Re: [Evolution-hackers] Creating objects in ECal

["Teresa Thomas" <tere ertw gmail com>]

Thanks Peter...tried both. Also tried an entirely different VEVENT. Still the same. 

When does the e_cal_create_object() fail/not function properly even when the iCalComponent is (apparently) formed correctly?

Hmm. I'm not entirely sure this is the issue, but I notice that your
DTSTAMP is not a proper RFC2445 date-time value; you'd want

DTSTAMP:20060901T130000Z (i.e. you are missing 2 '0's)

The other thing is that in RFC2445, commas need to be escaped with a
backslash in values to avoid having them interpreted as a list
(perhaps this is not a precisely correct interpretation; someone may
well correct me). However, in CATEGORIES, you actually want a list, so
in general there is no need to escape any commas. BUT.... evolution
usually does anyway, so you might want to try that just in case :P

Hope that helps.. these are just shots in the dark; I haven't tried
either of them myself.

Have fun,

Peter
