iCalendar empty In Outlook

I am trying to connect to the icalendar in my Sugar however it connects but displays that I have no meetings and whether I still want to add it. I click yes but it is completely empty. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance

  • Hi sisrom,

    Your description sounds related to a known bug, #65934, which causes the calendar to not load properly in other applications that use the iCal URL. If you can please confirm which version and flavor of Sugar you are using (e.g. CE 6.5.16, Pro 6.5.15, etc) I can send you a hotfix which you can load through Module Loader to fix this bug.

    Thanks!

  • Hi Alex, the fix was applied; it corrects the TZ issue in the ics file; however, I detect also that long lines are trunked:

    Here a sample:

    BEGIN:VCALENDAR
    VERSION:2.0
    METHOD:PUBLISH
    X-WR-CALNAME:Omar Becerra (SugarCRM)
    PRODID:-//SugarCRM//SugarCRM Calendar//EN
    BEGIN:VTIMEZONE
    TZID:America/Bogota
    X-LIC-LOCATION:America/Bogota
    END:VTIMEZONE
    CALSCALE:GREGORIAN
    BEGIN:VEVENT
    SUMMARY:PAM: Revision HTTPS LagoAgrio
    DTSTART;TZID=America/Bogota:20140319T083000
    DTEND;TZID=America/Bogota:20140319T103000
    DTSTAMP:20140424T182400Z
    DESCRIPTION:No aplica politicas a paginas HTTPS
    URL;VALUE=URI:https://sugar.globalteksecurity.com//index.php?module=Meeting
        s&action=DetailView&record=faf00f01-5a27-87f9-87de-533eddd9c856

    As you can see in the last line, the URL is not complete in only one line, it happens in all long lines:

    DESCRIPTION:Generar un informe comparativo entre un modelo 320 y un 425. In
        dicar las principales caracteristicas y diferencias entre los modelos.
    URL;VALUE=URI:https://sugar.globalteksecurity.com//index.php?module=Meeting
        s&action=DetailView&record=127a0871-031f-7475-c7e4-533edc79fd70

    Right no, I found old iCal.php and vCal.php files (from version 6.5.15) and ithe file is generated correctly.

    Thanks

  • Hi!

    Does that hotfix also fix problems with character encoding???

    I find out, if my events in SugarCRM calendar has Finnish characters or special characters, Google "Add by URL" adding does nog work.

    When I removed characters, worked right away.

    Please, email fix to me?

    I fixed iCal.php and vCard.php according this formum post
    http://www.sugarforge.org/frs/?group_id=6

    It seems that there is still bug with charcter encoding, although in header says, that character encoding is UTF-8, it is something else.

    Funny, that if events are exported from SugarCRM and saved to file and then imported to Google Calendar, events comes (special characters are something...)

  • Hi Alex Nassi,
    I ́m experienceing the issue descripted at "Defect 65934: Timezone in iCal output invalid and breaks entire ics output"
    Sugar_CE_v6.5.16
    Whould sent me the hotfix?
    Any assistance will be apreciated.
    Thanks, Martin.
  • Thanks Craig!
    I´ll check it.
  • Hi Craig, 
    Didn´t work.
    Install ical_patch_0.8.6 but now the .ics are blank.
    Probably the patch wouldn´t work with SugarCE6.5.x. Acording to documentation the Ical patch is for 6.2 or later but doesn´t says anything about 6.5.
    thanks anyway Craig! I´ll keep trying until it works. Regards, Martin.
