I'm not certain that this is the cause, but I would often get duplicate entires using my PC's sleep mode while running Gcal. The entires would usually show up when the machine was "awakened". |

I had this problem also, and I believe it is because the current script generates random UID numbers each time it is executed, and google must get confused as to the uniqueness of each event. I fixed this by adding an additional line to the script that explicitly specifies a static (but still unique) UID to each event:
Code: |
$icalevent->add_property('uid', md5($date3.$item['link']));
|
so that it now looks like:
Code: |
...
$icalevent->add_property('uid', md5($date3.$item['link']));
$ical->add_component($icalevent);
$icalevent = new iCalendar_event;
}
|
Keep in mind, google calendar only updates its caches version of the calendar every 3 hours, so you won't see any changes immediately. |

Er.. Nowhere does my code look like that, but i'll give it a shot.
EDIT: Doesn't seem to help, my google calendar looks pretty ridiculous with dozens of duplicates now :/ I don't get it. Other calendar apps like Netvibes Calendar don't seem to have this problem at all. |

Only just seen this topic and i have been trying various things for the past 30 minutes with this php code. I'm no simpleton in the area but I'm not seeing why this script is caught in some sort of infinite loop even on an empty rss feed.
Apache/2.0.55 and PHP/4.4.2
Any ideas? |

This seems to have mysteriously stopped working.
Manually loading the php gives me :
"Error: RSS file not found!"
Anyone else encountering this?
EDIT: Apparantly this started happening a couple of weeks after I moved hosts. New host has a newer version of PHP, which I guess clashes with the script. Found a free web host which works, issue resolved. |

Can't seem to get the script working. All I get is "Error: RSS file not found!" when trying to view the address. I am running other php scripts with no problem on my site. Anyone have ideas on how to resolve this? |

Perhaps it's a matter of versions of PHP, because I had the same issue on my server, which also runs .php.
It must be conflicting with newer versinos I imagine, as the script has not been updated since forever.
Try freehostia.com, and post back let us know if it resolved the issue for you.. |

Thanks Telecart, that works. However I'm still not sure as to why. On my site I am running PHP version 4.4.7, on FreeHostia, they're running version 4.4.0. Not that significant difference in versions. I'd still be interested in knowing why it doesn't work. But at least now I have it working somewhere else. |

Thanks for the tip, adding that line after line 69 made it work in Apple's iCal
side note: has anyone been able to figure out how to get rid of the characters that show up for single quotes? |

I've been using saxx' "service" for quite some time now.
As ME added the function of exact times this weekend, woudl it be possible to include this as well in the script?
Thanks, and great work!

Seems freehostia broke. They must've upgraded their php. Any other free hosts? Or perhaps someone willing/capable of upgrading the code? |

I rewrote the code to use SimplePie instead of LastRSS. This script now works on my own server. It however does not seem to work on Freehostia still. Not sure why or what changed where. I emailed Freehostia about it and their tech support sucked. Said they didn't make any server changes and couldn't help me any more since the script was fetching an RSS feed that wasn't hosted by them. So here is a link to the script I am not using. Let me know if it works for anyone.
Be sure to edit myepisodes2ical.php to use the complete URL to your MyEpisodes RSS feed.

Can Someone please help me put my rss feed to calendar? I tried using the two scripts. The first error says it cannot find the rss feed. The other error sys it cannot access my server.
My PHP file is located here
http://gary.athost.net/myepisodes2ical.php
here is the copy of my php file.
(I put X's for the password)
Thank you for the help.

Soo... tried using sunkast's new version of the script but it was missing fixes for a few of the known problems with the old script. My first results from that script was just the same episode repeating it self 20 or so times, so i've fixed the script and it can be found here:
http://tobiasserver.ath.cx/henrik/myepisodes2ical.fixed.zip
My fix is just two lines one at the begining of the foreach loop and one almost at the end...
Code: |
foreach ($feed->get_items() as $item) {
$i++;
// fix for Repetition problem
$icalevent = new iCalendar_event;
$title_data = parseTitle($item->get_title());
$date1 = date("Ymd", strtotime($title_data[3]));
$date2 = date("Ymd", strtotime($title_data[3]." + 1 day"));
$date3 = date("Ymd\THis\Z", strtotime($title_data[3]));
// Start-end date
$icalevent->add_property('class', 'PUBLIC');
$icalevent->add_property('sequence', $i);
$icalevent->add_property('dtstart', $date1, array('value' => 'DATE'));
$icalevent->add_property('dtend', $date2, array('value' => 'DATE'));
$icalevent->add_property('dtstamp', $date3);
$icalevent->add_property('summary', $title_data[0]." ".$title_data[1]);
$icalevent->add_property('description', $title_data[2]);
// fix for UID problem
$icalevent->add_property('uid', md5($date3.$title_data[0].$title_data[1]));
$ical->add_component($icalevent);
}

Hope this is usefull for someone... |

Did the script break again for anyone? Seems like it isn't properly parsing the feed as it used to. I'm only getting one episode listed for each episode that is on the actual feed. |

Henrik_DK's post fixed my issue. Should have read it earlier...
I'll update the zip file I have on my server with these fixes. This way both links will have a working version. |

Anyway, I'm running the script on my server and I don't see any reason why I shouldn't share it with you guys (as long as my bandwidth can take it). So, if you don't have your own PHP webspace and want to import your episodes into Google Calendar, use this url (but change the two querystring variables):
http://www.sachsenhofer.com/stuff/myepisodestoical.aspx?uid=YOURUSER&pwdmd5=YOURMD5PWD
The script loads your RSS feed mylist and returns it in ICal format. I've tested it with Google Calender (I don't use any other ICal Application, so I don't know if it works with those).
ps: I'm not logging your users or hashed passwords, so don't worry |
@saxx Thanks very much for hosting this, it's much appreciated Wouldn't have had a clue how to go about hosting it myself! |

I would just like to update saying that this seems to be broken in Gcal right now. It keeps giving me an error: "we could not parse the calendar at the url requested", and refusing to add the calendar. Works fine in iCal though.
It would be really nice to get some official iCal feed support. |
