ics file: Replacing location text by URL: to videoconferencing room

Yes. Could NOT find in global settings any parameter to enable additional fields. Neither in edit event page nor on advanced are lthe mentioned fields.

The created Button/label (Jitsi Videokonferenz) is visible in the description of the event but not in the ics file.

My initial intention was to be able to create an "online" meeting without location and instead a button/link to the Jitsi meeting room (replacing the original location text in the different views (banner, teaser,....) and see that also in the ics file.  

Thanks for the screenshots. I've noticed a difference: JEM 4.5.0 lacks the two fields in the Advanced tab, but JEM 5.0.0 includes them.



Give me a moment to add it and run some tests.
 

Other issue with more info: github.com/jemproject/JEM-Project/issues/2139

Done. Don't forget to read the previous issue link #2139, because at the end, you have a manual about it.

Test it with the new RC2 refreshed zip [16.06.2026 09:00]:

JEM 5.0.0 rc2:
[github.com/jemproject/JEM-Project/blob/JEM-5.0.0-dev-beta1-from-4.5.0/pkg_jem_v5.0.0rc2.zip]( github.com/jemproject/JEM-Project/blob/JEM-5.0.0-dev-beta1-from-4.5.0/pkg_jem_v5.0.0rc2.zip )

JEM 4.5.0 rc2:
[github.com/jemproject/JEM-Project/blob/JEM-4.5.0-dev-bugfix-newfeatures/pkg_jem_v4.5.0rc2.zip]( github.com/jemproject/JEM-Project/blob/JEM-4.5.0-dev-bugfix-newfeatures/pkg_jem_v4.5.0rc2.zip )

Tell me if it works.

Hi thanks for your quick response. 

I now see the additional fields in the event advanced tab. But the details event view does not include the information.

In your feature description you wrote: 

• The feature can be enabled or disabled from global settings.

but i can not find the switch. Is it disabled by default? Where to find?

 

But if you enter data in these two fields (URL + Label), doesn't that info appear in the event description inside the ICS file?

It's added automatically, but if you don't fill them in and if you've created an online link, JEM uses that data to include it in the event description.For JEM 4.5.0 RC2, which is the Joomla 5 version, the online meeting link is added to the ICS file in a compatible way: it can be included in the event `DESCRIPTION`, and JEM may also add non-standard `X-` properties for calendar clients that support them.This follows the base iCalendar format defined by RFC 5545, where `DESCRIPTION` is a standard event property and `X-` properties are allowed as non-standard extensions.

The standard `CONFERENCE` property is defined later in RFC 7986. This is used in JEM 5.0.0 RC2, the Joomla 6 version, where we use the newer calendar library and can add the online meeting reference directly as a `CONFERENCE` property.

So, in JEM 4.5.0 RC2, please check whether the online meeting URL and label appear in the event description inside the generated ICS file. If not, send a capture of setting and content od your ics file.
