Google ICS import with same start & end time spans to 2 days

[Tonyp]

Hello,

What is the probably exactly?

The start and end time in that event is the same?

Regards

Yes the start and end times are the same. From the previous posts, this issues has happened to others. All 26 of the events in this file have identical start/end times. When imported into Jevents, the event is created but it spans 24 hours rather than no time. It should just enter an event with no duration.

To check - should these events be starting at 5.30pm EST and then have no end time?

[jasondean]

Yes. The times are correct based upon the source information. If I had control of Pointstreak's site, I would set it differently (a two hour window instead of no duration).

Can you try changing the file components/com_jevents/libraries/iCalImport.php at line c. 259 from

Code: Select all

$vevent["DTEND"] += 86400;

to

Code: Select all

$vevent["NOENDTIME"]  = 1;

Do these events then import correctly?

I was having this same issue with multi-day events being created when I was trying to import ics schedules provided by pro sports teams (nba, etc). These events usually don't have a specified end time.

I wanted to let you know that I tried your below change and it worked. Reimporting corrected the events to show only on the single day they occur. (edited to add that I am using JEvents v2.2.8)
