ics with alert?


Hi I just found out about the ics file format, and I'm wondering whether its possible to include one or 2 alert points in an event entry which will automatically get picked up?

code:

BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20130214T190000
DTEND;TZID=Europe/Amsterdam:20130214T190000
URL:http://www.myurl.com
DTSTAMP:20130205T114500
UID:
CREATED:20130214T190000
DESCRIPTION:Wedstrijd":" 3000H5B2  CE\, Datum":" donderdag 14 februari - 19.00

And for an alert something like:

DTALERT1;Europe/Amsterdam:20130213T190000

or even nicer:

DTALERT1;DTSTART-24H    

Solution

  • for more details refer to RFC5545 ALARM component, in your case the resulting icalendar file would look like:

    BEGIN:VCALENDAR
    VERSION:2.0
    PRODID:pyICSParser
    BEGIN:VEVENT
    DTSTART:20130214T190000
    DTEND:20130214T190000
    URL:http://www.myurl.com
    DTSTAMP:20130205T114500
    UID:UID
    CREATED:20130214T190000
    DESCRIPTION:Wedstrijd":" 3000H5B2  CE\, Datum":" donderdag 14 februari - 
     19.00
    BEGIN:VALARM
    TRIGGER:-PT24H
    REPEAT:1
    DURATION:PT15M
    ACTION:DISPLAY
    DESCRIPTION:Reminder
    END:VALARM
    END:VEVENT
    END:VCALENDAR
