Adding discourses events to the event-calendar view & its ical feed

Community Talk

Hi,

I’ve just purchased the plugin and I am happy about what it does, but I thought that it would combine discourse events and external events in calendar that you can share.

So for now there are 2 main sources for events coming either from
-persons organising/sharing events using external calendars
-persons organising events using discourse event/calendar built-in feature

And to represent all this we have 2 separate calendars : the discourse calendar and the event plugin calendar that are both visible in categories.

So why not merge those 2 calendars to avoid confusion for users?

I know that you can import external events in the discourse calendar, but then you cannot export it as an ical feed.

Furthermore, having 1 item called agenda and 1 item called calendar on a category is confusing for end-users

After playing more with both plugins, I understand that “the events plugin” has its own events button and those events show in “the events plugin calendar” with an ical feed without the need for a subscription.

It is more convenient to create the events with the events plugin and not the discourse calendar plugin so we may close this.
