I’m look for ways to feed events (calendar) based feeds into a posts. * RSS feeds are more simple to calendar feeds so I guess I’m just wondering if it was something that you might agree could be added as a source? * Plugin Contributor [Tung Pham](https://wordpress.org/support/users/phamtungpth/) * (@phamtungpth) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ical-source-feeds/#post-7385719) * Hi, * Could you please provide an example of that calendar feed? * Let us try to check the structure of that feed! * Best Regards! * Thread Starter [Justin Fletcher](https://wordpress.org/support/users/justinticktock/) * (@justinticktock) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ical-source-feeds/#post-7385815) * Thanks… I can point to examples that I’m imediately interested in from time.ly’s all-in-one-event-calendar. * there are different types this is the basic type.. * [http://time.ly/?plugin=all-in-one-event-calendar&controller=ai1ec_exporter_controller&action=export_events&no_html=true](http://time.ly/?plugin=all-in-one-event-calendar&controller=ai1ec_exporter_controller&action=export_events&no_html=true) * or their own which is better..

There is also not any events in the demo site [http://time.ly/calendar/](http://time.ly/calendar/) –> [http://screencast.com/t/jcPxSNaQleQx](http://screencast.com/t/jcPxSNaQleQx) * Beside, whenever I access the link of feed on a browser, there is always a download. ics file be downloaded? * So I still do not know the content of your example feed. * Best Regards! * Thread Starter [Justin Fletcher](https://wordpress.org/support/users/justinticktock/) * (@justinticktock) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ical-source-feeds/#post-7385821) * Hi Tung.. * Well that doesn’t help does it.. * ok to help I’ve created a demo site with some events of different types. * [http://justinandco.com/demo/](http://justinandco.com/demo/) * and there will be three separate types of events in the calendar feed. - regular repeating event - one time event - and 3rd a custom style repeating event. * so it will be interesting to see if these can be handled by wp-pipes. * the feed url can be copied from the demo site calendar .. however one link is here for the ical version which includes the images. * [http://justinandco.com/demo/?plugin=all-in-one-event-calendar&controller=ai1ec_exporter_controller&action=export_events](http://justinandco.com/demo/?plugin=all-in-one-event-calendar&controller=ai1ec_exporter_controller&action=export_events) * Plugin Contributor [Tung Pham](https://wordpress.org/support/users/phamtungpth/) * (@phamtungpth) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ical-source-feeds/#post-7385831) * Hi Rolling Stone, * Thank you for your time which you spent to develop that Source add-on! * Hopefully there will be more other add-on(s) in the future from you! * Best Regards! * Thread Starter [Justin Fletcher](https://wordpress.org/support/users/justinticktock/) * (@justinticktock) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ical-source-feeds/#post-7385832) * That is a quick turn round for a new add-on ! it should help the all-in-one-events- calendar users if they want a set of posts for all events in the calendar. * I’ve been trialling the basic wp-pipe to get a handle on rss feeds in and how it would work in my case. What I’m seeing is …if the ical or RSS feed input coming in creates a set of posts (say the events for today) and then tomorrow re-imports from the pipe it is appending and not removing yesterday’s posts before creating today’s. I see no way of removing yesterday’s posts this since pipe appends rather than performing a delete/add-new. * also there are no hooks to fire some custom code before a pipe runs. is this something that you would consider adding in? something like .. * `do_action( 'before_running_pipe');` * ? * Plugin Contributor [Tung Pham](https://wordpress.org/support/users/phamtungpth/) * (@phamtungpth) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ical-source-feeds/#post-7385836) * Hi Justin Fletcher, * I think your idea (removing yesterday’s posts this since pipe appends…) could be solved with a special Destination add-on. * You could refer the structure and code of Post Destination add-on! * Best Regards!
