Andrea Paolucci Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 I had a collaborator setting an event in the calendar that was repeating without a repeating end. After fixing this and removing the repeating, the iCalendar subscription is still picking up the repeat and generating 2 years of daily events. I tried removing the subscription from my google calendar and adding it back but it didn't work. I then removed the event but no luck with that either. How can i fix this issue?

Jim M Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Could you please provide us a link to the event in question? We can then review what is happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrea Paolucci Posted July 12, 2022 Author Share Posted July 12, 2022 update: deleting the event did work...it took a while but in the end it disappeared, i'm wondering why updating the event didn't (this event has been up for 2 months that way...i was waiting it to pass before deleting it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Stridgen Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 It will have likely simply taken time for it to do given that there were so many present. Has this now been resolved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea Paolucci Posted July 13, 2022 Author Share Posted July 13, 2022 Well deleting is a solution, but i believe there might be a bug in just updating the repeating section of an event that wouldn't reflect on the iCalendar or at least it's not reflecting there if you remove the infinite repeating. If you want i can provide more info and steps on how to reproduce it, but my personal issue has been resolved deleting the event. 47 minutes ago, Marc Stridgen said: It will have likely simply taken time for it to do given that there were so many present.

Andrea Paolucci Posted July 13, 2022 Author Share Posted July 13, 2022 And just to add more...it's not only deleting the solution: it's delete the event and delete the calendar and then add it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Stridgen Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Sorry, I was a little confused here on the order of things. I assumed it was the items being removed on our end was the issue. You would need to contact google if its not actually being removed from their end when using our ical feed. If you have removed it our end, its no longer present. We have no control over it after that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Stridgen Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 The iCal feed doesnt actually send anything at all. Its read from by the reader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it works as a polling request, but what the url is answering is what i meant it's sending. I inspected the .ics file and the event was repeating even if i removed the repeating part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Stridgen Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 I have taken a look at the links you sent over, and I can confirm it seems to be what is reading the feed rather than the feed itself. There is no daily item in that calendar feed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Andrea Paolucci Posted July 14, 2022 Author Solution Share Posted July 14, 2022 ok as temporary solution i found out that appending a fake property to the calendar url would help fixing the issue invalidating the cache...something like this where i added the parameter fakeParam webcal://www.YOUR_HOST.com/forums/index.php?/calendar/YOUR_CALENDAR_ID/download/&member=MEMBER_ID&key=YOUR_KEY&fakeParam SeNioR- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Stridgen Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 That sounds quite odd. While that has resolved it for yourself, I have tagged our developers in this to see if there is something else we need to note. In the meantime, if you have any caching, please let us know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Ashbrook Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 This is likely due to guest page caching. The problem here is that RSS / iCalendar readers cannot actually log in to the site, so when they are loaded, it is technically loaded as a guest (hence the member_id and key parameters). If you disable guest caching entirely do you still see the issue? You can do this in your Admin CP > System > Advanced Configuration > Data Storage.
