Copy IMAGE in .ics file

Hello @blevley,

Thanks for reaching out to us.

Glad to know that you like our plugin. please find updates on your questions below.

One recommendation is to throw a readable error message when a file is not formatted correctly, it took me some time to find the error in my .ics file
==> We have done some major improvements in iCal import, which will be release in our upcoming release.(we have already released it in Pro version.)

The facebook import neatly copies the image of an event, but import a .ics file seems to ignore this?
==> Generally there is no event image URL in .ics file can you please provide a field name under that you are providing image so we can look into that.

Hi, thanks for the prompt reply.
When I look at the event.ics file from Events Manager, there is a line like:
ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://i2.wp.com/www.blevley.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/art-futura1.jpg?fit=677%2C840&ssl=1

I added a line to the ICS file with ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:<url of image>, but that is just ignored.

I added something to my original post, which you probably didn’t see:
Another useful addition would be to be able to assign an owner when importing events, I’m going to be adding people to maintain events, but I don’t want them to use this tool, that is something I want to control myself.

Again, thanks for the great work.

Hello @blevley,

Thanks for your detailed reply, Currently we are not importing images in iCal import. we will add this in our future release. Also, assign an owner to import events is very useful feature. we will add this in our future release. currently adding it to TODO.

Thanks for great feature suggestions.

Thanks.
