Blocked "Add to Calendar" in Gmail

Post by MNCruzn »

I'm using EasyList, and have the most current update uploaded to my Firefox browser.

In Gmail, I keep having my "Add to Calendar" link blocked from the frame on the right side of the page.

I have found that the "&view=ad&" filter is causing the issue. When I disable this particular filter, the "Add to Calendar" link shows.

I am not seeing any other ads appear on the page when disabling the "&view=ad&" filter. Any thoughts on the particular purpose for this filter and if I should keep it disabled?

Thanks

Don't know about this Gmail problem because I don't use the "Add to Calendar" feature, but this (edit: Filter) is in the Easylist.. Just to let people know.

Edit: also reported it on Easylist forums for you.

Does an email have to contain any special content to make the "Add to Calendar" link appear or do you see it next to every email? I don't see it anywhere (even with ABP turned off). Does it work in the same way as "More actions" -> "Create an event" or can it do more?

I was able to add an e-mail as a task and edit its details with the filter active. Does this only occur when there are event details in the message?

I think gmail presents the option if the email contains a date and a time. I noticed the issue today when scheduling a personal meeting.

When I had the email open, if I had the filter enabled, it would not give me the option, but if I disabled it, they option was there.

I'm not a very advanced user, so that's about all I can tell you without some guidance.

Thanks,

I'm still not sure whether we should completely remove the filter from EasyList or not and even when I enter dates and times in mails, this link doesn't show up with ABP disabled.

@MNCruzn: Would it be possible that you create a screenshot of this link and post it here?

I don't know if this will help, but for me it's a XML request that gets blocked.. by that filter. However, I too cannot find that link specifically. Gonna be gone all day so I can't reply again soon..sorry Just thought I would post that info in case it helps.
