iCal export broken

Opened this issue · 3 comments

iCal gives the following error: The data downloaded from webcal://www.uwflow.com/schedule/ical/QR9HVJ0F0.ics isn’t valid. Please bring back the download in .ics format so that a subscription isn't necessary.

A fix to calendar generation has just been made. Can you please check if it resolved the issue?

You can also download the calendar directly by replacing webcal: with https: in the link.

Now clicking iCal export takes me to Google Calendar (as does Google Calendar export)

My guess is that you have your browser configured to open webcal links in Google Calendar, which the latter will ask you to do when you first open it. If this is the case and you use Chrome, your chrome://settings/handlers will look like this:
2019-03-23_23-24-27

  • If you use Chrome, you can remove this association by expanding the menu shown in the screenshot in the bottom right and clicking "Remove". Then the second export option should no longer take you to Google Calendar, but instead offer you to open the link in iCal. This option seems to be much more involved if you use Safari.
  • You can use this link to simply download the .ics file and then import it to iCal without subscription functionality. This option is not exposed in the web interface at the moment.
