    Description

      I run moodle 2.8.1 on ubuntu server 14.04 with webdav server enabled. I created an appointment in outlook and pushed *.ics to webdav server. Importing *.ics-URL shows number of imported / updated events correctly, but after that no events are shown on moodle-calender-webinterface.
      So I opened mdl_event-table and saw, that timestart and timeduration are null.
      What I found out is, that this line leads into empty timestart: DTSTART;TZID="W. Europe Standard Time":20141217T140000
      Changing to this: DTSTART:20141217T140000 works.
      Thank you.
