You need to consider three points in order to add events automatically: Email Header iCalendar Method ATTENDEE information the “VEVENT” calendar component Email Header In order to get the email client to parse correctly the attached .ics file, you should add the scheduling method and MIME information to the email headers. This is specified by … Read more
OK, looks like I’m answering my own question. The correct way to do it is to use “\n” for line breaks. Outlook did not recognize this because I had “ENCODING=quoted-printable” on the description. Once I removed that, Outlook displayed the new lines correctly. Also, to get the file to open correctly in Apple iCal, you … Read more
File gets created in the same way as the original ics file. The event status will be different. UID will identify the event and sequence number will indicate priority of update, and then the event details will be noted (changes or cancellations) If you want to change/cancel an event after sending out an invitation, you … Read more
This should be very simple if Google Calendar does not require the *.ics-extension (which will require some URL rewriting in the server). $ical = “BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:2.0 PRODID:-//hacksw/handcal//NONSGML v1.0//EN BEGIN:VEVENT UID:” . md5(uniqid(mt_rand(), true)) . “@yourhost.test DTSTAMP:” . gmdate(‘Ymd’).’T’. gmdate(‘His’) . “Z DTSTART:19970714T170000Z DTEND:19970715T035959Z SUMMARY:Bastille Day Party END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR”; //set correct content-type-header header(‘Content-type: text/calendar; charset=utf-8’); header(‘Content-Disposition: … Read more
I’ve continued to do some testing and have now managed to get Outlook to update and cancel events based on the .cs file. Outlook in fact seems to respond to the rules defined in RFC 2446 In summary you have to specify METHOD:REQUEST and ORGANIZER:xxxxxxxx in addition to UID: and SEQUENCE: For a cancellation you … Read more
I use DDay.Ical, its good stuff. Has the ability to open up an ical file and get its data in a nice object model. It says beta, but it works great for us. Edit Nov 2016 This library has been deprecated, but was picked up and re-released as iCal.NET by another dev. Notes about the … Read more
below is what worked for me sending invites via python over gmail (worked with google calendar, outlook and outlook.com (live/hotmail): import smtplib from email.MIMEMultipart import MIMEMultipart from email.MIMEBase import MIMEBase from email.MIMEText import MIMEText from email.Utils import COMMASPACE, formatdate from email import Encoders import os,datetime CRLF = “\r\n” login = “[email protected]” password = “yourpassword” attendees … Read more
The icalendar package looks nice. For instance, to write a file: from icalendar import Calendar, Event from datetime import datetime from pytz import UTC # timezone cal = Calendar() cal.add(‘prodid’, ‘-//My calendar product//mxm.dk//’) cal.add(‘version’, ‘2.0’) event = Event() event.add(‘summary’, ‘Python meeting about calendaring’) event.add(‘dtstart’, datetime(2005,4,4,8,0,0,tzinfo=UTC)) event.add(‘dtend’, datetime(2005,4,4,10,0,0,tzinfo=UTC)) event.add(‘dtstamp’, datetime(2005,4,4,0,10,0,tzinfo=UTC)) event[‘uid’] = ‘20050115T101010/[email protected]’ event.add(‘priority’, 5) cal.add_component(event) … Read more
function extractSummary(iCalContent) { var rx = /\nSUMMARY:(.*)\n/g; var arr = rx.exec(iCalContent); return arr[1]; } You need these changes: Put the * inside the parenthesis as suggested above. Otherwise your matching group will contain only one character. Get rid of the ^ and $. With the global option they match on start and end of the … Read more
You are missing the iTIP method, both in the content-type: Content-Type: text/calendar; charset=”utf-8″; method=REQUEST and as a VCALENDAR property as well: BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:2.0 METHOD:REQUEST PRODID:-//GourmetPortal//NONSGML rr//DE The method might be PUBLISH or REQUEST (in which case you also miss some ATTENDEE property). Then, some clients are ignoring iMIP in multipart/alternative and are looking only as … Read more
