Thank you very much for taking a look at this. You know, I went through that file more than a few times and didn’t find it. I guess it helps if you know what you’re looking at!

Code-wise, is this something that you can write for or is it just way beyond? Either way, thanks again for helping me with this.

In the ics file there are actually vevent definitions for those seemingly duplicate events. The UID’s are the same, but the sequence numbers are different. So I guess what happened was, you created a recurring entry and then modified instances of those entries.

The spec: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2445.txt says that the sequence numbers increment as mods are made.

So, my code needs to check for duplicate date/UID’s and then select only the latest sequence number if there are multiple entries for the same UID. There was an initial entry that had a Non-standard Property with value UNCLEAN. Maybe it is the unclean recurring entry giving a warning that this one has exceptional instances.

Hmm…. will have to get back to you on that… stay tuned.

The problem entries have an intial recurring entry with:

X-WR-ITIPSTATUSML:UNCLEAN

and then the same:

UID:2DF6A4AD-B4CF-4FFD-8466-F5503D0D936E-F66C09C5-0086-473F-ABD4-743AAEB
16C8A

but different SEQUENCE numbers on different dates
SEQUENCE:15

Thanks again!

RE: duplicates - this may be a problem with the way that the original code I piggybacked off handles exceptions (or not!). I had thought to change this section but only if necessary….. due to time. Looks like it may be time.

Please send me the public url of your ics file and I will use it as a test case.

I suspect though that I should get the next release up first and then work on improving the recurring entries and exceptions using other tested code.

It was indeed a php version issue and an upgrade to v5 solved the error. I could’ve been more clear, too: the v2.0.1 was referring to ical-events-list, not php. Sorry about that.

In the meantime, wondering anyone has thoughts on two different issues.

I’m getting duplicate listings for individualized recurring events. I’m creating an event (a meeting) with a weekly repeat in iCal. I then go to a specific date and modify the event (add a location, notes, etc.). I don’t have dupes in iCal, nor in the ics file, just in the events list.

The other issues is with formatting using the settings in admin panel. Some settings seem to take, others don’t and produce an error message. Specifically, settings near the top like list name and date/time formats. Anna-marie had suggested making these edits directly in the config file and then hitting”reset to default” in the settings panel to see the changes reflected.

Two problems: reset to default does indeed reflect those changes but it also erases everything that had been previously set like ‘column’ and ‘order.’ This solution also only seems to work for the default list style. I can’t figure out how to edit for other list types, specifically list 4 for the widget.

Thanks for any thoughts, suggestions or ideas,
Stace

Another update will be coming out in a few days. If you send me the url of your ical file (.ics) - I can pop it into the test site for you, so you can see it “works” with your file. Of course it will be styled with the theme of the test site and with default configuration.
