Support » Plugin: Event Organiser » Subscribe link for private calendars

  • Dear Stephen,

    Thank you very much for your great plugin and your personal commitment.

    Aim:
    ====
    Provide subscribe link to users of private calendars

    How to reproduce:
    =================
    I am using event organiser in a two-way mode with private and public events. The private events are only displayed to users after login to the WP backend. When these “private users” try to subscribe (using the shortcode [1]) via Outlook, iCal, etc. to the private calendar they receive only an empty calendar. I was able to download the ical file manually after being logged in and it contains the relevant items. Therefore, I believe the user’s preferred calendar client needs to authenticate prior to the accessing the URL. I tried to add the credentials via basic authentication, but it did not worked for WP.

    Possible workaround:
    ====================
    It would be possible to have an auto-generated unique URL for every private user to automatically authenticate them and bypass the WP authentication? Although I know that this would only implement security by obscurity, but this is widely in use as of today.

    Thanks in advance,
