No, not fine...still the same, I just attached an exported event to that previous reply. It still does not allow the import of the calendar file exported when choosing the "Add to calendar" option.

Hi, guys.

It seems that Xristoph is right. Steps to replicate are:

1. Create or join an event in JomSocial
2. Export event to iCal file
3. Try to import iCal file to e.g Google calendar

Result:

"No events was processed.
We can't import events: We can't process your iCal/CSV file"

So it seems to be a bug, I'll report it to our developers.

- Instead of saying: 'it's not working', explain the problem in detail.

HI, Xristoph.

Please, do a safe copy of this file:

ROOT/components/com_community/controllers/controller.php

Then replace original with patched file from package.

Michal, Thanks for the patch, it's greatly appreciated. I see it's for version 4.0.9 but our live site is still running on v4.0.8. Will this 4.0.9 patch create any unforeseen problems being used on v4.0.8? It appears to be working just fine,

There are a few Privacy related bugs in v4.0.9 so we're waiting on a stable release before applying any updates to either JomSocial or Joomla...

Again thanks to you and your team.
