Merging Localendar with other calenders
Hello!

I had it set up for a few years to see my localendar in my google calendar and phone app calendar by using the ical web address http://www.localendar.com/public/LADDTraining?style=X2. A bit over a week ago it stopped showing up in my calendars, and other people in our league are having the same issue. I've deleted and tried many ways to reestablish it to no avail, even by using the sync option when logged into our account. Our localendar is set as public and nothing had changed on our end to make this happen. Can you please check to see what the error is?

Thanks!

Re: Merging Localendar with other calenders
You have more than 3,000 events on that calendar.
We don't "pre-compute" our ics export (like Google does) when an application requests it.

The advantage to Google's approach is that they can serve up the ics feed quicker. The disadvantage is recent changes take time to show up in the feed.

An ics export includes all events on your calendar, even if they were 1-time events that expired a long time ago. My guess is that as your calendar is getting bigger and bigger and the feed taking longer and longer to generate, Google eventually has decided to timeout waiting for it.

My first suggestion is to go under Options->Events and click "Clear Calendar Events" and try purging events from say 2010 to 2011 or 2012 (or longer) if you don't need them. That should speed up the ics export of your localendar calendar.

Re: Merging Localendar with other calenders
This is exactly my problem as well! I've been going back and forth with my app program developer trying to fix this problem!! All my events that were synced onto my google calendar were visible on my app calendar, and now for the last month they are not. I have check and double checked google settings - no change. I went and purged the extraneous events from my localendar to see if excessive loading time was the issue, and there is no difference. Please help!

I must add that all the localendar events are visible and correct on my google calendar

I had issues importing your ics view into a Google calendar also (though a file import worked fine)
Since the feed is working, and it's valid, this appears to be a Google issue.

I found a lot of people complaining about this problem, and someone from Google chimed in last month to say they were looking into it:

That said, we've made considerable improvements to the speed with which we generate icalendar exports. Please try again (you may need to remove/re-add your calendar) and let us know if it makes a difference.
