Importing events from agovernment websites with events saved as ics & ?

[Monika]

Hi there, I need your help quite urgently. I need to import events using Events Aggregator from these two websites:

1a/CITY COUNCIL web calender
This is the link to complete calender

https://www.wien.gv.at/vadb/internet/AdvPrSrv.asp?Layout=VAErgebnis_neu&Type=R&GANZJAEHRIG=ja&HKAT=17&KAT=&UNTKATVON=&HAUPTKATEGORIEN=&KATEGORIE_ID=79,126,127,139,140,141,143,144,%2017&brckat=Kinder~Jugendliche%20allgemein&brckatu=&suchbegriff=&WORT1=&WORT2=&SA=&hmwd=d&DATS=E

It seems they are using Google calender as once opening any of the events you get the option to save it in google calendar as ics file – but I can´t figure out any way to export the whole calender to my Event aggregator.
Is it possible?

1b the same events from the same database but provided as Open Data file csv
2/ CITY NGO website
The link is here:
http://www.wienxtra.at/kinderaktiv/?events%5Baction%5D=search&events%5Bfilter%5D%5Bsearch%5D=&events%5Bfilter%5D%5BstartDate%5D=&events%5Bfilter%5D%5BendDate%5D=&events%5Bfilter%5D%5BtargetGroupAgeInYearsFrom%5D=&events%5Bfilter%5D%5BtargetGroupAgeInYearsTo%5D=&events%5Bfilter%5D%5Bcategories%5D=&events%5Bfilter%5D%5BlocationZipCodes%5D=&events%5Bfilter%5D%5BisFreeOfCharge%5D=&events%5Bfilter%5D%5BareGroupsPossible%5D=&events%5Bfilter%5D%5BdoesNotRequireRegistration%5D=#events
Not sure though what calender they are using. Can you pls advice if this is compatible with Event aggregator and how to import events from these 2 websites as re-curring import.
Many thanks! Mon

Hi Monika!

Thanks for reaching out to us! Let me help you with this topic.

I have been able to download the ICS file from the City Council website for a single event like you mention, but I could not find a way to obtain a full list of events in ICS format from that site.

Unfortunately, I’m not able to guess what calendar they are using for their events. I don’t think they are using a Google calendar here, so you might want to reach out to them to see if they can provide you with an ICS file that contains all calendar events or other formats.

As a reference, let me point you to a couple of articles that will get you started at importing events from different sources:

• https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/importing-data-from-a-csv-file/
• https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/import-from-feed-or-url/
• https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/importing-events-from-an-ics-file-with-event-aggregator/

I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Best,
Victor

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.
