Importing the ical file below in JEvents version 2.1.12, gives strange results. Moreover the frontend and backend imports behave slightly differently. The ical file consists of a recurring event followed by an exception to the recurrence pattern.

Frontend: Nothing gets imported into the calendar.
Backend: The recurring event gets imported into the calendar, but the exception does not.

Changing the order of the recurring event and the exception does yield the expected result (recurring event with simple exception at 2007/12/24) for both frontend and backend import.

This problem also persists after upgrading to JEvents 2.1.14. My Joomla version is 2.5.4 (since yesterday)

I'm not sure when this problem started. Until recently the code was correctly matching the recurrence-id that needed changing with the correct set of repetitions - it could be because Mozilla outputs the event and recurrence in a different order to google and other online calendar.

Anyhow if you unzip and upload this file to components/com_jevents/libraries/iCalICSFile.php the problem will be resolved/

Thanks

Backend import works correctly, in both orders.

Frontend import still does not work. Are you using different code for the frontend imports?

No they use the same library code - can you describe what you are doing in the frontend exactly and I'll try to recreate the issue

This was a slightly different issue to do with the the default access level of imported events.

This new file resolves this
