Considering purchase – venue / organizer and import support

[Michael B]

Considering a purchase since this product seems fully featured, but I need to confirm two things-

First, is it possible to auto populate organizer/venue from a given google calendar import feed? (In order words, can I say everything from X calendar should be tagged with Y organizer)?

Second, does the plugin (please tell me which version if so) support the automatic export/syncing to a google calendar, so clients with google calendars can add it and not have to use the website directly to view events?

Hi Michael,

Thanks for reaching out and also for you interest in our products! I’ll help you decide if they are the right choice for your project…

First, is it possible to auto populate organizer/venue from a given google calendar import feed?

Per default the importer will try to pull organizer/venue information from the feed automatically. If there’s no matching organizer/venue it will create a new one. In the case of the venue it won’t populate all the fields (as they are not labeled in the iCal format), it will just save all the info in the title field. You can edit it later. Please read more about the add-on that enables that functionality: iCal Importer.

does the plugin (please tell me which version if so) support the automatic export/syncing to a google calendar,

The above mentioned plugin can be configured to import events from a feed every 30 mins, every hour, every day, etc. To get a feed of the events in your site, you can use the following URL: http://yoursite.com/events/?ical=1 that will return a feed of the upcoming events. No special add-on needed for the feed feature.

hope you find this information useful, and please let me know if you still have any questions on this,
Best,
Nico
