Debugging Google Sync
Posted: Wed Nov 02, 2011 1:00 am
Unfortunately I am unable to sync to Google calendars. After reading thisthread and using the iCal validator, I found a number of "invalid" entries that apparently don't allow the validator (and, apparently, Google) to parse the file. I couldn't see anything obviously wrong with any of the entries, but I know absolutely nothing about iCal files.
My hope is that someone who knows what they're doing can spot the issue and let everyone know. Then I can communicate with others in the Stake to have them avoid whatever mistakes are causing this issue. That, or perhaps the calendar developers can recognize an easy fix on their end? Again, none of these seem in the least bit incorrect or odd:

Looking at it now, I'm wondering if line breaks are the issue (they didn't show up in Notepad). Is there a way people are supposed to enter line breaks, or are they essentially not allowed? That may be difficult to communicate and explain to people . . .
Thank you!
