Remember this date error

[+9Key]

I noticed a new(?) little icon on event cache pages but it throws an error when you click it.

Sounds like nice functionality when its working.

Hmmm...I wonder what it's supposed to do. Send an email reminder on that date? Put in my gc.com page?

 

Sounds interesting. I'm always forgetting about event caches, as I don't tend to really plan around them and only show up "last minute" if it turns out I'm available.

I clicked on one of these a week or so ago at home and I got a file download. It was a file that could be imported into MS Outlook. I have MS Outlook Express at home so I could not open it.

 

I get the error message as well when clicking on it now.

From the icon, I would think you should be able to buy St. James Place.

That's cool. Would be nice if it just sent you an appointment request that you could accept, rather than having to import a file...seems it would be simpler for me to just add it manually to the calendar (I don't use Outlook at home but do at work).

It worked when I first tried it last week. In my case, it placed the info in my iCal (OSX). Now it brings up a "server error" type page. It's been doing that the last few days now.

Most "real" calendar applications will understand this file and open it natively, this includes outlook, the palm desktop (I forget the exact name of it), and several others. You shouldn't have to import anything unless your file associations are wrong.

 

When I click on one (I use outlook) it opens up like a regular appointment, then I can save it, modify it, or whatever I want.

 

My only complaint about the whole thing (I posted a message about this a while back and TPTB never responded and I don't think its been fixed) is that the time comes up wrong. But then again, there is no way for the event cache owner to set the time, so this would probably take a modification to the event cache setup.

Thanks for clarifying, as I haven't been able to receive a file yet. By "import" I thought he meant having to save the file, go to File->import/export etc...

 

If it's just a double click to open the attachment, then that's fine. Hope it's fixed soon so I can check it out.

The update last week had inserted a bug into the vcard implementation on events. I'll be posting a patch today that should fix it.

 

Vcards aren't specific to any particular application. It should work with Outlook, Google Calendar, etc.

 

And yes - there is no time available for events so it just picks midnight.

It is working again.

You mean pay me the rent for a hotel on St. James Place, since I already have a monopoly on it, right?
