities Jeff Raymond wrote: > I can verify the Outlook 2003 bug with events that don’t have an > assigned time. They import as the day before the actual event. Yes, there is a problem with "all day" events with the vcal export. The problem shows up in Apple iCal as well when I import the calendar as a vcal file. Pete, It looks like you are missing the "RRULE" line. For an all day event I had to do something like: BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:General Conference DTSTART:20041003T050000Z RRULE:D1 20041003T050000Z END:VEVENT I think if you add the RRULE it will fix the problem. -stacey. _______________________________________________ Ldsoss mailing list Ldsoss@lists.ldsoss.org http://lists.ldsoss.org/mailman/listinfo/ldsoss ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ NOTICE: This email message is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
