ical-events 1.6
I just tagged version 1.6 of the ical-events plugin, with a minor formatting fix and a fix for Google Calendar URLs. The caching code didn’t always generate a unique filename, depending on the URL.
You can download a zip file from Owen Winkler’s site.

Hi Daniel!
I’ve installed version 1.6 and it looks good.
Two things:
1. How are all-day events scheduled? I’ve created all my events as all-day ones. There is one scheduled for tomorrow, April 20th, but it isn’t showing up on either the “past” list (http://www.officetally.com/?page_id=66) or the “future” list (http://www.officetally.com/?page_id=65). Ideally, I’d like it to appear on the “future” list until the day is done.
2. I’ve noticed if I enter an event title in iCal that includes a colon (:), the plugin truncates anything that appears before the colon. So if my iCal event title is “Meeting: With Paul,” it will appear as “: With Paul.”
Thanks!
🙂 Jennie

Jennie,
I’ve just committed a couple of fixes for the issues you mentioned.
All-day events were previously scheduled to start at midnight of the day of the event. The plugin specifically checks for untimed or all-day events now, so it should keep the events until the day is done.
I also corrected a bug in the parser to correct the “Meeting: With Paul” problem.
You can download these fixes from http://svn.wp-plugins.org/ical-events/trunk/. Please let me know if they work and I’ll release version 1.7. Thanks!

Hi Daniel!
1. My “future” events page now correctly shows today’s event for April 21st, but my “past” events page incorrectly shows ALL events, past and future, when it should just show past events.
2. Colon in event title works great!
Thanks,
Jennie

Jennie,
Looks like I forgot to constrain all-day events by the end time in addition to the start time. Please give the latest version from trunk a try.
If it doesn’t work as expected, please email me a code sample at dwcNO@SPAMufl.edu. Thanks!

Hi Daniel,
It looks great! Thanks for your super-responsiveness.
The OfficeTally Calendar is one of the top pages on my site, and I think your plugin has a big role in that.
Thanks again,
🙂 Jennie

Thanks for your help testing the plugin, Jennie! I’ll probably release 1.7 tomorrow.

Do you plan to eventually add MONTHLY events (interval 3,4,6) ?

neb,
The parser appears to have some support for BYMONTH recurrence rules, but I don’t think the plugin handles them correctly (the get_repeats_between function is pretty rudimentary). I probably won’t be able to add support in the near future, but I’d probably accept a patch to add it.
