Export monthly events

[Rick Dumont]

Is there a way to export all the events that appear in a given month to .csv or some other format that can be manipulated into an easy-to-read format for print publication? After searching this forum and the support documents it doesn’t appear there is but I thought I’d throw it out there. If not, any thoughts on how this may be accomplished otherwise? The best I can come up with is copying and pasting from list view into a word processor. This then requires an awful lot of manual editing to be workable.
Thanks for any suggestions you can provide.

Hi Rick,

Unfortunately there aren’t really any baked-in facilities for this.

Is this principle problem with copying and pasting from list view the unwanted formatting? If so, would it be possible to paste it into a plain text editor (whether Notepad or whatever your operating systems default is) as an intermediary step before copying and pasting it into your word processor document?

Alternatively, perhaps you could export only events using WordPress’s exporter? This generates an XML file, but potentially you could take this and transform it into something workable, possibly via a spreadsheet application.

Other than that it would be possible to form a custom query using either WP_Query or tribe_get_events() and format the output however you desire, but the details of that are really something we’d need to leave to you.

Does that help at all?

Barry,
Thanks. I’ll look into exporting to xml and the custom query and see if I can get anything to work.

Sure thing – I’ll go ahead and close the thread in that case (as you marked it resolved) but if we can help with anything else please don’t hesitate to create new threads as needed.

Thanks again!

Hi! It’s been a while so I’m going to go ahead and close this thread. If we can help with anything else, though, please don’t hesitate to create new threads as needed. Thanks!
