    I’d like to load data from external calendars in addition to having local data.  Is it possible to have multiple data sources for a calendar?  In testing I have tried to link to a Google calendar however trying to load the URL directly gives a CORS security error due to domain attempting to call it.  I then tried pulling the data in my controller and using it as the data source but I get Fetch API cannot load (followed by the ical data).

    So maybe two questions, can I load multiple iCal sources (or do I need to combine in my controller) and two what is the ics format in the data adapter looking for?

    Code is simply based on Google calendar synch example.

    dataSource: new window.Smart.DataAdapter({
    dataSource: ‘/calendar/calendardata/.ics?Id=1’,
    dataSourceType: ‘ics’,
    dataFields: [
    { name: ‘dateStart’, map: ‘DTSTART’, dataType: ‘date’ },
    { name: ‘dateEnd’, map: ‘DTEND’, dataType: ‘date’ },
    { name: ‘label’, map: ‘SUMMARY’, dataType: ‘string’ },
    { name: ‘location’, map: ‘LOCATION’, dataType: ‘string’ },
    { name: ‘description’, map: ‘DESCRIPTION’, dataType: ‘string’ },
    { name: ‘rrule’, map: ‘RRULE’, dataType: ‘string’ },
    { name: ‘extdate’, map: ‘EXDATE’, dataType: ‘string’ },
    { name: ‘status’, map: ‘STATUS’, dataType: ‘string’ },
    { name: ‘reccurenceId’, map: ‘RECURRENCEID’, dataType: ‘string’ },
    { name: ‘uid’, map: ‘UID’, dataType: ‘string’ },
    { name: ‘categories’, map: ‘CATEGORIES’, dataType: ‘string’ },
    { name: ‘alarm’, map: ‘ALARM’, dataType: ‘any’ }
    ]

    My asp.net core controller:

    var webRequest = WebRequest.Create(iCalPath);
    using var response = webRequest.GetResponse();
    using var content = response.GetResponseStream();
    using var reader = new StreamReader(content);
    var icsContents = reader.ReadToEnd();
    byte[] icsByteData = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(icsContents);
    return File(icsByteData, “text/calendar”);

    Hi Kris,

    We have two help topics about import with Google Calendar – https://www.htmlelements.com/docs/scheduler-google-calendar-integration/ and https://www.htmlelements.com/docs/scheduler-google-calendar-sync/.

    However, we do not have built-in support about importing multiple files as a data source.

    A sample ICS file which we load and use in our examples is:

    BEGIN:VCALENDAR

    The above file is generated by exporting a Google Calendar.

    I appreciate the quick reply but it does not seem to be working for me.  I took your iCal data and put it into a calendar.ics file on my web server.  I get the same error that I get before when I attempt to load from my controller.  If I put the URL to the ICS file it downloads the file correctly.  Do you see anything wrong that I’m missing?

    Here is the HTML based on scheduler example:

    <div class=”content”>
    <section id=”sideA”>
    <div class=”calButton-container”>
    </div>
    <div class=”controls-container”>
    <smart-calendar id=”calendar”></smart-calendar>
    <smart-input id=”searchBar” class=”underlined” placeholder=”Search this calendar”></smart-input>
    <smart-tree id=”calTree” selection-mode=”checkBox” toggle-element-position=”far”>
    <smart-tree-items-group expanded>
    My calendars
    <smart-tree-item value=”birthday” selected>Birthdays</smart-tree-item>
    <smart-tree-item value=”holiday” selected>Holidays</smart-tree-item>
    <smart-tree-item value=”event” selected>Events</smart-tree-item>
    </smart-tree-items-group>
    </smart-tree>
    </div>
    </section>
    <section id=”sideB”>
    <smart-scheduler id=”calScheduler”></smart-scheduler>
    </section>
    </div>

     

    Here is the javascript code:

    const calDataSource = new window.Smart.DataAdapter({
    dataSource: ‘/landing/calendar.ics’, ///calendardata/.ics?applicationId=@Model.Id’,
    dataSourceType: ‘ics’,
    dataFields: [
    { name: ‘dateStart’, map: ‘DTSTART’, dataType: ‘date’ },
    { name: ‘dateEnd’, map: ‘DTEND’, dataType: ‘date’ },
    { name: ‘label’, map: ‘SUMMARY’, dataType: ‘string’ },
    { name: ‘location’, map: ‘LOCATION’, dataType: ‘string’ },
    { name: ‘description’, map: ‘DESCRIPTION’, dataType: ‘string’ },
    { name: ‘rrule’, map: ‘RRULE’, dataType: ‘string’ },
    { name: ‘extdate’, map: ‘EXDATE’, dataType: ‘string’ },
    { name: ‘status’, map: ‘STATUS’, dataType: ‘string’ },
    { name: ‘reccurenceId’, map: ‘RECURRENCEID’, dataType: ‘string’ },
    { name: ‘uid’, map: ‘UID’, dataType: ‘string’ },
    { name: ‘categories’, map: ‘CATEGORIES’, dataType: ‘string’ },
    { name: ‘alarm’, map: ‘ALARM’, dataType: ‘any’ }
    ]
    });

    window.Smart(‘#calScheduler’, class {
    get properties() {
    return {
    //Properties
    view: ‘month’,
    views: [‘day’, ‘week’, ‘month’],
    dataSource: calDataSource,
    dateCurrent: new Date(),
    firstDayOfWeek: 1
    //disableDateMenu: true,
    //currentTimeIndicator: true
    };
    }
    });

    The error I’m getting is:

    Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ‘appendChild’)

    Hi Kris,

    I suppose that when the initialization function is called, the scheduler is already created. It should be called before the DOM is loaded. Otherwise, it will create unnecessary renderings as every property you set will require re-render in that case. Hope this helps. Otherwise, you may send us a sample which we can test and debug to support@jqwidgets.com.
