Just downloaded this today and thought I'd import a few events.

I have a dtstart of 20161004T200000 which I thought would result in a date of 04/10/2016
with a start time of 20:00.

The date was fine but I'm not sure why I ended up with a start time of 14:00 :o

Suggestions please
Thanks

Are you doing a CSV import - in which case JEvents would recognide other date formats though I would suggest you format them in an internationally neutral format e.g. YYYY-MM-DD in your spreadsheet

:D Didn't even think of timezone. No timezone was set in JEvents :o Too quick to try and get events added. Thanks for pointing that out.

Is there a quick way to convert a date of 04/10/2016 to 20161004T200000? Rather than manually edit each cell, which I think would take as much time as manually entering events.

Hello,

To get 14:00 from that you would have to have a timezone difference. Is a timezone set within the iCal File? What timezone is JEvents set too?

Many thanks
Tony
