No Event Category

[Joshua Hay]

Hi all,

I updated my plugin to fix the issue with no event venue being imported, but the site I’m building really depends fundamentally on the availability of event categories.

Is this not a functionality built into the facebook importer plugin?

Here’s a screenshot listing the events that did import (after deleting all existing events, venues, tags, and organizers):

Hi,

Thanks for using our Facebook Importer.

Unfortunately, the Facebook Importer does not import the categories.

It was not available in the current version of the Graph API to import.

However, we are changing to the new API and then we can look to see if that is available to import with the event.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply,

Do you have any idea when this may be released? I’m just trying to get an idea so we can have some kind of response to the client in question.

Hi,

I do not have a timeline for when this might happen. We do not release possible dates for new features until right before they are about to be released.

Thanks

Hello Team!

I am interested in this as well. Do you have any news if and when an “add tags/categories” option might be developed?

Best wishes
Jacob
