Ruby ICalendar Gem：如何让电子邮件提醒发挥作用

Question

我正在尝试弄清楚如何使用icalendar ruby​​ gem，可以在以下位置找到：

http://icalendar.rubyforge.org /

根据他们的教程，你会做类似的事情：

  cal.event.do
# ...other event properties
alarm do
  action        "EMAIL"
  description   "This is an event reminder" # email body (required)
  summary       "Alarm notification"        # email subject (required)
  attendees     %w(mailto:[email protected] mailto:[email protected]) # one or more email recipients (required)
  add_attendee  "mailto:[email protected]"
  remove_attendee "mailto:[email protected]"
  trigger       "-PT15M" # 15 minutes before
  add_attach    "ftp://host.com/novo-procs/felizano.exe", {"FMTTYPE" => "application/binary"} # email attachments (optional)
end

alarm do
  action        "DISPLAY" # This line isn't necessary, it's the default
  summary       "Alarm notification"
  trigger       "-P1DT0H0M0S" # 1 day before
end

alarm do
  action        "AUDIO"
  trigger       "-PT15M"
  add_attach    "Basso", {"VALUE" => ["URI"]}  # only one attach allowed (optional)
end

所以，我在我的代码中做了类似的事情。

  def schedule_event
    puts "Scheduling an event for " + self.title + " at " + self.start_time
      start = self.start_time
      endt = self.start_time
      title = self.title
      desc = self.description
      chan = self.channel.name
      # Create a calendar with an event (standard method)
       cal = Calendar.new
      cal.event do
        dtstart       Program.convertToDate(start)
        dtend         Program.convertToDate(endt)
        summary     "Want to watch" + title + "on: " + chan + " at: " + start
        description  desc
        klass       "PRIVATE"
        alarm do
          action        "EMAIL"
          description   desc # email body (required)
          summary       "Want to watch" + title + "on: " + chan + " at: " + start     # email subject (required)
          attendees     %w(mailto:[email protected]) # one or more email recipients (required)
          trigger       "-PT25M" # 25 minutes before
        end

      end

但是，我从未看到任何电子邮件发送到我的帐户...我什至尝试将开始时间硬编码为 Time.now，并在 0 分钟前发送它们，但没有运气...我是在做一些明显的事情吗错误的？

Answer 1

iCalendar gem 不会处理通知发送 - 警报只是 ical 中的一个概念。您必须实现自己的服务，发送电子邮件通知并附加生成的数据。

Answer 2

http://icalendar.rubyforge.org/ 上的警报示例只是让 iCal/outlook 知道警报应该在事件上设置，并且应用程序（ical/outlook）从该点开始处理它。

与在 iCal 上创建事件并设置闹钟非常相似。

因此 iCalendar 不会发送通知，iCal/outlook 会发送通知。

以防万一其他人发现这个。
