completed Export events to an external calendar

Hello

I have a question about events on JR.
Is it somehow possible to export events to external calendars such as Outlook or Google?
Is it a way to download the events as .ics/.csv files

Or maybe I don't see something and this option is somewhere available.
I would be grateful for any tips.

Many of our members will be appreciative of having this option available.

Thanks in advance

There's no support for anything like this at this time. Sorry!

Thanks Brian,

Is there a way that members could see a list of only the events they have registered for?

Because we have so many events listed on our calendar, and because there is not an option to export to their calendars, our members who attend classes regularly are very frustrated at finding an easy way to quickly check their upcoming schedule.

They could, of course, type their own entries into their online calendars, but are quite used to convenience of saving at a click (they were able to to check classes they were attending on our Ning site easily from their profile pages and were able to export to their calendars if they so chose.

Any tips on workarounds would be appreciated. The only 'slightly helpful' trick we can think of as things stand now is for members to 'favorite'/'like'/'thumbs up' the events they plan to attend, and use that ONLY for events, and this way they could check 'my favorites' (as we've renamed it) from the drop-down sub-tab off of their profile name.

These are our members who keep us online, the members who pay for classes. The more we can please them, obviously, the better.

Any tips/workarounds would be extremely appreciated.

Thank you,

In the jrEvent calendar.tpl template about line 99 -


Change it to this -


Note the added check to see if the user is attending this event.

Hi Paul.
We tried this but saw 'nothing' happen as a result.
(We listed new classes to test it, but could not see any results, as master admin or as user.)

We're going to wait until we have the JR6 and Ninja skin settled, and then try again.
Can you tell us what you expected us to see?

You should see:


After the Title of the event IF the user is attending the event.

Yes, we have that in place.
But what regular attendees are begging for is a way to check for a list of ONLY their individual lists of classes they have clicked to 'attend'.

[or to export to calendar, which apparently isn't an option now]

We have 20 or more classes listed per week, and if someone is attending, say, four of them, it's rather a nuisance to have no way to separate JUST the ones you are attending.

[see longer note attempting to explain, above]

Hoping for something that would automatically generate such a list, and a way for members to access that list from individual profiles.

I'd love to hear from other JamRoomers who have multiple recurring and one-time-only events on their calendars... and how they keep their members happy?

Thanks in advance,

At the moment it would require a custom module.

The only current way without a coding something would be to add 'likes' to the event, then your users could like the event they are attending and it would show up on their "Items you Like or Dislike" page.

That's the only work around that comes to mind until the feature is built.

Have added this feature to the next release of the Event module.
