Google Calendar is very picky about the data it will accept from an ICS
file provided to it via a URL (i.e. subscribing to a calendar).

The attached patch resolves the issue by converting all times to UTC, and
setting the TZID to Etc/Universal, which Google seems to like.

This seems to be the least invasive means to get the calendar to work
correctly with Google. Another method would be the leave out the TZID, and
add a "Z" to the end of the UTC time string, but the vcalendar class
doesn't seem to support this natively.

Comment(by anonymous):

Another method would be to use the X-WR-TIMEZONE property of vcalendar.
This property is supported by Google calendar, Outlook, and iCal, amongst
others I'm sure. The code I put in modules/tv/tmpl/ical/upcoming.php is

$tz = date("e");
$calendar->setProperty( "X-WR-TIMEZONE", $tz );

Comment:

(In [24910]) Fixes #7270, this adds in the X-WR-TIMEZONE header by default
to all vcalendar outputs

Comment (by matt@…):

Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to do the trick for Google. They say they
need this, but they also need the much more complex
VTIMEZONE/TZID/TZOFFSETFROM/TZOFFSETTO... type entries. I think the
original approach of utilizing UTC is much more simplistic, and actually
works with Google atrocious ICAL parser.
