Facebook event import "does not have any upcoming events"

[samfordchamber]

We’re wanting to schedule the import of events from number of Facebook groups via Event Aggregator. Some have worked already 🙂

But if a Facebook group doesn’t currently have any upcoming events (even if it has past events) then the New Import feature doesn’t allow the group’s Facebook URL to be imported and says “{Group name} does not have any upcoming events”. Is there a way to get around this?

Hello Bradley!

Thanks for reaching out to us!

Unfortunately, that is a bug we are already aware of and we’ll address it in one of our future maintenance releases.

What I’ll do is change this thread’s status to “Pending fix” and link it to the bug report. This way we can let you know as soon as a bugfix is released for it.

I apologise for this inconvenience and we’d appreciate your patience in the meantime.

Please do not hesitate to ask any other questions you may have and I’d be happy to assist.

Best,
Victor

Just wanted to share with you that a new maintenance release is out, containing a fix for this issue ?

These are the improvements shipped for Events Aggregator this release:

• Fix – Avoid Event Aggregator previews or scheduled imports being marked as failures.
• Fix – Fixed an issue that would sometimes render Event Aggregator options invalid even with a valid license.
• Fix – Fixed an issues where Event Aggregator scheduled imports could not run other than manually.
• Tweak – Improve Event Aggregator message regarding Facebook token expiration.
• Tweak – Support importing from URLs (Event Aggregator) where the protocol hasn’t been specified by defaulting to HTTP.
• Tweak – Added filter: tribe_aggregator_meta_source to filter the Event Aggregator import source.
• Tweak – Added filter: tribe_events_linked_post_meta_values_{$current_linked_post_meta_key} for filtering the array of values retrieved for a specific linked post meta field.
