ics character issues Hello, I am seeing a character issue in my event descriptions when using merged ics calendars from my public calendar in Apple's Calendar app. |

Re: ics character issues Can you be more specific? You can even paste a part of the ics file here if possible. What is in the ics file, and what are you seeing on the Mac? ---------------------------------------- Marc Higgins Support Associate, localendar.com Follow us on Twitter! http://www.twitter.com/localendar_news |

Re: ics character issues Sorry, I had a much more detailed post that somehow got deleted (perhaps during all that spam last week). Here is the full issue: I am using Apple's Calendar program to generate multiple ics files that I am merging on my localendar (this is a great way to update on the fly, by the way). I am inputing descriptions of the events in the Calendar app, but the text, when displayed on localendar, is not encoded properly. My understanding is that Apple's calendar is utilizing UTF-8, but special characters like quotes and ampersands. You can see the calendar incorporated into my wordpress site here: http://www.cinemabeach.com/features/calendar/ (using that very nice pinboard layout, which I'm very happy with!) Also, I am having an issue withe the RSS feed, which may account for the character issue. But I'll jump through one hurdle at a time. |

Re: ics character issues I see what you mean on a few events, but we'll need to see the ics file too. Can you open a support ticket, and we'll reply back with an email for you to attach the file to. localendar is also UTF-8, so that shouldn't be the issue. What issue are you having with the RSS? ---------------------------------------- Marc Higgins Support Associate, localendar.com Follow us on Twitter! http://www.twitter.com/localendar_news |
