Events Aggregator

[Kate]

Hi, So very interested in Events Aggregator (I have all your other plugins) a couple of questions:
– I presume any images would have to be downloaded by me separately?
– How would a user book? Is the link provided in the website link? Does it go to FB?
– I presume any event details as well as time/date are all uploaded via the agreegator?

Thanks.

Hi Kate,

Thanks for reaching out!

– I presume any images would have to be downloaded by me separately?

Images are supported with Facebook, but are not supported with plain iCal imports, for example. So it depends on what specific type of import you are using. If Facebook, then the Facebook event’s featured image will be imported and automatically used as the WordPress version’s featured image. If iCal, or Google Calendar, etc., then no images will be imported and yes, you’d have to manually add them to the event.

– How would a user book? Is the link provided in the website link? Does it go to FB?

Event Aggregator doesn’t provide any booking features, so yes, any booking for events would take place wherever the event originates from. So if the events are originally on Facebook.com, and the Facebook.com version of the event has a “buy now” or “RSVP” button on it, then yes, folks would have to click through to that Facebook.com version of the event and register there.

– I presume any event details as well as time/date are all uploaded via the agreegator?

There is no way to upload event information via Event Aggregator — all it does is import events from other sources. So for any event details like the name, time, date, location, etc., all of this information has to exist on the original event. It will not be created by Event Aggregator.

For example, let’s say you have Facebook.com event with a title, location, date, and time. You can import this with Event Aggregator, and all of that data will be imported as-is. Once the event is successfully imported onto your WordPress site, you can then go into the WordPress version of the event and modify any of those details: but Event Aggregator does not create those details or allow for modifying them, you can only modify details after the importing is done.

I hope this information all helps! Please let me know if there are any other issues or questions I can try to help with.

Sincerely,
George
