Cannot import LDS calendars
Posted: Thu Dec 13, 2018 11:12 pm
Hi,
it's really frustrating. I spent hours and hours without luck figuring out how to import and integrate LDS calendars into CalDAV clients. Yes, Google calendars are supported as are Outlook calendars. Those two clients work just fine.
IPhone import was impossible - at least if I followed the instruction given on lds.org.
The problem as it seems to me is that lds.org does not provide a link pointing to a proper ics file. The usual http://www.lds.org/church-calendar/serv ... oer4r32423... will redirect to an ics file but does not point directly toward it. This confuses many CalDAV clients and even services and programs which are able to process ics files without problems.
I spoke with LDS support about it. They couldn't really come up with a better solution. So I'm stuck with no real way to integrate LDS calendars into my smartphone's calendar or any webmail service which offers calendar functions that work fine with any ics or CalDAV address,
Does anybody has an idea?
And@LDS: Why not offer a simple standard conforming ics link?
