iCalendar feeds
July 07, 2012, 05:42:44 pm
What is the correct URL format for an iCalendar feed of CiviCRM events? The links generated on the CivEvent dashboard include the wp-admin directory, which is not accessible to the public.

If I remove the wp-admin directory the feeds when I am logged in as an admin, but if I'm not logged in the file returned includes HTML prepended to the ical file.

Example: http://bikewalkkc.org/wp/?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/event/ical&reset=1&list=1

Seems like this functionality is not working correctly for wordpress

WP seems to output the html before civi outputs the ical feed and this messes things up a bit.

Can you investigate and figure out how to get around this issue. The relevant file and function is:

CRM/Utils/ICalendar.php, function send

might want to check how other plugins handle this case where they do not want any output from WP

Same problem with RSS feeds.  They work fine under the wp-admin URL structure, but not in any publicly accessible URL.

Is there an assumption that all public CiviCRM interaction will be via shortcodes in WP pages? If so, there don't seem to be any shortcodes for RSS and iCal feeds...

1. No assumption that all public urls will be via shortcodes in WP

2. Seems like wp + civi behaves differently for admin pages vs front end pages. As mentioned in the prior post, u'll need to figure out how civi should structure its output when it does not want any wp output preceding it

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately I'm not in a position to do any hacking, but I wanted to report it to the devs. Does anyone know of a workaround? Thanks.
