Importing CSV file and recurring events

[Great Taste]

Hi,

My CSV file contains one-time events as well as ones that are scheduled at the same time every week/month. I wanted to ask if The Event Calendar will recognize the repeating events as recurring events when importing the CSV file so that they can be classified as recurring events. If not, what can I do to import these recurring events?

Howdy Great Taste,

Good question. Those events will not be imported as recurring events. The recurring rules proved too complicated to be able to import via CSV. The only way to setup recurring rules is manually. You could import the first event in the series, then edit it to add the recurrence rule.

I wish I had better news here. We are hoping to add recurrence support to our iCal importer, but even that format has proved hard to adapt the recurring rules for.

Does that answer your questions?

Cheers!
