    Ok i decided to use a drupal module that exports fields via a view into csv file, etc. For anyone interested the plugin is called views_data_export. Still trying to configure it to export a url for event images. Wondering if after importing into EC, i can somehow transfer the url referenced images into actual files stored on my EC wordpress install?

    Hi Anthony,

    Thanks for reaching out–glad to hear you’re making some progress on your imports here! While we don’t have a built-in tool for pulling images via URL directly from Drupal into The Events Calendar, you may be able to bring these images into your WordPress Media Library using a third-party tool and add them to your events from there. You can find a variety of import tools for bringing content from Drupal here on the WordPress Codex.

    I hope that helps to get you started! Thanks again, and let us know if you should have any other questions!

    Well it turns out that during the importing process the image urls are used to automatically download and add the corresponding image files to my WordPress media library. Nice touch!
