Hello, I tried out the plugin because it appeared to be just what I was looking for, but unfortunately, it is not generating ics files with the correct specified date/time.
Here is a sample shortcode generated by the “Add Event” editor button; note the date & time:
[ics_button subject="Test Event" description="This is a test" location="Somewhere" start-date="2015-02-14 9:00" end-date="2015-02-14 11:00"]Add to Calendar[/ics_button]
This is the content of an event.ics file generated & downloaded when clicking on the link on the front-end:
BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:2.0
BEGIN:VTIMEZONE
TZID:UTC
END:VTIMEZONE
BEGIN:VEVENT
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:This is a test
DTSTART:20140624T130000
DTEND:20140624T140000
LOCATION:Somewhere
SUMMARY:Test Event
TRANSP:TRANSPARENT
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR
For some reason, whatever date/time I specify, the ics generated always has the same date/time of from 06/24/2014 01:00AM to 06/24/2014 02:00AM.
Regards
]]>I would like to use this plugin with Formidable Pro (which is a great pro plugin that allows users to make forms, views, and connections with the database). I can essentially make the front-end form for events with Formidable, but I am having trouble making the Formidable entry variables (shortcodes) work with the ICS plugin.
Ex: [ics_button subject=”[if 157][157][/if 157]” description=”[if 175][175][/if 175]” location=”[if 165][165] [166] [158], [158] [182] [183] [186][/if 165]” start-date=”[if 159][159][/if 159] [if 162][162][/if 162]” end-date=”[if 161][161][/if 161] [if 163][163][/if 163]”]<img src=”mywebsite.com/wp-content/plugins/ics-button/plugin/img/Calendar-Add.png” alt=”Add to Calendar” width=”110″ />[/ics_button]
Is there anyway to allow the event title, description, start and end dates and times be dynamically controlled by those kinds of shortcodes, so that a form can supply the data to the ICS dynamically?
This would seem to solve the idea of having the event be created by the front-end.
Btw, this plugin is a great idea, that is only going to grow (in terms of its utility value). Thanks!
]]>I would love to be able to use this, as it fits perfectly with what I need, but no code is generated on the page – it’s just the image. Hope to hear from the developer!
]]>Hi,
I’ve just tested ICS button but when I click on it the file has no name when I use Chrome (version 35).
But if I use Firefox (latest too), it works fine.
I didn’t tried on IE.
Thanks
]]>The ICS Button plugin is installed, but I don’t see it as a button option in Ultimate Tinymce admin settings or in the Ultimate Tinymce editor.
How do I turn on ICS Button and make it visible in Tinymce.
]]>Hi Joe,
Thanks for creating this – exactly what I needed.
Does it work with 3.9?
If you don’t mind helping me, as I’m new to wordpress, I am wondering if I can use your widget to allow users/visitors to schedule events with me during a certain time frame. For example…
“Schedule a 15 minute chat with us”
[Google Calendar showing availability from 1-2 each weekday for chats]
[ICS Button Widget with phrase “Click Here to Schedule” underneath it]
Thoughts? Thanks!
