Wasn’t sure if I should post this here or over in the ICAL Extension forum, but there didn’t seem to be much happening over there…<\/p>\n
So I have a client on whose site we’re using the ICAL Extension that is syncing with a Google Calendar. The client contacted me today and said that one recurring event scheduled to start in January has the wrong venue. For the sake of this post I’ll call the venue “Jack & Jill’s House”<\/p>\n
I downloaded the .ics feed, opened it in Notepad++, found the event in question, and saw that the feed had the correct location listed. <\/p>\n
I then went into the list of venues in Event Organiser and saw that the slug for this venue was listed as “jack-jills-house,” with the “&” removed from the slug. <\/p>\n
Looking back at the .ics feed, I noticed that the event just before this one in the feed had the venue that this event was showing on the website instead of its own venue.<\/p>\n
My conclusion is that EO created a venue for this location and removed the “&” symbol. Then on successive syncs it couldn’t match the location in the feed with the venue in EO because the “&” was missing, so it decided to display the location\/venue that was just before this in the feed.<\/p>\n
My advice to the client was to change the location in Google Calendar by removing the “&”, and using “and” instead. When they did this, that event showed the correct venue in EO.<\/p>\n
