Export feed to google calendar?

[wheretoplaygames]

Is there documents showing how to export my EventCalendar Pro events to Google Calendar?

I’ve had to install the eventscalendar in a separate installation of WP because i have to use the tags for U.S. States because the calendar doesn’t have a filter for U.S. State, but it does for tags(?!?). Weird.

So i guess my only option to get the calendar events on my main blog is to export to google cal and show that on my main blog. This, also, is a fudging needed because i can’t seem to get a feed of the calendar to put on my other blog even though it is the same domain.

Am i correct in assuming the above? No State filter and no feed to external site?

Hello wheretoplaygames,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

I assume you’re referring to the Filter bar being able to filter by tags? You’re correct that there isn’t a way to filter by the Venue’s State field, however you could use the “Event Category” to assign the state. This would be similar to using the tags on the separate install but would mean you wouldn’t have to hijack the “tag” taxonomy for your site just for the State filter.

Also, there isn’t a direct “sync” between the events and a google calendar. What you can do is download all of your events (using the “Export Listed Events” on your main calendar list view) and then import them into your Google Calendar follow the instructions from Google.

The closest option you’ll have to a “sync” will be to use the RSS feed generated by your calendar.

I’m sorry I wasn’t able to give you a direct response however I hope this was able to point you in the right direction.

Thanks!
