Sometime during recent series of JEvent updates, we are now no longer able to
1. update a calendar which is linked to a remote Outlook ics url. This has been working properly for quite a while.
2. in trying to investigate this issue, I tried to create a new calendar in the manage calendar function. I was able to fill out the form to create a new calendar, but it was not actually created in the database after submitting the form.

Can you describe what happens when you try to update the calendar? Screenshots/error messages etc.,

Attached is a screenshot of an attempt to create a remote calendar (a copy of the same calendar that exists now).

When I press the Load Ical from URL button, the screen returns to the list of existing calendars but no new calendar is added. Further, no messages are displayed to indicate that it failed to create the new calendar.

I know the ical exists at the URL as I am able to download it from that location and load it into another calendar app.

Also, I am able to create a calendar from scratch in Jevents, just not a remote calendar.

Please note that I have since created a cron job to import the ical file using the instructions in the Jevents documentation but that is not importing either.

Can you give me the source URL of the calendar to check - I'm wondering if the server is blocking your request for some reason

I was unable to import this calendar either - I ran it through the debugger and found an invalid timezone value for one of the events.

the cusomized time zone isn't defined anywhere

This build of JEvents will give a warning message if this happens but will continue - using UTC as a timezone for such events

Hello, thank you for digging into this in detail. We have removed the event in the calendar with the invalid time zone value and now the calendar is imported correctly. Problem with importing is solved.
