Event Aggregator two way sync question

[James Theall]

We have been successfully using Event Calendar and now want to add additional functionality. Namely we want to consolidate another calendar from a proprietary LMS which does have and events API so I am assuming we can use Event Aggregator to bring that in. Cool. But we want to also take this consolidated collection of events and share it with our members (113+ independent campuses) which they could embed in their own sites, etc. I am thinking if we can sync/export TO Google Calendar then this would be easily shared in a format many are already familiar with. But it does not appear that Aggregator does two way sync only import one way. (The export is for individuals and not a calendar sync) Is this correct? Also am I missing some existing functionality that would easily allow us to share an embeddable calendar with others?
Thanks.

Hi James

Event Aggregator can only import or export events. It truly doesn’t synchronize events. If it has imported an event and the event is later deleted at the source, it must be manually deleted from the calendar too. Likewise, it doesn’t push data to another place. It does offer a file that you can export and take to another site to import.

Event Aggregator does not yet support embedding the calendar either.

However, we also have a new product: http://loxi.io that does support being able to embed the calendar on many sites and platforms all at once. Sign up for a free trial account there and see if meets your needs.

Is there anything else I can help you with?

Thanks
Courtney 🙂

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics.

Thanks so much!
