By default in Odoo only closed source calendars (Google, Outlook, iCal etc.) are shown in the event website view. This module adds also add an generic ICS calendar option alongside some branded open source options.
The iCal and Outlook are using the same ICS format, so the generic calendar option is basically a link to the same ICS file as the Outlook one, but with a different name and icon. This allows to have a more neutral calendar option that can be used in any context, without mentioning specific brands.
auto_awesome What this module does
AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0Adds a neutral "Download ICS" button and a Thunderbird calendar option to event pages and to the registration confirmation screen, next to the existing branded calendar links.
This module extends the event website pages so visitors have more ways to save an event to their calendar.
On the event description page, next to the existing "Add to iCal" link, it adds two extra buttons: a generic calendar icon labelled "Download ICS" and a Thunderbird button. Both point to the same calendar file (the ICS file) that the event already provides.
After a visitor completes an event registration, the confirmation screen also gets two new buttons: "Download ICS" and "Add to Thunderbird". These appear alongside the existing calendar options such as Outlook.
The purpose is to offer a brand-neutral calendar choice (the generic ICS download) and an open-source alternative (Thunderbird), without changing how the calendar file itself is generated. The module does not add any new database models, menus, business rules, checks or automated actions; it only changes the website templates and adds a small style file for the frontend.
