Exporting individual meetings uses the wrong date/times and text is showing encoding chars

[RCheesley]

Since the latest update:

1. Exporting a single event to Google Calendar uses the wrong date/time (current rather than event)
2. Exporting a single event to Google Calendar shows the encoding chars instead of plain text for the title and description

3. The descriptive text with the link back to the event on Decidim is in German on all events - including those already imported via an existing calendar import:

decidim/decidim#12628 reported upstream in decidim/decidim

@froger any ideas on this? it's causing mayhem in our community as all the dates/times are totally wrong. People are missing a lot of meetings.

Pretty please. Or remove the calendar export completely. Nothing is better than this.

Hello, looking at it right now.
It seems to me the date formatted by Decidim is not well parsed for Google Calendar (using rfc3339 https://github.com/decidim/decidim/blob/484ee5f93215a7c4c6ab06d530b2bb9fcf78bbba/decidim-meetings/app/presenters/decidim/meetings/meeting_presenter.rb#L92).
Trying different formats, will come with some news on Monday.

Thanks,

[RCheesley]

Thanks @froger much appreciated!

Examples:

https://community.mautic.org/assemblies/community-portal-working-group/f/45/meetings/154 - check the encoding on the add to calendar > google calendar.

https://community.mautic.org/processes/roadmap/f/44/meetings/40 - check the dates, they should be 2nd July but are using today's date and 11.30am.

Hello, so it has nothing to do with timezone, but encoding of the link.
I've hotfixed something until I get to find a nicer solution for a PR.

Could you check it works better now @RCheesley ? This would validates we found the issue

[RCheesley]

@froger looks like the issue is fixed, thanks for digging in and getting to the bottom of it! Was it something on our instance, or an upstream bug?

[froger]

@RCheesley It is an upstream bug, will do a PR in the following days

Closing as this bug has been fixed now.
