Dec 30, 2008 10:56pm glitch77 User	Unfortunately, this didn't work for a recent evite I got. I only have a link for "Add to my iCal Calendar". Perhaps evite is sensing I'm running OS X Leopard and tailoring the evite for that while the script is looking for "add to Outlook"?

Dec 31, 2008 7:29pm Jon Parise Script's Author	Ah, that's interesting. I don't have a Mac, so I wasn't able to test on that platform. I've just updated the script (to version 1.1) to make things more generic. It should now (hopefully!) work for all platforms. Would you mind giving it another try? Thanks for the feedback!

Jan 5, 2009 1:35am Jon Parise Script's Author	When do you get that error message? When loading the Evite invitation or when the Google Calendar link is clicked? Any suggestions on what I can do to recreate the problem? My invitations appear to be working alright with the current code.

Jan 5, 2009 8:47am glitch77 User	Sorry, I should've said more. I got the error message when clicking on the "add to google calender" link on the evite. It goes to gcal and gives the error message. Thanks for your help-- I realize you can't really support an OS you don't have so I understand if you don't spend too much (if any) time on it.

Jan 6, 2009 4:48am Jon Parise Script's Author	I'd be happy to look into this further, but I'll need a little help. Would you be able to share the "Add to Google Calendar" URL that I'm generating so I can dissect it for invalid arguments? Or if you're willing to do a little legwork, you can toy with the URL yourself to narrow down which bit is breaking the requesting. Thanks!

Jan 10, 2009 12:59am glitch77 User	not sure how to email you the link-- your linked website doesn't have contact info... ?

Jan 11, 2009 10:52pm Jon Parise Script's Author	Version 1.2 should fix this problem. The details string (from the event description) is now trimmed to 1000 characters to prevent exceeding the maximum accepted Google Calendar GET request length.
