Calendar feed writing over new information

    I really like this event calendar and can see many uses for it in my business.

    Is there a way to import from a .ics feed then if you add information to the event(s) for the feed to not over-write and undo your work?

    For example, on this testing page I want to put in information in the event details section of the Event Calendar section in the post (such as the location or link to tickets, etc.), or make a piece of text in the post content a hyperlink, but it is over-writing it and I lose my work.

    Is it possible to make a one-time sync only with a .ICS feed?

    I also notice that if I create an event in the Time.ly calendar, this doesn’t sync up to the Google Calendar… is there any reason why this doesn’t work?

    Hi,

    Our calendar recognizes events that are imported as being “owned” by someone else. Therefore, when the manual/automatic update occurs, it’s always going to overwrite the existing events.

    As a workaround you can add a feed, delete the feed, and select “keep the events” when prompted. Now the calendar will recognize these events as being “owned” by you. Unfortunately, this means that you will no longer receive updated events since you are no longer subscribed to the feed.

    We have a “Preserve changes made to events retrieved from feeds” option with which it is possible to save the changes, but is only available in the hosted hub calendar.

    Take care,
    Ben
