I am a newby in using BORG calendar and maybe it is a stupid question, anyhow...
I am looking for the feature to import a German holiday calendar (ics file) into BORG - unfortunately I did not find the right entry point to do so.
From the forum discussions I deduce that there is a way...
Can someone please give me some guideline?
I am using BORG 1.7.6.3
Best regards,
Ralf
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Then, go to the miscellaneous tab in the borg options window and enable the option to allow the dynamic loading of plugins and then restart borg.
You should see a new plugins menu item on the menu bar. One of the menu options will be to import ICS files.
The features provided as plugins, including the ICS import, are packaged separately because they are not supported. BORG is not fully compatible with Ical. So, there is no guarantee that everything in an ics file will import. It should work fine for a simple holidays file.
If the holidays have categories in the ics file, then after the import you will have to go to the categories menu and choose to display the newly added categories.

Mike

thank you for your quick reply and guidance - with this I could get it to work.
When importing the ICS file I got an error message about a missing tag but it imported the dates anyhow.

Hi Ralf,
Download the BORG Plugins here: http://mbcsoft.com/borg_downloads/plugins.zip and unpack the contents into the lib/ext folder where borg is installed.
Then, go to the miscellaneous tab in the borg options window and enable the option to allow the dynamic loading of plugins and then restart borg.
