Add to Google calendar doesn't work

[Anonymous]

I use WordPress 3.2.1 with EME 4.0.1. In the settings for a single event (german: Standardformat für eine Einzelveranstaltung) I’ve got this code:

---

<p>#d.#m.#Y – Beginn #H:#i Uhr</p>

<p>#_LOCATIONNAME – #_ADDRESS – #_TOWN</p><p>#_NOTES</p>

Routenplanung mit Google Maps
(Startstraße und Hausnummer eingeben)
#_DIRECTIONS

#_MAP

Add to Google Calendar

---

My problen is, that a click on the ‘Add to Google Calendar ‘ opens a new entry, but without any data inside. So no time, no location and also no eventname. In the URL-field of my browser (I tried chrome & firefox) I can find this:

https://www.google.com/calendar/render?action=TEMPLATE&eamp;text=HSV+IV+%26%238211;+Niendorfer+TSV+II&eamp;dates=20111023T110000/20111023T130000&eamp;sprop=http://dietorjaeger.de/?page_id%3D16%26amp;event_id%3D15&eamp;location=Ulzburger+Stra%C3%9Fe+94,22850+Norderstedt&eamp;details=HSV+%26%238211;+Paul-Hauenschild-Anlage&pli=1&sf=true&output=xml

I’ve no idea, how to solve this problem.

Thanks for suggestions.

What do you use for the “Add to google calendar”? That’s not a functionality I provide …

I found a hint in the EME FAQ: How to add a “Add to Google Calendar” link to an event

I use it on my site http://dietorjaeger.de/?page_id=21 in each single event under the map to enable myself an others to “copy” the eme data for a soccer match from WordPress into the Google Calendar.

The FAQ contained an error: &eamp; should just be &

Try that (I corrected the FAQ)

The code is now:

<p>#d.#m.#Y – Beginn #H:#i Uhr</p>

<p>#_LOCATIONNAME – #_ADDRESS – #_TOWN</p><p>#_NOTES</p>

Routenplanung mit Google Maps
(Startstraße und Hausnummer eingeben)
#_DIRECTIONS

#_MAP

Add to Google Calendar

The Problem remains.

Sorry, confused:

Code:

<p>#d.#m.#Y – Beginn #H:#i Uhr</p>

<p>#_LOCATIONNAME – #_ADDRESS – #_TOWN</p><p>#_NOTES</p>

You forgot to remove the “;” after the “&”

[Anonymous]

That’s better. Now it is nearly what I want. But one problem is open. The “-” is convertet to a “–”. So HSV I – VfL Wolfsburg I is in Google Calendar HSV I – VfL Wolfsburg I. Same with other fields containing “-“.

My code: Add to Google Calendar

[Franky]

Errr … I don’t see a difference in both “-” shown in your post? Can you give a real example for this?

[Anonymous]

The problem on this site is, that works fine and convertes the code correct. So I put a space beween the signs: & # 8 2 1 1 ;

So HSV – Wolfsburg will be HSV & # 8 2 1 1 ; Wolfsburg.

When I use HSV-Wolsburg (without space before an behind the “-” everything is okay.

[Franky]

The character you’re describing is a long “-“, not belonging to the standard for url’s. Since the add-to-google happens via a url, this character is not allowed and converted to it’s html representation. Probably it’s your browser or a copy-paste causing the long “-“.

I’ll try that (using firefox mobile / chrome). Otherwise I’ll work without spaces.

Thank you for your support.
