Icalsrv - exporting past appointments too

eeek 2010-07-29 07:47:21 UTC #1

Dear developers,

I am using icalsrv (I know, it is outdated) to get an ICS file of all
appointments of a specific user in eGroupware.
This ICS file is then automatically imported into an external calendar via
cron job. The external calender only supports importing one ICS file,
therefore I’m stuck with icalsrv.

Everything works so far, except that the dates in the ICS file are only the
current and future ones.
I would like to also have the past appointments in the ICS file, but can’t
figure out how to do it.

In the file [egroupware]/icalsrv/inc/class.virtual_calendar.inc.php I found
the function
function _fn_month_start($offset = 0)
and tried to set the offset from 0 to -24.

Tried the same in the file
[egroupware]/icalsrv/inc/class.personal_vircal_ardb.inc.php

Unfortunately in both cases nothing changed in the events.ics file creation,
the past appointments don’t show.

I would really appreciate if someone could tell me what I have to do to. I
can’t figure it out…

You want something in return? I’ll send you some German Beers, a nice
postcard, a DVD, whatever it takes if it is not too expensive…

Thanks so much,

Emil

Resending the same mail three times now, only lowers your chances of
getting an answer!

I personally not answering it, as iCalSrv is deprecated and I want to
discourage people from using it. Anyway it will not be part of the
upcoming 1.8 release (planned for August).

Sorry, I did not indend on sending it three times.
Nabble was telling me that it has not been accepted by the list, and one
solution was to resend it, and that’s what I did.
Please accept my apologies.

The thing is that the external calendar only supports one ICS file for
import, and CalDav creates multiple ICS files.
So I’m currently stuck with icalsrv, unless someone has a better idea…

Best regards,

Emiliano
