CSV import of events, disables show map link, show map fields

[Samy]

Hi,

when i try to import events via the buildt in csv import, the values of the fields show map link, show map are always ignored. When i check the event no map is shown and i have to manually check the checkboxes on the edit event page.

I tried setting the values to “TRUE” and “1” and also checked that the corresponding venues have show on map enabled before importing.

What am i doing wrong? How can i enable the show map link, show map from csv import?

best,

Samy

I had the same issue. After somkjke fiddling around, I found, that in “File_Importer_Events.php” of the “the-event-calender” Plugin, in line 206/207 (see: https://bitbucket.org/snippets/wneessen/Ae9pa) are two lines: $event[‘EventShowMap’] = $show_map_setting; and $event[‘EventShowMapLink’] = $show_map_setting;

For my imports the $show_map_setting (which seems to be the value of “Tribe__Events__Aggregator__Settings::instance()->default_map( ‘csv’ )”) is always “no”. So the 1 of my actual CSV file is overwritten with the “no” value and therefore the checkboxes are not checked. I worked around this by commenting out the two lines – still there should be an official fix for this, as any update of the plugin will overwrite my changes.

Nice work sleuthing down that bug Winfried!

In lucky coincidence, I am currently working on another semi-related bug fix in Event Aggregator in the same block of code. I’ll take a look at this and see if I can get a fix included in an upcoming maintenance release.

Good news! I have the patch out for review and if all goes well, it should get included in the next maintenance release.
