Hi, I'm new to JEvents, but after first glimpse I think it's a very good component. I have a couple of question:
1 Where can I find specs for the "RRULE" column in CSV file for import?
2 How can I export events from my calendar (to examine the resulting format and maybe understand what I'm missing in question 1)
Thanks in Advance

See https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5545#section-3.3.10 for a technical description or the alternative is to create some events in JEvents by hand with the repeat patterns you are looking to use and create an export out of JEvents and see how it has set the RRULE value.

Hi Geraint, thanks for your answer. I've already tested (after a few missteps...) the export of a few events (single day, multiday, recurring...) but this results in an .ics file , instead I was trying to import a CSV file, and without any content in te "RRUL" column I can't import any event.
Maybe it's just me failing, but I would like to see some specs on the possible content of each column and what will the import result be.
Cheers

Hello Luigi,

The RRULE is an iCal specification. If you wish to export into CSV you can use the JEvents List of Events Menu Item and select export as CSV within it.

But you won't get RRULE within this. Are you looking to continually export and import or just import?

Many thanks
Tony

Not really, I'm working on a new site (already in production, but with some new feature) where I'm planning to use JEvents. Now I wanto to load quite a many few past events, which I can easily prepare as a CSV, then after startup events will be added one by one as needed. I'm also looking to convert my csv to isc then try to import that. My question arise due to the fact that maybe I'll be working on other sites, so I'm curious to understand as things work.
I'll try also the csv export from JEvents lis as you suggest, but being at the very early beginnig I need to learn how JEvents works.
Thanks for now, I'll be back for other questions.
Cheers
Luigi

You don't need to convert the CSV file to an ICS - JEventst takes care of that for you but if you want to specify a repeating event the RRULE field uses the same syntax as ICS to specify the repeats.
