Steps I took to get the above error:
I downloaded the release, unzipped your file and saved all the files from that to the ics folder within the plugins folder, as instructed in your readme. And then restarted the Obsidian app. I searched and found ICS plugin. Then I activated it. And I got the error "Failed to load plugin ics-plugin"

I am using Windows 10 on a PC.

Now that Daily Planner supports an end time on events, include it in the output format.

Would be killer to be able to display other information from the .ICS file like location to get zoom links/meeting rooms/etc.

Hey, I am trying to add my private google iCal to the calendars list and receive following errors. I guess it's related to the contents of an event. Is there anything I can do to help to resolve the issue?

Per calendar, it'd be nice if the items can be checkboxes OR bullets supporting task calendars vs. event calendars.

I've tried to use a calendar from the app TickTick which starts with webcal://.
Replacing webcal for https seems to work fine.
Maybe this should be integrated.

With the time change, some of my event times are incorrect.

Releases are getting named a la refs/tags/0.9.17 instead of just 0.9.17 . Need to fix this before submitting to community.

I don't use daily notes, preferring instead to make notes about ideas, but I do have a kind of "dashboard" note where this could be useful. Is it required to only work on a daily note? Could there be an alternative?

Generalise the setting for what appears before/after the event time, so we can have output like:
- 08:00 Breakfast
- [ ] 08:00 Breakfast
08:00 Breakfast
**08:00 Breakfast**
## 08:00 Breakfast

The subject line says it all

I used the templater example and modified it to also show endTime:

%* var events = await app.plugins.getPlugin('ics').getEvents(moment(tp.file.title,'YYYY-MM-DD')); events.sort((a,b) => a.utime - b.utime).forEach((e) => { tR+=- [ ] ${e.time} ${e.endTime} ${e.summary} ${e.location? e.location : ''}\n }) %>

but I get the following:

• 00:00 00:00 Veterans Day (Observed) United States
• 06:30 07:25 email handling

if I run the import events command manually I get:

• [startTime:: 00:00] [endTime:: 00:00] Veterans Day (Observed) United States
• [startTime:: 06:30] [endTime:: 07:25] email handling

I can, of course change the javascript, but think that if I enable dataview format e.time and e.endTime should be returned in dataview format.

Sorry - one more observation as I was testing the fix for #12

I noticed a recurring event I declined still shows up when Obsidian imports my agenda even though it doesn't show up in my calendar.

Here are the specifics, if it helps with reproduction:

• Event repeats every week on Wednesday
• Someone else owns the event and invited me (this was a bit of user error on their part - I think they only meant to invite me to one occurrence, but they ended up inviting me to all future events)
• I accepted initially, but then declined "this and all future events" starting the week after the occurrence I attended

I did a search of issues and saw #16 , I use weekly notes. happy to specify that in this plugin or in periodic notes. Currently I have weekly notes specified in periodic notes and daily notes disabled.

It would be great if there was a way to use them. the thoughts I had were

1. a command to print all weekly events or
2. the same but following a template or
3. a way to specify where in a weekly note template the ics events should print or
4. a way to print events in the previous/next/current day the current day (probably the simplest?)

If I have a one hour event then a four hour break before the next event starts I don't want it to look like my first event is five hours long.

I cloned the repository and implemented this change but I'm not sure how to share my code. I've never contributed to someone else's project on GitHub before. Let me know if you're interested in my implementation.

When I import calendar events, some of them are always missing. It's not always the same ones. So for example, a recurring meeting that is there every day will appear yesterday, but not appear today. Running it again results in the same results.

The meetings do appear in the ICS file that is downloaded from Google Calendar with the correct date and time.

The meetings I have noticed are recurring meetings. But there may be others (which I'm now keeping an eye on).

Hi,

Thank you for this great plugin. You recently added checkbox or bullet option per calendar (if I have undestood https://github.com/muness/obsidian-ics/issues/67) correctly. However when enabling checkbox on one subscription it changed it for all and vice versa.

Kind regards
Gavin

Obsidian: 1.4.16
Plugin: 1.4.0

I'm using the plug-in very well Thank you.
I don't want to print out the name of the ics

Furthermore, what do you think of allowing the output format to be customized by the user?

• The description of the Google calendar, etc

On the first instance of a recurring meeting, I see them duplicated in the output.

Would be nice to customize the output, especially the 12/24h display.

Thanks!

I have a template for my daily notes that automatically calls Obsidian-ICS and works great. However, it can't run on Android, so if I open Obsidian on my phone before I open it on my laptop on a given day it does not import.

I want to be able to enter some surrounding text to the time that you create when you import the event. For example, I'd like to have 2 fields in the form

start format - [[ startTime:: HH:mm ]]
end format - [[ endTime:: HH:mm ]]

and have it create an event like:

• [[ startTime:: 09:00]] [[ endTime:: 10:00 ]] title location

you basically look for the time spec and only replace that and pass through the rest. Would also be useful to have length used instead of end time.

Thanks for the plugin!

ics name, summary and descriptions are an option. Allow the location to be an option too.

thought this might be of use. a mod to the templater example. puts the description in a callout. also, in MS365 an empty description has content. "\n" or is "", so added a check otherwise after each tasks I get a line with just an indented bullet

<%*
var events = await app.plugins.getPlugin('ics').getEvents(moment(tp.file.title,'YYYY-MM-DD'));
events.sort((a,b) => a.utime - b.utime).forEach((e) => {
const calendar = e.icsName.replace(" ","-");
const callUrl = e.callUrl? [${e.callType}](${e.callUrl}) : '';
const location = e.location? 📍 *(${e.location})* : '';
tR+=- [ ] ${e.time} ${e.endTime} **${e.summary}** ${location}${callUrl} \n
if (e.description && e.description != "" && e.description != "\n") {
const inlineDescription = e.description.replace(/(?:\r\n|\r|\n)/g," ").replace(/\s{2,}/g," ");
tR+=> [!INFO]-\n> - ${inlineDescription}\n
}
})
%>

Recurring events that were created prior to gaining an hour in the fall display as an hour earlier than they should when imported into Obsidian

When importing the calendar some events are appearing at the wrong times. These appear to be meetings created in a different timezone to my own.

Is there handling for this? And is there anything I can do troubleshoot and provide more info?

Plugin failure: ics-plugin Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/acw/works/obsidian/acw-thoughts/.obsidian/plugins/obsidian-ics/main.js

When invoking the ICS: Import events command from the command palette from within a Daily Note, no new content appears in the note. The console error is as follows:

The structure of the Daily Note (created via the Daily notes: Open today's daily note command) is as follows:

---
tags:
---

[[2022-01-06 | << Yesterday]] | [[2022-01-08| Tomorrow >>]]

## Meetings
(add embeddings once created:)
+ [[2022-01-07_XX]]
+ [[2022-01-07_XX]]

## Tasks
### New
#todo
- [ ] task-for-self 
### Carried forward
- [ ] embedded-backlink-here

I have separately confirmed that the .ics link can be downloaded and imported into Outlook manually (outside of Obsidian).

Hi! Is it possible to make the calendar list appear as part of a template? Something similar to an obsidian-tasks template where it generates the calendar for that day when you create a daily note automatically?

Hey There, I have tried to do install the plugin, but the plugin fails to load.
I use windows 10
have downloaded the latest version
unpacked the folder as specified in the README file
placed it in obsidian/plugins and restarted as needed.

My other plugins:

• advanced tables
• calendar
• excalidraw
• periodic notes
• reminder
• rtl support
• sliding panes
• smart random note
• workspaces plus

I really hope this could be solved, it would be a real game changer!
Thank you!

I make my notes for the week at the beginning of the week. It would be great to have the plugin automatically add the events to each date, rather than me going and inserting them manually.

Hello,

I have the following error when execute ICS: Import events.

Maybe because spanish format date?

This may be Outlook 365-specific, but I have several recurring events whose times are being parsed incorrectly. I have a daily calendar block from 8:00 to 10:00am, which winds up appearing at 9:00am in my note. I also have a weekly call on Fridays at 10:00am that persists in appearing at 9:00am. I thought that latter error might have been due to my having created the event when I was located in Central time (I'm now in Eastern time), but that doesn't explain the first error.

In the event it's relevant, I'm using Templater code to pull events in on daily note creation, like so:

<%*
var events = await app.plugins.getPlugin('ics').getEvents(tp.file.title);
var mdArray = [];
events.sort((a,b) => a.utime - b.utime).forEach((e) => {
  const callUrl = e.callUrl? ` [${e.callType}](${e.callUrl})` : '';
  tR+=`- ${e.time} -- ${e.summary} ${callUrl}\n`
})
%>

used the dataview example here: https://github.com/muness/obsidian-ics/pull/33

In 0.9.12 (and probably earlier too) I see lots of recurring events printed out in the log as objects. This is debugging from earlier.

Success criteria

• Remove needless logging.

See https://github.com/hadynz/obsidian-kindle-plugin for inspiration

Success criteria

• #13
• #14

I tried parsing my O365 published ics and it failed.

TODO: add parse error or other debugging.

Isn't .ics a standardized format?
Just tried to use it with Radicale a local DAV server which gives you .ics urls too and it doesn't work unfortunately.

Recurring events seem to get pulled in multiple times when you import events the first day they appear in your calendar. They show up once as a single event, and then get repeated one or more times with "(recurring)" at the end. It doesn't seem to be an issue after the first occurrence.

- [ ] 08:25 📅 Important meeting
- [ ] 08:25 📅 Important meeting (recurring)
- [ ] 08:50 📅 A less important meeting
- [ ] 10:30 📅 Brunch
- [ ] 12:00 📅 Get together
- [ ] 12:00 📅 Get together (recurring)
- [ ] 12:00 📅 Get together (recurring)
- [ ] 12:50 📅 Late lunch (recurring)

As of now, only importing events from all defined calendars is possible.

Hi there. Thanks for the fantastic plugin! This is super useful.

I'm running into a scenario where I've added an additional ICS URL, that is generated by a Nextcloud server. However it throws "RngeError: Invalid time value" and then dies. It also then fails to handle the other calendar that I have configured, that the plugin is happy with.

Have you seen success with Nextcloud ICS URLs in the past? Thanks again!
