I didn’t add the timezone recurrence or start end dates for the above code. So the correct code should have been

#set($individualid= $request.getParameter(‘id’))
#set($today = $UtilMethods.now())

#set($query=”+structureInode:53146 +languageId:1* +deleted:false +live:true + identifier:$individualid”)
#pullContent(“$query” “1″ “text1″)

#set($today = $UtilMethods.now())
#set($eventtitlefilename = $content.title)

#set ($eventtitle = ‘attachment;filename=’ + $eventtitlefilename.replaceAll(” “, “-”) + ‘.ics’)

#if ($content.allDayEvent == ’1,’)
#set($alldayevent = ‘TRUE’)
#else
#set($alldayevent = ‘FALSE’)
#end

$response.setContentType(‘text/calendar’)
$response.setHeader(“Content-disposition”, $eventtitle)

with the added information in the begin:standard and begin:daylight tags. Sorry. Didn’t catch it until the time actually changed.

for what’s it worth, I converted code to single entry export for individual calendar items.

#set($individualid= $request.getParameter(‘id’))
#set($today = $UtilMethods.now())

#set($query=”+structureInode:53146 +languageId:1* +deleted:false +live:true + identifier:$individualid”)
#pullContent(“$query” “1″ “text1″)

#set($today = $UtilMethods.now())
#set($eventtitlefilename = $content.title)

#set ($eventtitle = ‘attachment;filename=’ + $eventtitlefilename.replaceAll(” “, “-”) + ‘.ics’)

#if ($content.allDayEvent == ’1,’)
#set($alldayevent = ‘TRUE’)
#else
#set($alldayevent = ‘FALSE’)
#end

$response.setContentType(‘text/calendar’)
$response.setHeader(“Content-disposition”, $eventtitle)
