bump :+1:

alternatively, is there a way to import an ICS file on the command line? I noticed cozy-cli supports only 'upcoming' and 'add event' commands. and import command would enable a simple cron script to pull an ICS file from the web and import it regularly as a hold-over until full subscription support.

thanks for your awesome work on cozy, I love the platform architecture!

Hi @gabeos, thank you for your suggestion. Unless someone wants to add that to cozy-cli, I don't think we are going to add it anytime soon. That being said, this issue has a relatively high priority, so we are definitely going to work on that early 2015.

:+1: I personally use this feature a lot to download my calendar from the university.

Please, consider also using the webcal:// links (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webcal) to subscribe to shared calendars.

We just published a workaround via Konnectors. You can now use the dedicated konnector to subscribe to an ICS feed.

I tried to use Konnector in that way but it failed reading the file. Says there's an error on a line (323). Here are the lines 321 to 323 : DESCRIPTION:Dropbox:\nPre-work pour sessions 3-4\n\n\nView event - https:// emlyon.brightspace.com/d2l/le/calendar/17350/event/82623/detailsview?ou=173 50#82623

Hi @FromBabylon,

Thanks for your feedback. Could you describe what you did and what didn't work ? If importing a remote ICS file failed, could you send us this file so we try to parse it? Thanks!

[Lich4r]

Hi,

I just install Konnector, go the Ical Feed, put the target URL of the calendar file click on 'save and import'.

Where can I send it to you ?

Thanks

[frankrousseau]

@FromBabylon Like @clochix said, can you send us the failing URL?

[Lich4r]

Sent to [email protected]

[frankrousseau]

Thx!

[clochix]

Thanks a lot @FromBabylon ☺ @frankrousseau: FTR, the parsing of the file with the latest version of cozy-ical just works fine. Looking at the file, it seems that line 323 starts with a tab instead of a space. I wonder if previous versions of cozy-ical didn't forbid use of tab as continuation character.

[frankrousseau]

I just published a new version of Konnectors including the fix!

[clochix]

@FromBabylon can you update Konnectors to 0.5.1 and try again to import this ICS feed?

[Lich4r]

Sorry had an update problem with Cozy.

So import works now (<3) but events are treated as whole day event, hours are not taken into account

[frankrousseau]

Arg I know from where it comes. I will have a look later tonight.

[Lich4r]

Works :dancers:

Hey everyone, @frankrousseau pulled out a konnector that allows you to import a public ICS feed into your Cozy. If you want to try it out, install the Konnectors application and configure "ical feed". It's only one feed for now, but that's a very good start.

Thank you @frankrousseau!
