Hello together,

I have a problem with my JEvents at Joomla 3.8.8:
When I try to import an iCal file from an Novell GroupWise Server I get this error message: DateTimeZone::__construct(): Unknown or bad timezone (Mitteleuropäische Zeit)

How can I fix this? The timezone of my Joomla installation is "Europe/Berlin".

(I have already found a post Titlehttps://www.jevents.net/discussions/ical-import-bad-timezone but it won't work with this solution of the post)

I have found the solution for the problem:

Novell GroupWise uses athor terms to designate the timezones than Joomla/JEvents. As a result of this JEvents dosen't now what "Mitteleuropäische Zeit" means. The solution for the problem is to add in the file "iCalImport.php" (components/com_jevents/libaries/) at abotu line 730 the following part:

$wtzdata["Mitteleuropäische Zeit"] = "Europe/Berlin";
$wtzdata["Westeuropäische Normalzeit"] = "Europe/Paris";
$wtzdata["Osteuropäische Normalzeit"] = "Europe/Helsinki";


After you have uploaded the file to the server it should work

I'm not sure, if I'm allowed to post the link of the calender here, because it's from an customer.

In the meantime I have tested to add the calender an a blank joomla installation of the newest version and only JEvents installed. There apperd the following messsage when I try to add the calender link as a new calender:

Not a valid VCALENDAR data file: %Link of the calende%r

Well, it seems there is an issue with your url file. You may add it to "site Details" tab below your response and that way it will only be shown to support ;)
