[Plugin: Events Manager] Daylight Saving Time problem

don’t uninstall, delete! you’ll get a stern warning from EM anyway before any data from the DB gets deleted.

try clicking check dev versions button and then visit your plugins page maybe? alternatively, just update manually – https://downloads.www.ads-software.com/plugin/events-manager.zip

Thanks for the clarification, Marcus.

Just done that. I’ve just removed the installation, reinstalled the latest dev version. Still the same error when manually trying to import the .ics file.

Secondly I don’t think I have any template file overriding anything – how would I check?

e.g. rename your plugins folder within your theme folder.

I forgot to mention another thing, maybe you need to take the apostrophe off your site name, does that help?

Hi Marcus,
I tried removing the apostrophe from both the site title and the EM location name. This of course removed the “&#8217\;” codes from the ics file. I still get the same error message when trying to import the ics file in to google calendar. I have now reinstated the apostrophe in both site name and location name.

I can’t find a ‘plugins’ folder within the theme folder – can you confirm the path I should be looking at for it? Do all themes have a plugin folder inside them?

Thanks
Ian .
PS. I am running the latest dev version: V 5.1.6.5

my fault! I fixed the problem, but commented out the headers in the dev version whilst testing and forgot to uncomment, creating another problem!

Try now, just released 5.1.6.6 dev version

on my google calendar your events load into the calendar but then it terminates and the events get removed immediately, I’m guessing that’s why.

Hi Marcus,
Just tried v5.1.6.6 – sadly I am still getting the same error when importing in to google calendar:

Processed zero events.
Failed to import events: Unable to process your ical/CSV file..
Error at line 15: Expected [VEVENT], read [VEVENT0]

I’ve been doing a little bit of digging and I saved the ics file on my computer and then made the following changes:

(See: https://icalvalid.cloudapp.net/?id=_634713045772358457 for line numbers)

Lines: 15,24,33,42,51 etc
Change “END:VEVENT0” to “END:VEVENT”

Line: 303
Change “END:VEVENT3600” to “END:VEVENT”

With those changes the calendar imports in to Google calendar with no problems (apart from the location/where field reading “Ian’s Studio” and not “Ian’s Studio”

Ian.

PS – The DST problem is solved when the file does import!

I think you have a different problem entirely now!

can you please re-post this on a new topic? this is now too long to read through.

that extra 0 just doesn’t happen to me. in fact, I can’t even guess how that happens to you, I looked at where we output this information and it doesn’t add up. I’d suggest trying to download an ICS file with plugins disabled and/or using a default theme.

I already opened a topic regarding this issue; https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/plugin-events-manager-ical-url-not-working-with-google?replies=3#post-2787904

let’s keep it on there then.

this comment could be closed, because the DST problem should be fixed now (and if it isn’t post a new topic anyway pls!)

Which version was this fixed in?

Already in https://downloads.www.ads-software.com/plugin/events-manager.5.1.6.zip or still just in a dev version? Where can I view the SVN commit log? From the WP plugin directory there is only a link to https://plugins.svn.www.ads-software.com/events-manager/ that only shows the files and I’d rather not checkout this SVN folder merely to view its commit log.

I’m running the latest 5.1.6 and my events.ics does not calculate DST correctly – I assume this bug is now fixed but not yet released?

Apache error logs show:
[Mon May 07 07:19:34 2012] [error] [client 81.43.158.144] PHP Warning: date() expects parameter 2 to be long, string given in /shr/wordpress-plugins/events-manager-5.1.6/templates/templates/ical.php on line 36

Is it related to this bug?
