Improve calendar exports

Anton Ballmaier requested to merge 1219-improvements-for-the-calendar-export into master

Closes #1219 (closed)

What does this MR do?

Adds a link to the store page in the description of pickup calendar entries and adds calendar entries for foodsharing events.

Apart from that it refactors a method for fetching events to allow for specific statuses to be included. That way two of the functions previously defined in that class could be joined.

How confident are you it won't break things if deployed?

I am not 100% confident, that all calendar programs support html, but all I know about and have tested do. The refactor is probably more error prone, but I tested the different views where the function is used.

How to test

  1. Sign up for a pickup
  2. Create three events. Select "bin dabei" or "vielleicht" for one, "kann nicht" for another and nothing for the third.
  3. Export the calendar (for example as ics file)
  4. Import the calendar into a program of your choice
  5. Check the imported events. There should be a pickup and two events. One of the events should include the italic hint.
  6. Check that the links work properly.

This is how the entries are displayed in google calendar.
