I have a web app that contains many specific events for users in a MySQL database. I want to generate one .ics file that users can download that contains all of these events.
I'm not able to get Microsoft Outlook 2003 to acknowledge anything past the first event in my ICS file. Are there any known workarounds for this issue? Or am I doing anything wrong?
Here's my ICS file contents:
BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:1.0
BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTART:20120222T120000
DTEND:20120222T123000

Thanks.
You can try with only one calendar with multiple events:
BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:1.0
BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTART:20120222T120000

I have an ics file which is generated by a project I am doing, and it validates in http://severinghaus.org/projects/icv/. When I try to import it into KOrganizer or Maya it only loads the most recent event however. For example, the ics file is:

It will read it in, but only display the first event. It also changes the ics file to

Does anyone know if it is my ics file which is at fault, or Kontact?
Well, for one thing, every event must have a unique UID property..
I use ical and darwin in my web site.
when i create a event with rrule, it failed when the event has byday and count.
Forexample:
success 1(weekly and no count):

I think the difference is the rrule, but i could not find the reason~
Your master component has
DTSTART:20130411T050000
but your exception has
RECURRENCE-ID:20130413T053000
The recurrence id should always match one of (expanded) instances of the event. The date part is correct (20130413 is the saturday following the first instance) but the time part is 053000 when the first instance shows a time part of 050000.
In other words, your recurrence-id should be:
RECURRENCE-ID:20130413T050000
there is nothing wrong in your rrule, but however RFC5545 ยง3.8.4.7 specifies
"UID" itself MUST be a globally unique identifier and in all 3 of your icalendar files you are using the same UID. Have you tried with each event having a different UID to see how the server handles it?
