Ok. Hopefully this can be addressed in an update soon as the iCal importer is rendered fairly useless to me otherwise.

Should the google map link appear in the tool tip (after creating the address separately)? Or does the google maps link need to be customized into the toop tip?

Thanks

Good afternoon Ryan,

Thank you for your answer.

I agree that this would be a great feature and I’m sorry this means that the plugin becomes useless to you under these circumstances.

The main technical issue is that iCal’s address format sits on a single line, which makes parsing the data very tentative at best (because everybody will have a different way to go about it).

With that in mind, I have suggested to our dev team to come up with an unsupported code snippet to attempt just that. I cannot commit to a delivery date on this one, but I will absolutely keep you in the loop when it’s released (you could then tweak it to your liking).

Should the google map link appear in the tool tip (after creating the address separately)? Or does the google maps link need to be customized into the toop tip?

Unfortunately no. It will not appear in the tooltip. You will have to go through template customization to achieve that.

As for the example you are referring to in our Themer’s guide this is actually not a screenshot of the tooltip, but rather one of the list view. The good news is that this means you could take the code of the list view as a starting point for your customization.

Take a look at /the-events-calendar/src/views/modules/meta/map.php. As you can see, the map doesn’t have a shortcode but there are actions you can use.

In order to become a map Ninja, you can also have a look at our documentation on the map related functions.

And in case you are looking for an urgent solution, you might want to use one of our recommended customizers.

Let me know if that helps. And I do hope that you can take it live too.

You are not bugging us, it is our job after all to help you to the best of our abilities.

Have a great day!

Geoff B.
