ICal subscription

Hi Jubee,

I don’t understand what you mean with “the first day”? Does date of events not match the dates in iCal feed?

Guido

Hi Guido,

I mean, I have events for three days: May, 4th, 5th and 6th 2022, but in my Thunderbird calender only appear events for 5th an 6th.

Jubee

Hi,

I think I know what’s happening here…

Via Settings > Reading you can set the amount of posts for feed. The feed will show this amount of most recent events. This means if you have a lot of upcoming events, only the first x will be added to the feed.

I notice your feed contains 10 events. Do you have more than 10 upcoming events? In that case increase the numer via Settings > Reading.

Guido

Ah, great hint, thanks. I set to 20 now. But it does not work, sorry.

Times are totally wrong, also, I notice just by now. (11.30 instead of 9.30 by example)

I already switched everything off an an again.

But take a break – it does not have to work before Christmas :-).

Hi,

What is the Date Format set on page Setting > General?

It must be UTC or a country/town (no offset such as UTC+2).

Some calendars use the UTC time, so in that case you must activate that via plugin settingspage.

And on which page are your upcoming events listed?

Guido

Time setting is Berlin, what is right and the same as in my thunderbird lightning calendar, where the strange times occur.

And page is for example this one:
https://weltweitwissen2022.de/der-kongress/programm/tag-1/

Hi,

Different time zones are a frustrating thing for developers..

For example this event at your website:
T1 | Kennenlernen
Date: may 4
Time: 15:00:15:15

Becomes in your feed:
T1 | Kennenlernen
Date: may 4
Time: 17:00:17:15

My Outlook calendar is the same.

So the feed has a 2 hour offset.

Did you already activate UTC via plugin settings?

Guido

Thanks a lot.
I finally activated UTC via plugin – first didn’t get, what you meant.
And 30 feed postst made it!

Have nice holidays!

Great, and I can confirm the feed contains correct time now.
But it’s still a bit strange, because there was a 2-hour offset but your timezone Berlin is UTC+1.

Guido

Hi again,

FYI: in next update I will remove the timezone setting from plugin settingspage because it turned out not to work properly. This means it will now use date/time as stored in the database, no timezone added. In your case this is how it should be.

Guido
