Hi, I have used the default settings for the ical view and just click on the ical link and everything appears as I expect in Outlook. I get a new calendar with all the dates etc. But when I do it again, I get a separate calendar in outlook (the calendar has the same name but with (1) as a suffix) rather than any different dates being added to the existing calendar.
I have searched all over the place for an answer as to whether this behavious is:
a) by design
b) dependent upon a setting in outlook, or (hopefully)
c) a setting in drupal or a string in the ics file that I can change to have one calendar in outlook.
Thanks,
Crom

hwasem commentedI just had this problem. I read here, http://drupal.org/node/742146, in an unrelated issue that in calendar-view-ical.tpl.php, you "remove the line with "X-WR-CALNAME" otherwise Outlook and other email clients will consider it a feed and not a single event". I removed that line and it worked for me.

Crom commentedHwasem, thanks for the response but I still get a new Outlook calendar created everytime I click on the ical link from my calendar.
I'm guessing that the template you pointed me to holds the key to this so I will continue to try different settings and researching and will post solution if/when I find it.
But if anyone else can help I'd appreciate it.
Cheers,
Crom

sjafars commentedHi
Did you figure this out???
I have the same issue.
It creates a new calendar, if I have more than one EVENT in the ICS file. In theory It should update the existing default calendar.
No problem with single EVENT...

bskohli1 commentedPatch to implement the calendar functionality in such a way that the events are added to the existing calendar and no new calendar is created. It is for date_ical module version 7.x-1.0.

neslee canil pintoThe D6 branch is no longer supported so we're closing this issue. If you think this issue still exists in D7 you can open a new one.
