Event calender pro import function

[Martijn van der pluijm]

Hello

For the website http://www.buitengewoonontwikkelt.nl/solostories i am trying to import events but its not working.

I can import locations true a csv file and its working great.
But if i want to upload a csv file as a “event” it says its imported was succesfull but nothing was imported.

I tried to use your demo CSV file but it is not working as well: https://theeventscalendar.com/content/uploads/2017/03/test-data-events.csv

Can anyone please help me to fix this problem.
I want to be able to load a CSV file with all my events in it so i dont have to do this by hand.

With kind regards

Hello Martijn,

Thanks for reaching out!

I’m sorry you are having trouble with the CSV import. I think I can help you solve this one.

Once you uploaded the csv file (like the sample file), then you can use that for importing first the Venues and the Organizers and then the Events.

Happy to hear you manage to import the Venues.

When you are trying to import the Events, when do you get stuck? What is the process you are doing?

Here is how I would do it after importing Venues and Organizers:

1. Go to Events > Import > Import origin: CSV
2. Choose ‘Content type: Events’
3. Choose the file that contains the data
4. Click ‘Preview’ and wait for the sample data to load
5. Assign the needed columns. What is surely needed is: Event Name, Event Start Date, Event End Date. Assign whatever else you need.
6. Select what the Status and the Category of the imported events should be
7. Click on ‘Import All’

This should import all the events in the CSV file. If you have assigned Venues and Organizers to the appropriate columns (and you have imported those already) then those will be also saved.

Let me know if you do anything differently.

Also make sure that the events that you want to import are not on the ‘Ignored’ list (meaning previously imported and deleted / ignored). You can find the ignored events if you go to your event list on the back-end and click on the ‘Ignored’ link at the top. (screenshot)

Cheers,
Andras

Thanks Andras!

The problem was indeed “What is surely needed is: Event Name, Event Start Date, Event End Date. Assign whatever else you need.”

Many thanks for the good help!
