Custom Fields with Pro Calendar and Community Events

[DD]

A few questions about custom fields and your various products to see if will meet our needs or what will be required to make this happen

Community Events
1. With the community events module if you have added custom fields to your events calendar will the front end form support these or will this have to be custom coded?

Events Calendar Pro
2. When you add custom fields to your event how does that work with the google of ical export feature; will the custom fields make it into the information in the ical export (i.e. the description field)

Hey DD and thanks for reaching out!

Great questions — let’s tackle them one at a time.

1. With the community events module if you have added custom fields to your events calendar will the front end form support these or will this have to be custom coded?

The custom fields from Events Calendar PRO will indeed be automatically available on the Community Events submission form. No coding needed!

2. When you add custom fields to your event how does that work with the google of ical export feature; will the custom fields make it into the information in the ical export (i.e. the description field)

I’m afraid that custom fields will not work with events that imported via iCal. The reason being that the ICS formatting used by iCal does not have those same fields and so it’s not really possible for us to match custom fields from one format to another.

Does this help answer your questions? Please let me know and I’d be happy to answer any other questions you might have as best I can. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff
