Is there any plan to create ics files instead of api file for subscribing to the calendar? My website can’t read an api file. I have to download the ics file through the api file and then upload it to outlook and then subscribe to the outlook calendar. This breaks the subscription process. So if I u…

So, neither your website nor outlook allow you to subscribe to the link produced by Scoutbook Plus?

@sethtinkler - you never want to use the ics file method as that is static. The best practice is to subscribe via url. The url from scoutbook plus works flawlessly for our sites and is a Google calendar. Is this your first time doing a web site calendar?

I can subscribe via outlook. However I cannot publish from outlook a calendar I’m subscribed to. The website cannot read an api file. It needs an ics like the old Scout book used to have. I’m sure it’s a deficiency with my web hosting. We use go daddy website builder. However, they aren’t changing t…

@sethtinkler There are others subscribing to the calendar using godaddy so it is not an issue with the format of the URL which does provide an ics file. You can use the forum search function to find posts related to godaddy and the calendar.

I did. No one has a solution for the api format. I was hoping that since I spent 20 hours with Go Daddy support we’d be able to find a solution. It does not appear that anyone can or will fix the issue. Thanks for everyone’s thoughts.

@sethtinkler The URL used for subscriptions returns an ics file. You can see this by clicking on the URL for your unit and pasting it into another browser window. If you do this and you get a file that contains only { "errorCode": "M404", "message": "Not Found", "errorDesc": "Calendar is e…

Yes. That downloads the ics file which I then have to upload to outlook, etc. What I need is a link that is not api. I need it to end in .ics like outlook, google, etc. produce when you subscribe to those calendars. Instead of api.scouting.org/xxxxx I need scouting.org/xxxxxxx.ics .

@sethtinkler it is simple - I just put the URL in a web-browser and an ICS downloads - or just add .ics to the URL if you need that [Screenshot 2024-08-30 at 9.46.15 AM]

@sethtinkler - you need to subscribe via url which is what i do for our calendars on our sites. You can look at scouting33.org then the individual unit pages. I am fairly certain that you can do thay on the godaddy page. The method you are using is not the best practice and i know for certain that s…
