I was trying to import a CSV file to populate our school's calendar, but I ran into this error:

* file_get_contents() failed, try fsockopen
* Not a valid VCALENDAR data file: /tmp/phpJ8bsEg
* 0 iCal events processed

As it turns out, the DESCRIPTION field can only be at most 53-characters long. Anything more, and the CSV Import errors out with the error above.


* PHP version (e.g. 5.2.5). 5.2.14
* Joomla! version Joomla! 1.5.23 Stable
* JEvents version JEvents v1.5.5f
* Web Server software Apache (v?)
* Server Operating system Linux
* Database version MySQL 5.0.91-log
* memory_limit from phpinfo 64M
* Web browser and version Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101203 Firefox/3.6.13 and Internet Explorer Version 7.0.5730.13CO
