Facebook Event didn’t import event time, import as allday event

[Christian Kramer]

Hi,

since the update to version 3.8 Facebook event were not imported with the time saved in Facebook. Instead of this the events are be imported as allday events, starting with the start date and ending with the day after the event.

A big or a feature? 😉

Thanks for a hint.

Hi Chris,

Seems like a bug to me – and I’ll log it for further attention. In the meantime, could you try adding the following snippet to your theme’s functions.php file?

add_filter( 'tribe_fb_determine_if_is_all_day', 'correct_imported_fb_all_day_status', 10, 3 );

function correct_imported_fb_all_day_status( $all_day, $start_time, $end_time ) {
	if ( ! $all_day ) return $all_day;

	try {
		$start_time = new DateTime( $start_time );
		$start_time = $start_time->format( TribeDateUtils::TIMEFORMAT );

		if ( $start_time !== '12:00 AM' ) {
			add_filter( 'tribe_fb_parse_facebook_event', 'fb_correct_end_time_to_start_time' );
			return false;
		}

		return $all_day;
	}
	catch ( Exception $e ) {
		return $all_day;
	}
}

function fb_correct_end_time_to_start_time( array $args ) {
	$args['EventEndHour'] = $args['EventStartHour'];
	$args['EventEndMinute'] = $args['EventStartMinute'];
	$args['EventEndMeridian'] = $args['EventStartMeridian'];
	return $args;
}

This should help to correct things until we can get a substantive fix together (definitely let me know if it doesn’t help though).

Thanks!

Hi! It’s been a while so I’m going to go ahead and close this thread (though we’ll re-open and post an update as work on the bug progresses). If we can help with anything else, though, please don’t hesitate to create new threads as needed. Thanks!
