iCal Export and Notification Questions

[jackibar]

I'm running on Joomla 1.7 and have installed the latest Jevents download. For some reason, I am unable to open the iCal export files in my calendar. I get the following error:

"iCal can't read this calendar file. No events have been added to your iCal calendar."

Can you help me get this working?!

Also, I have checked "Yes" for:

Send notification emails for all events

However, no emails are being sent to the registered users. I do, however, receive the administrator notices whenever adding a new event or modifying an event. Is the fact I'm using Community Builder the problem of users not receiving emails? How do I fix this?

Thanks so much for such a wonderful Calendar component!

Silly question, do you have any events in the calendar that you are trying to export?

Silly question, do you have any events in the calendar that you are trying to export?

Yes, I have 3 events...! It goes through the process of "Exporting" - asking me where to save the exported file, saving it to my computer and *looks* like an iCal file. Just when I click to open it, I get that error.

Open the file in a text editor as opposed to your calendar software - what is in it?

Here's the contents of the file:

<script type="text/javascript" src="plugins/content/scripturelinks/scripturelinks/wz_tooltip/wz_tooltip.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="plugins/content/scripturelinks/scripturelinks/wz_tooltip/tip_balloon.js"></script>

The first line tells me you have a problem content plugin that is misbehaving itself.

[jackibar]

THANK you! Okay, I've disabled that plugin and now the export works fine with a non-repeating entry. When I tried a repeating entry, however, I get this error:

No webpage was found for the web address: http://rptworship.com/index.php?option= ... &Itemid=46

Your template developer forgot to include a component.php file in the template - this is a core template file that is required for all Joomla templates.

you should ask them to give you this file

[jackibar]

Actually, I've developed this template myself

So I need to learn how to add a component.php file...!

Another question about exporting - is there a way to export a whole month at a time? Or can you only export each event one at a time?

Lastly for now, what about the notifications - ? Shouldn't each registered user be receiving email notifications when I create a new event? I have it enabled but only the admins are getting notices.
