When I try to import the ical file below, Jevents version 2.1.12 creates an event with this data:
[list]
[*] from: 20071207, at 00:00 (should be 1500)[/*:m]
[*] to: 20071207, at 00:00 (should be 1800)[/*:m]
[*] by date: thursday (should be friday)[/*:m][/list:u]

It seems that Jevents incorrectly calculates that 20071207 is a thursday, while in fact it is a friday. After explicitly adding ";BYDATE:FR" to the ical event, Jevents does import the right data (both the bydate and the start/end times)

Hi arthurbaars,
did you configure your timezone settings in the ical import/export tab at JEvents configuration?

By the way, you should also update your JEvents installation to the latest 2.1.14 version to be sure you are in the most up to date version of the software ;o)

My timezone is Europe/Amsterdam, in the component settings and in the import/export settings.

I upgraded to JEvents 2.1.14/ Joomla 2.5.4, and the problem persists. The edit view still looks like the attachment. The curious thing is that the times are correct in the "timesheet" on the "Manage Events" overview.

PS. in my initial post i wrote "BYDATE=FR", this should of course be "BYDAY=FR"

Supporting every combination of explicit and implicit value of RRULE values when importing is not easy (as I'm sure you can imagine).

I've not come across an export WEEKLY where BYDAY was not set before now so hadn't dealt with this eventuality.

If you add this code at line 691 of components/com_jevents/libraries/iCalRRule.php (just after currentWeekStart is defined) it should solve this problem

				// no BYDAY specified

				if ($this->byday==""){

					$daynames = array("SU","MO","TU","WE","TH","FR","SA","SU");

					$this->byday = "+".$daynames[$currentWeekDay];

					$days = array($this->byday) ;

				}


thanks for the detective work - the fix will be in the next release
