    Hi,

    I’m using Ical in several categories, of which one is:
    https://www.verwisseling.nl/events/category/geboekt/feed/eo-events/
    This works fine when importing in Google Calendar.

    However, another webdesigner now needs a straight .ics link in stead of the /feed/eo-events/ URL.
    Thus, he would like to have https://www.verwisseling.nl/events/category/geboekt/feed/items.ics

    Question: does the pro-version has a way to present a straight .ics URL, just as for instance Google offers direct .ics URL’s? Or is this other webdesigner asking for someting rediculous?

    Looking forward to your answer.
    Bests, Maurice.

    Hi Maurice,

    No, Pro doesn’t offer this, but the URL should be usable – you generally don’t need the .ics file extension; in fact I’m not of aware of any reason you would need that.

    Most third-party applications should be able to import it from that url, and links to it should prompt the browser to download it as a file.

    Hi Stephen,

    I sort of expected your answer, but still: good to have your confirmation.

    Thanx!
    Cheers, Maurice.

Your information:




To create code blocks or other preformatted text, indent by four spaces:

    This will be displayed in a monospaced font. The first four 
    spaces will be stripped off, but all other whitespace
    will be preserved.
    
    Markdown is turned off in code blocks:
     [This is not a link](http://example.com)

To create not a block, but an inline code span, use backticks: 

Here is some inline `code`.
