            Email attachment uses the wrong file extension
            Asked 2022-Mar-04 at 14:49

            I am working on some code that will create an iCalendar and then send an Outlook email with an ics file of the created event, it works as intended but there is one problem.

            When the email gets sent, the attachment is given the wrong name (ATT00001.bin instead of Meeting.ics) and it isn't sent as a .ics but as a .bin. The contents of the file are still just as they are supposed to be.

            Any help is appreciated, thanks!

            So I figured it out. When I was making the email, I was using the cakephp 4 cookbook. There it said that: "The mimetype and contentId are optional in this form." and I made the mistake of just assuming that I didn't need it.

            The mimetype for a ics file is text/calendar so I just added this to my setAttachments like this:

            Generating and sending .ics file that automatically adds an event to a user's calendar
            Asked 2022-Jan-24 at 19:20

            Right now we're using the icalendar gem to generate an ics file that we send via email.

            While this does give the user a convenient "Add to my Calendar" button through email, it does not automatically add the event to the user's calendar too, making it so the user still has to do that manual step themselves.

            Is there any way to make it so that the event is automatically added to the user's calendar? This has been hard to find a solution for.

            This requires a bit more understanding of calendars.

            They use .ics files as a format for events, but calendars require users to add those events to their calendars.

            For pure automation you must ask the user to "Authenticate with {Google/Outlook/ETC}" and provide "authorize read/write access to app".

            Then you would be able to automatically add events to calendar.

            Another way is to create a calendar RSS Feed and instruct the user to import your RSS feed into their calendars. You can make the URL unique to the user, requiring an API token or something so that its not purely public.

            Get repeating events with icalendar
            Asked 2021-Nov-26 at 15:25

            I use the icalendar package to work with my downloaded google calendar .ics file

            I want to support recurring meetings, they have this line in the .ics file: RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;WKST=MO;UNTIL=20211224T225959Z;BYDAY=TH

            I'm parsing all entries to my custom Entry-Class for further processing. I do this with for entry in cal.walk() and check if the entry is a VEVENT. Is there a way without manually parsing this RRULE line and create new entries for every repeated calendar entry?

            For example: I have something every week for the next 12 weeks and I want a unique entry for every week.

            I read the documentation, but it's pretty limited and browsing the source code did not help.

            Asked 2021-Oct-23 at 05:05

            I am newbie in Python and I'm trying to parse and .ics file using iCalendar python lib. I want to filter and write events where attendee is 10059707 into a new file named example.ics. When trying print, it still prints 2 events as shown below but only writes the last 1 event to the new file

            ANSWER

            Answered 2021-Oct-23 at 05:05

            You are opening the example.ics file in write mode, which overrides existing content if there was any, and write new one, which justifies why you're only getting one entry, and I guess that entry should be the last iteration of your loop.

            One solution could be opening the file in append mode with a or a+.

            Another solution could be simply opening your file outside the loop - before the line for event3 in component.walk():. This way, you would keep the file open while you are in the loop, and write all you need to write. Then close the file at the end of the loop (outside the loop too).

            Welcome to the joys of daylight saving changes and timezones. Somewhere there someone is viewing dates with a timezone set as most people do, this is expected. There are 2 dates there, and it appears one is one side of a daylight saving change and the other is on the other side.

            Unlike UTC some timezones have daylight saving and of course timezones don't change from/to daylight saving at the same time, so lots potential for multiple time differences to appear to be inconsistent across events.

            If we take London as an example, on the 8 of November 2021, london time is same as UTC time:

            https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingtime.html?day=8&month=11&year=2021&p1=195&p2=136&iv=0

            However on 25 October 2021, at 6am UTC time, London is 7am.

            https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meetingtime.html?iso=20211025&p2=195&p3=136

            Always check what timezones are set on every device and calendar app and be alert around daylight saving changes.

            iCalendar (.ics) feed, how to force calendar client to stop the subscription
            Asked 2021-Aug-08 at 02:17

            I have an online service where it lets people subscribe to iCalendar feed. I'm wondering if there is a way to force the subscriber (their Calendar client) to stop their subscription. I have one subscriber who is subscribed to a feed that doesn't exist anymore. The annoying part is that this subscriber is fetching the data every 4 seconds!

            I looked at iCalendar specification and it doesn't look like this is supported.

            I tried few http response codes (404 and 410), but this doesn't stop the client.

            The user agent I'm seeing in the log shows "iOS/12.5.4 (16H50) dataaccessd/1.0".

            Any help is appreciated.

            text/calendar is the response content-type, which typically would go as an "Accept" header:
