This handler has been consolidated into the Universal Web Scraper as the IcsExtractor.

Previously the handler lived at inc/Steps/EventImport/Handlers/IcsCalendar/IcsCalendar.php with IcsCalendarSettings.php. That standalone handler and its settings were removed; existing flows should migrate to the scraper-based extractor by reconfiguring the fetch step to use the UniversalWebScraper handler.

See docs/universal-web-scraper-handler.md for extraction behavior and inc/Steps/EventImport/Handlers/WebScraper/Extractors/IcsExtractor.php for the implementation.

Migration

The IcsExtractor handles ICS/iCal feeds within the Universal Web Scraper:

1. Detects ICS feeds by URL extension (.ics) or webcal:// protocol.
2. Converts webcal:// to https:// automatically.
3. Parses VEVENT components using the johngrogg/ics-parser library.
4. Applies keyword filtering and venue overrides via standard handler settings.
5. Supports RRULE recurring events, EXDATE exception dates, and RDATE additional dates.

Configuration

When using the Universal Web Scraper with an ICS feed:

• source_url: The ICS feed URL (.ics or webcal:// links)
• search / exclude_keywords: Comma-separated filters applied before normalization
• Venue override fields: Available via VenueFieldsTrait in handler settings
