Sending VCALENDAR in the confirmation registration email
February 22, 2010, 06:24:26 am
Hi,

Have one of you tried to send the valendar as an attachement to the confirmation email ? So you can automatically add it to your calendar ?

One step further: sending it in the invitation for RSVP type of event, with the yes/no links that seems to be added automatically by outlook and gmail

Hi,

Didn't get the funding to do it yet unfortunately. Would you have capacity to tackle it (code or $)?

You might be able to re-use http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-11117

In particular this part:

this code at
https://fisheye2.atlassian.com/browse/CiviCRM/trunk/CRM/Case/Form/Activity.php?r1=42446&r2=43083&u=3
applies to cases.
Which file and what code would work for events?

Technically activities, not cases. But are activities and events so different, calendarwise?

Offhand I don't know which file handles sending the event emails out. Or maybe can use a hook.
