Missing ICS files when subscribing to multiple events

We have already updated the component with the version from our previous support ticket, the code is same except the sendThirdReminder() method which exists on our site but missed in this attachment. I guess it means that the patch code is already included in current version.

I see that ICS files are generated with event ID suffix, it should help correct?

No, the patch code here is not included yet. I will patch it in next release.

Give me sometime (will use a better library to generate ICS file, but it will requires PHP 7.2+ to work, hope everyone is already use PHP 7 for now)

Hello Denitz

Just checked the latest code and see that the code here is already included. So it works on your site now or not? Or you still have some issue with ICS ?

I will work on some improvements in the ICS generator (so for shopping cart, there will be on ICS file in the email only, not multiple ics files like how it is at the moment). However, it will requires PHP 7.2+ to work, so I decided to leave it to Events Booking 4 (which I will start working on very soon, and will raise PHP requirement to PHP 7.2.5 + - same with Joomla 4)

Hello, the code works, thanks.

Imho PHP 7.4 is the current minimum, 7.2 is dead

The code was added to 3.17.2. I wish I could use PHP 7.4, but I'm afraid of some clients are not ready yet, so to be safe, we will only require PHP 7.2+ for the new releases

Today I have been testing this feature again. We are at 3.17.2 currently

The behaviour I mentioned before is:
- max 3 ICS files/mail even though the user was subscribing to 10 events -> THis was the mistake
- Gmail (via browser) could recognize every of the 3 invites included in the ICS files -> Good

The behaviour I mentioned today is:
- Only 1 ICS file is sent out including all events to which the user is signing up -> Great!
- Gmail (via browser) could only recognize the first event included in the ICS file. All other events were not recognized
- Outlook could read the ICS file well but when you click on the ICS file outlook automatically creates a new calendar instead of adding the events automatically to your outlook calendar.

Proposal for the future:
- A user should receive the calendar invite in the native way he's used to. When I send a calendar invite from gmail to an outlook, yahoo, gmail, or whatever email client user, it's automatically added to the users' agenda without the need to download something. The feature in event booking should work in the same "native" way for a user.
