This is a follow-up to the thread ending with: http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/vpim-talk/2008/000120.html I too am in search of some ruby parser for icalendar which properly handles timezones on the datetimes in the icalendar RFC. As I understand it there are actually three types of times. 1) UTC times with a string form of yyyymmddThhmmssZ note the trailing Z indicates zulu...

Hi all, Is there a way in vpim to edit an individual field in a vcard. I have a set of vcards stored in a db and would like to be able to edit individual fields in the vcard and then save the vcard back to the db. I didn''t see any methods for editing a vcard in the api. Do I need to create a new vcard and repopulate it...

I''ve also integrated your tests, thanks.

Has anyone successfully used vPim with Rails? Please let me know of your experiences OR where I can find documentation to do so.

Railoholic-Anonymous Members: I am tooling around with the idea of forming a project which would create a calendar plugin/engine with the following features: 1. DB schema mapping all necessary iCal (RFC-2445) fields. 2. Probably utilizing either vpim (vpim.rubyforge.net), or iCalendar (icalendar.rubyforge.net). (First choice would be vpim since some attendee functionality requires vcard elements) 3. Basic Day, Week, Month, Year XHTML layouts customizable with a base CSS. 4. Controller mapped URL''s for iCal subscriptions. Later Feature...

Hello all, I am currently evaluating the vpim libraries and like them very much. However there''s one thing I can''t get done: How can I set the TZID parameter for DTSTART/END dates so my encoded ICS file looks something like this: BEGIN:VEVENT ...

I''m trying to add Vcard import functionality and I keep getting the following using the code provided below. I''m using the VPIM library to decode the vcards and add them to my database table.

I''m currently looking to build a contact manager with Rails. I need to offer Vcard import / export capabilities. I have VPIM setup in my Rails app, but I''m a little stuck on how to pull the correct data from the vcards. I''ve looked at the docs for VPIM and those have helped get me started, but I still can''t figure out how to pull specific data. As an example, I''d like to be able to...

...here. No, I''d decoded, but not encoded. Tell me what you find, I can add support to make it easy. Probably won''t have time myself today, have to address the issues you and another reported over the last week. Only have a few hours. Might try if I have time. Btw, subscribing to vpim-talk might be convenient, its very low traffic, and allows anything you have trouble with to be noticed by others. You might get lucky, maybe someone else has done this sucessfully. Cheers, Sam

We''re using Vpim to parse iCal and vCard files, and so far it''s been great. However, when we were parsing some iCal files we noticed that all the endlines in the description section were disappearing. I start peering through the source code and find (in the Field#to_text method that is being called): # Th...

Sorry for the delayed response Derek, I was away on vacation till recently. Anyhow, yeah, you''re right, I don''t know whats going on, I''ll have to ask the rubyforge guys.

I am brand new to vpim, so I tried to use the example cmd-itip.sh. But it fails on the code: if e.comments with the error message: ./cmd-itip.txt.sh:113: undefined method `comment'' for #<Vpim::Icalendar::Vevent:0x101899c> (NoMethodError) In the rdoc it says there should be Icalendar::Get::Comm...
