Automatically check Show Google Map

[Nik]

Hi,
I am importing my events via Facebook on a schedule.
The import works perfectly except there doesn’t seem to be a way to have the map show automatically.
This means the client would need to login and check the map checkbox for every event which would kind of defeat the purpose.

Is there a workaround for this?

Thank you
Nik

Hi, Nik.

Please check out this snippet:

and let me know how it works for you.

Perfect, thank you kindly!
Just a note, I asked a question a few weeks ago about showing Private Group events.
At that stage I was told it isn’t possible, would be good to update your documentation to say it does work as that’s a great feature! 🙂

You’re welcome. Regarding the inaccurate documentation, are you referring to this KB article or a different link?

[Nik]

It was actually in reference to this post https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/importing-events-from-closed-facebook-group/#post-1286001

Ah, thanks for the heads up.

That used to be true from Facebook Importer, but it’s not anymore from Event Aggregator.

I’ve added an update to that forum to clear it up.
