Common Moodle Violations

We've analyzed thousands of Moodle calendar feeds. Here are the most common RFC 5545 violations we detect and repair automatically at the network edge.

Missing VTIMEZONE

CriticalFound in 54% of feeds

Calendar feed lacks VTIMEZONE definition for non-UTC times

Impact

Events appear at wrong time on iOS/Android (typically 4-8 hours off)

How Lokr Fixes It

We inject RFC 5545-compliant VTIMEZONE blocks automatically

Technical Details

RFC 5545 §3.6.5 requires VTIMEZONE components for all non-UTC DATETIME values

Stale DTSTAMP

HighFound in 71% of feeds

DTSTAMP is more than 7 days old

Impact

Calendar clients may reject updates or fail cache invalidation

How Lokr Fixes It

We refresh DTSTAMP to current UTC time on every request

Technical Details

RFC 5545 §3.8.7.2 requires DTSTAMP to reflect last modification time

Broken RRULE Syntax

HighFound in 41% of feeds

Recurrence rule has invalid syntax or unsupported values

Impact

Recurring events fail to repeat or show incorrect instances

How Lokr Fixes It

We sanitize RRULE syntax and normalize FREQ, BYDAY, UNTIL values

Technical Details

RFC 5545 §3.3.10 defines strict RRULE syntax requirements

Invalid Escape Sequences

MediumFound in 24% of feeds

Text fields contain invalid escape sequences like \t or \r

Impact

Text appears garbled or with literal backslashes

How Lokr Fixes It

We normalize to RFC 5545-compliant escape sequences (\n, \,, \;)

Technical Details

RFC 5545 §3.3.11 defines valid escape sequences for TEXT

Why Moodle Feeds Fail

Integration with legacy systems like Moodle requires infrastructure-level remediation to ensure mobile sync reliability.

RFC 5545 Violations

Moodle exports often mix RRULE and RECURRENCE-ID incorrectly, causing 'Failed to Parse' errors on iOS.

Detailed Error

The VEVENT contains a property that is not supported by Microsoft Exchange.

Fix with Lokr

Export Range Limits

Default exports are often limited to 60 days. Lokr can chain requests or better cache upcoming terms.

Google Sync
12h
Lokr Proxy
~200ms

We force-refresh the feed headers to bypass Google's 12-hour cache.

Availability Sync

Students often see 'busy' blocks instead of course names due to privacy settings. We help normalize this.

Trusted by Moodle Teams

We don't sell to end-users. We build for the engineers and admins who have to keep the systems running.

"Ellucian Banner generates compliant ICS files for desktop, but they break on iOS. Lokr standardizes the output so students actually see their exam schedules."

James T.

University Registrar, Major State University

"Integrating Canvas was easy, but the calendar subscriptions were flaky. Lokr's proxy layer stabilized the Canvas feeds for over 40,000 students."

Elena R.

CIO, Private Research University

"We use Salesforce for alumni events. Lokr cleans the feed so alum on old Android devices still get the correct event times."
