django-cal's Issues

Get a new release up on PyPi

Since the current version in PyPi lacks Django 1.7 supports, it'd be really nice to get what is current in git master up on PyPi. If there's anything I can do to help make this happen, let me know.

Example project .ics output don't work in Outlook 2003

Don't know if it's a problem with the example or the app itself, but it should be fixed.

Add tests to ease maintenance burden

This project is maintained in my free time, which I have little of. If somebody were to add tests, it would be a lot easier to review pull requests.

NameError: ObjectDoesNotExist ""

I had to add this to get my view code working:

class ObjectDoesNotExist(Exception):  pass
django_cal.views.ObjectDoesNotExist = ObjectDoesNotExist

It was masking another error I was having. I didn't find the declaration in your code.

PyPi Version incorrect

The package marked as 0.2.3 (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-cal/0.2.3) doesn't contain the changes in #20 among others.

Add timezone support

Either add support for timezones in django-cal, or expose the vObject fields so that users can roll out their own.
@Gissues:{"order":66.66666666666666,"status":"backlog"}

As I've mentioned earlier, I'm currently not working with Django and thus don't have the resources to maintain this apart from blindly merging pull requests. If anybody is interested in taking over, I'd gladly have a chat. You can also contact me directly at [email protected]

iCal feed doesn't work with Google Calendar

Google Calendar loads the events.ics file created using this plugin if I save it and import the file. However, when I try using the "Add by URL" feature in Google Calendar, it won't load the calendar generated using this plugin. The same URL loads flawlessly into my iPhone's Calendar.

I initially got an error message The address that you provided did not contain a calendar in a valid iCal or GData format. Noting other examples, I changed the Content-Disposition header from attachment to inline, and now rather than give an error message, it just keeps displaying the "Importing calendar from url..." message, and the calendar does at least show up in my "Other Calendars" area, but none of the events get passed in correctly.

Running my file through a couple iCal validators, again the events.ics file saved and uploaded validates perfectly. But when I try to give it the URL of the iCal feed, this validator gives me this error:

Your calendar is using an invalid newline format. Make sure to use \r\n to end lines rather than just \n

Sorry, your calendar could not be parsed.
Error:  Error was: Error at line 1: Expected [-3], read [10]
Cause:  
Context for line 1:
1:  
2:  
3:  
4:  <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
5:  
6:  <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="ltr"
7:  xml:lang="en-us" lang="en-us">

...and this validator gives this error:

expecting "BEGIN", found '

Viewing my events.ics file in a text editor, there is no ' character before BEGIN, and each line ends with CRLF. I've tried changing my urls.py to include the filename events.ics, trying with Content-Disposition header set to attachment or inline with no luck.

I wonder what your results have been? Any help is much appreciated.
