Connecting events to custom API

[Ryan]

Hello – we are using The Events Calendar and Calendar PRO on our church’s website. We have a backend system to manage our church’s resources and events called CCB (Community Church Builder). My goal is to only have to enter events 1 time in CCB as the source of truth and have those events imported into Calendar PRO. We have tried using ICS integration but it doesn’t properly update or remove events (it only creates events).

My question is if there is a hook in the Calendar PRO plugin to override the retrieval of events to NOT use WP Posts and use a custom API instead? I don’t mind having to write some code to act as a translator in-between, but it appears that Calendar PRO can only use WordPress as it’s data repository and doesn’t provide any hooks to pull data from elsewhere.

Hi,

Thanks for the interest in our plugins.

What you are asking is not really possible as the plugin is deeply embed with WordPress not just with the data, but many functions as well.

You would be better off starting from scratch then trying to modify our plugin.

Thanks
