Import/Expoting all day iCal events that expand x days

[Kulwant]

Hi, Using the demo site https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/scheduler/import-export-ical I have added a all day event that expands 2 days, and then exported that data, when I import the data it changes to a 1  day event,  is this a ical.js issue?, 

 

 

export and then import i get

 

Thanks

Hello, Kulwant,

The custom code in the demo that handles the import/export part is not intended to work for all day events. I was not able to reproduce the issue if the All day checkbox is unchecked for events that last several days.

I hope that clears the matter. Let me know if you have any further questions.

Hi Martin,

My requirement is an administrator to add ALL day events ( eg Holidays) to a global calendar, so ALL day Events checkbox is checked and cannot be changed also have the ability to import/export, ( eg they would import all bank holiday for uk, and then have the ability to add additional days if needed), hope this make sense

Thanks

Hello, Kulwant,

As the iCal standard does not have an allDay property, the endTime of the Scheduler event should be expanded to the 23 hour and 59 minutes so that the event would be exported correctly in iCal file. Please check the modified version of the example:

for (var i = 0; i < schedulerEvents.length; i++) {
            var schedulerEvent = schedulerEvents[i];
            var vevent = new ICAL.Component('vevent');
            var event = new ICAL.Event(vevent);
            var endDate = schedulerEvent.end;
            var modDate = endDate.setHours(23,59,00,00);
            event.uid = schedulerEvent.recurrenceId ? schedulerEvent.recurrenceId : schedulerEvent.id;
            event.summary = schedulerEvent.title;
            event.description = schedulerEvent.description;
            event.startDate = ICAL.Time.fromDateTimeString(getISOString(schedulerEvent.start, true));
            event.endDate = ICAL.Time.fromDateTimeString(getISOString(schedulerEvent.end, true));

            if (schedulerEvent.recurrenceRule) {
              event.component.addProperty(
                new ICAL.Property(ICAL.parse.property("RRULE:" + schedulerEvent.recurrenceRule)));
            }

            if (schedulerEvent.recurrenceException) {
              event.component.addProperty(
                new ICAL.Property(ICAL.parse.property("EXDATE:" + schedulerEvent.recurrenceException)));
            }

            if (schedulerEvent.recurrenceId) {
              event.recurrenceId = ICAL.Time.fromDateTimeString(getISOString(schedulerEvent.start, true));
            }

            event.component.addPropertyWithValue("dtstamp",
                                                 ICAL.Time.fromDateTimeString(getISOString(new Date(), true)));

            component.addSubcomponent(vevent);
          }

Let me know how that works for you.
