Events: export Events as iCal

[svenseeberg]

Support exporting events as iCal feed.

User Story

Als Integrationsfachkraft möchte ich alle Integreat-Termine meiner Region in meinem PIM abonnieren können, um laufend über aktuelle Termine informiert zu sein.

By the way, I don't know what the exact plan of this issue is but it has been possible to export events as iCal from the browser for a while (and you can add them directly to a calendar app in the native apps without the intermediary of an iCal file).

Do we still need that issue here @svenseeberg ?

[timobrembeck]

@dkehne I guess it's not really required, but if we implement an iCal import, it might be a trivial task to implement the export as well. But prio should stay low imo.

[dkehne]

But why? Just export it from the webapp/app

[timobrembeck]

It would just be a little bit more convenient and we would have the option to export multiple events at once, or past/future/draft events that are not shown in the app.

I added the import iCal issue #100 to Q2 since it is the first step in adding municipality events and calenders to the Integreat app - I think it is an issue that municipalities, especially newer ones have requested multiple times. I would keep this issue if, as @timobrembeck says, the effort is low when implementing the import. We have the PDF creation in the backend as well, even though it's possible in the app.

I think so. I updated the user story.

[JoeyStk]

Not planned for 24Q2 anymore, but for later once #100 is implemented.

@laravoelk could you please ask next week (or in the near future) in the team if it was ever requested by a municipality to be able to export events from our system to iCal files? If not, I think we should close this issue as not planned :)

[laravoelk]

@JoeyStk I have spoken with the team and so far, it was never requested to export events from our system to iCal files. :-)

[JoeyStk]

Thank you @laravoelk. As this hasn't been requested so far, I will close this issue as not planned. It is however, labeled as idea and therefore on our idea board and thus easy to find
