Hi,
Any way of importing iCal .ics files into event calendar ?
There seems to have been some supporting plugins in the past, but none work with this update...
Event calendar ical : https://elgg.org/plugins/1140519
iCal import/export (events): https://elgg.org/plugins/796431

@Juanduino I have to admit that I'm not familiar with these two ical plugins - haven't even known of their existence until now. I will have to work on the Event Calendar plugin soon anyway to make it working on Elgg 2.0. Maybe I can take a look at these ical plugins, too, then. As the Event calendar ical plugin is written by Matt who is still very active here in the community there might be an update for it released by Matt himself. I just asked him about that. Once I'm done with updating both iZAP Videos and Tidypics for Elgg 2.0 I'll get to work on the Event Calendar and Event Poll plugins again. Let's see if this might involve updating any ical plugin, too.

Thanks!
Here are some thoughts for future development. I gather from your activities that you are busy with porting and the likes, but this just might give the 2.0 some punch for the word wide community.
Im developing a small application for my class, since our view of timetable is so outdated that i simply could not. So have been looking at the old system and been talking with our teachers about what is essential for a backend solution for the overall logistic of planing classes for a educational institution. Academies, universities and the rest. I know elgg in many ways can suit alota cool and wicket aspect of education. Sharing and communicating knowledge. Just one key ingredient is missing. A way for teacher/proffesors to book/create classrooms when signing a event/class... Which is connected to the entire staff´s calendars in order to not double book anyone or anywhere. Finally there should be a good and easy way of viewing statistics concerning the whole lot for admins. ( For each teacher/professor, hours/courses/classes held )
One final note: For the system to have Eminence. Teachers/professors should be able to create a folder for a class/group where one can deliver documents in timely manor. And there you have it;)
A online educational ecosystem/knowledge sharing portal / You name it / Elgg 2.0

@Juanduino The ical import/export is possible with the new release now. Next thing for me to do is continue porting my plugins to Elgg 2.0 (including the Event Calendar plugin). Then I might need some time for some private projects. So, I can't work on adding more features to the Event Calendar plugin in the foreseeable future.
