A few clarification on Facebook events plugin

[Charles]

1. Do i have to input the pages i want to fetch events from?
2. After Import do i get details (Name, email, Phone No) of the host?
3. Can i add a default image placeholder for events without an image and what is the IMG handling for smaller/poor image posters

Thanks for reaching out, @Charles!

1. Do i have to input the pages i want to fetch events from?

Yes, there is a settings tab in the wp-admin when Facebook Events is installed; and on this page, you can go and enter the Facebook pages where events are imported from.

2. After Import do i get details (Name, email, Phone No) of the host?

No, unfortunately you do not get such information. 🙁

3. Can i add a default image placeholder for events without an image and what is the IMG handling for smaller/poor image posters

This is unfortunately not something the plugin does by default; it is technically possible with some code customization, but is not provided out-of-the-box.

I hope this information helps!

Hi George

Last one, with code customization can i get Details of the event host or its against Facebook’s policies

Hey @Charles,

It all depends on what information you are trying to get. I tried searching for the information you described earlier and did not find it, so it does not seem possible, unfortunately. 🙁

You’ll have to take the reins from here, though, and may find what you’re looking for. You can also use multiple APIs and get as clever as you want! 😉

I would recommend perusing the Facebook API Documentation and posing further questions to them about the API policies and such → https://developers.facebook.com

Cheers!
George
