Hello everyone! Today I have released Version 2.0.1 of my Calendarimporter-Plugin.  This is mostly a bugfix release with a few new features.

One of the new features is, that you can now import calendars that are attached to an mail directly!

This function is available for files with the following extensions: .ics, .ifb, .iCal, .iFBf

 

As part of the completely rewritten timezone management I have introduced the „Ignore DST“ button, which will tell the iCal parser to ignore the daylight saving time offsets.

You can now configure a default timezone for the importer in the webapp settings. If the parser detects a different timezone it will automatically switch to that one.

In the previous versions, all date/time calculations were done in JavaScript. Since 2.0 that calculations are done on the server with PHP. You need at least PHP 5.3 to run this plugin.

I also improved the exporter, which now can export more than 50 events. The 50 events limitation came from the list-module in the webapp. It has a hardcoded paging option set to 50 events per page. So now I am requesting all pages of the calendar and merging them together. Hopefully Zarafa fixes this limitation soon.
