Calendar ICS corruption
- The (Drupal-based?) ICS linked for the ACADEMIC calendar does not display properly in MS-Outlook and other ICS-compatible calendar readers (all events form the Academic calendar seem to get display at the current date and time when this screenshot was taken. The ICS portion for the Administrative calendar does not seem to have the same problem).
- Both do seem to display on the Provost webpage:
- The same holds true for the underlying registrar calendar ICS that is aggregated by the provost’s page.
- Some debugging information when loading http://provost.uncc.edu/calendar/ical : “You have subscribed to “p.”. 19 out of 169 events were successfully added to your calendar. There seemed to be some problems with the other events in the file you were importing.”

- Never mind that the voiceover is partially in German – the video should be self-explanatory. If not, here is a written step-by-step on Sanako controlled webbrowsing.
