Loads well for me – 41 events get added.

Validator is throwing back results with various errors:

Any plans for a fix?
Are you using an apple device?
@tgo_dc
Loaded fine on my Windows laptop into Cloud Outlook.
Loaded fine on my Samsung Galaxy 9.
Yes, I saw that. Definitely does not like the returns for the newline.
If you view the .ics file, there is a tonne of formatting issues in the DESCRIPTION and sometimes the LOCATION. I would start by building out a scaled down version of some events, just to see if it loads.
Thanks – will give it a try.
Any idea what attributes of the events could be causing the error? They all pretty much just use basic Sportspress custom fields, nothing additional.
No joy – made a new calendar but as soon as I go above one event, it throws errors in the iCAL validator.
Any other ideas?
@tgo_dc
I would not count on the validator to determine if the file will be successful or not.
So you created a bunch of events with just title, date, time, and location ?
Can I see the ics file for this one ?
Spot on, corrinarusso 🙂
Validators and automated tools are often confusing and won’t help you unless you know what’s behind them.
Let us know how the actual file works for you though.
Thanks!
I deleted my old calendar and re-made it:
webcal://www.corkcityfc.ie/home/calendar/senior-fixtures-2020?feed=sp-ical
It only has approx 40 events. They’re all pretty basic.
Roch, any ideas on whats causing it to not work on iOS?
@tgo_dc
You re-made the calendar, but it continues to have a lot of text in there imo.

I would start by removing this type of data. Again, build the calendar with just :
title, date, time, and location
Yes so this text is just the “Recap” from the matches themselves.
Could it be formatting issues within this, causing the bug?
@tgo_dc
I do not think it is a bug.
Use the importer to create 40 events under a new league, and see if it works with only the required field information.

This works when I add it to my phone.
All events show up.
@tgo_dc
Exactly.
IMO its all the Recap stuff that is causing issues.
“In general”, there could be issues with :
– double quotes,
– single quotes,
– wonky spacing,
– CRLF injections (hard returns),
– content length of the field
Scale down and adjust your recap data, and try again.
