I have a JEvents calendar on Site A that I wish to automatically update a JEvents calendar on Site B

I understand that I must create the Site B target calendar using an iCal URL but I cannot find the location of that iCal URL on the Site A source.

I am using the current free version of JEvents. Do I need to upgrade, and if so, to which package?
Create an iCal export menu item on site A and use the url that generates for the import into site B

Thanks. That did import the calendar from A to B successfully.

Is there a way I can make that dynamic - so that changes made in Source A are reflected in Target B? Is there an RSS feed that I can use to populate Site B?

Setup a crontab job - there are club member articles describing the process http://www.jevents.net/jevents-15-topme ... -calendars and http://www.jevents.net/jevents-15-topme ... -explation

The links are for Club Members only - I joined and have logged back in but I still can't see them.

Go to the frontend of JEvents.net and logout there and login again from the Joomla part of the site - does it work now?

Yup got it. Thanks.

Still having some difficulties with this. Before using the auto-refresh I'm just using the manual refresh on Site B target having made an event addition on source Site A. The manual refresh doesn't work - the new date doesn't appear. I'm pretty sure I'm making a config mistake error somewhere ...

Check the site B cache settings.

Also when you do the manual import does it tell you now many events it imported?

Only cache I can see is Use Joomla Cache which is set to no.

As it imports the iCal data a screen flashes up showing the date entries. I can see the added date in the list so I know it's being retreived. It's just not displaying. The category is the same as other dates that are being displayed. I'll try again with an additional date.

You see the imported event in the backend list of events?

Please check the published state and access level for the imported calendar.

Also what sort of view do you have in the frontend - it definately covers the date of the imported event? If you use a year list does it appear?

Yup the view span covers the new date.

Here is Site A source http://www.charitylodge23.org/events-ca ... 13/03/25/-

Here is Site B target http://glrisd.net/sd-calendar/month.cal ... 13/03/25/-

These are the dates it imports on manual refresh. The Site B is still displaying the dates from the original iCal URL used to create the calendar. The newly added dates on March 2nd and 8th aren't showing up. They use the same categories. I can't see anything different about them.

Please send me login details for both sites (via PM) and point me to a specific problem event and I'll take a look - it will be quicker than going back and forth in the forum
