Problem/motivation

When a recurring item has a rule defined with an end date and time, the URL format of that end date isn't being recognized by Google Calendar (web).

Details

  1. For a recurring weekly series, until a specific date, this is the Add to Calendar (Google) link I get: https://www.google.com/calendar/r/eventedit?ctz=America%2FToronto&text=G......
  2. Google doesn't recognize this as repeating because of the structure of "UNTIL%3D2024-04-10T235959"
  3. If the hyphens are removed, and changed to UNTIL%3D20240410T235959, the Google Calendar link works as expected: https://www.google.com/calendar/r/eventedit?ctz=America%2FToronto&text=G......

Proposed resolution

Update the format of the "UNTIL" segment to remove hyphens.

Thanks for the report and the examples. This makes sense, and adjusting the output of the Google Calendar link without affecting the Outlook/iCal outputs should be very do-able. Leaving as "Active" -- this is ready to be worked.

All,

I came across this matter and have developed a patch that meets my needs.

I have an "Add Event Series To Calendar Button" which display a modal, there you will find the correct Google Calendar link without hyphens in the RRule.
