Proximitas Posted August 24, 2025 Report Posted August 24, 2025 I tried to import the Event Calendar into my Google calendar so I could keep track of any events my club members might like to know about. I clicked on the little orange iCal button at the bottom left of the calendar and and copied the url it gave into the import section of my Google calendar. Google says there is no calendar file there to import. Is there another link somewhere to the actual calendar file we could grab?
Eric Aitala Posted August 24, 2025 Report Posted August 24, 2025 Hmmmm. .. I think if you copy it you get webcal://ipmsusa.org/calendar/event-calendar.ics which Google might not like. Try https://ipmsusa.org/calendar/event-calendar.ics
Proximitas Posted August 24, 2025 Author Report Posted August 24, 2025 (edited) Yeah, Google calendar tells me there is no calendar there... so no bueno. I did find out something I didn't know, that there is also a calendar here on the forum, do both the website calendar and the forum calendar have the same or different data?

Should be the same data... as the Forum calendar pulls in the same .ics feed. E 1
Proximitas Posted August 25, 2025 Author Report Posted August 25, 2025 OKAY! The link to the ICS file worked. It's the orange iCal button on the main website event calendar that google doesn't like.
Eric Aitala Posted August 25, 2025 Report Posted August 25, 2025 For whatever reason, Google does not like the webcal:// prefix. I've changed it, so... E 1
VonL Posted August 26, 2025 Report Posted August 26, 2025 (edited) Another EVENT CALENDAR question: Our chapter (Black Hills Scale Modelers, 05-52) recently posted an event for early August. We were the primary sponsors and hosts of the 'Model Building' exhibit at the annual fair in our town and treat it as our annual contest/show. Is there a reason this event was not shown on the EVENT MAP, or was that just an oversight? Edited August 26, 2025 by VonL
Eric Aitala Posted August 26, 2025 Report Posted August 26, 2025 Not sure - I'm looking but I dont see anything yet Eric
Eric Aitala Posted August 26, 2025 Report Posted August 26, 2025 It is a Google Maps API issue - I've got a ticket in so I can figure out what the issue might be. They keep changing their TOS which complicates things. E
Eric Aitala Posted August 26, 2025 Report Posted August 26, 2025 I found the issue - it has been fixed. Eric 2
