Q's on this plugin working with Google Calendar ics files

[Epaphras]

We are using the Events plugin to publish all our events on our website, and we are looking for a plugin that can import ics files from google calendars and push these events into the Event Plugin.

I have few questions regarding this event aggregator plugin

1) The events published in the Google calendar can be modified quite frequently ( dates/time change), while these updates are properly captured by the ics files, will your plugin update the events accordingly?
2) Does your plugin capture all the details of an event, I mean we have events with long descriptions ( 100-200 characters in multiple lines), or does it truncate some of the information
3) How well does your plugin can handle recurring events ( some of the events are recurring weekly/monthly/yearly)
4) Is there a fixed schedule for your plugin to import events from ics files or can it import updates, new events on a daily basis?

Hi, Epaphras.

From your list of requirements, it sounds like using our free/core The Events Calendar plugin and adding the Event Aggregator add-on would suit your needs.

A couple notes:

• Event Aggregator does not support importing recurrence series. Each event in the recurrence pattern will get imported, but as a standalone event.
• If you want to create recurring events directly on your site (not anything to do with Google Calendar), you might be interested in also adding our Events Calendar PRO add-on as well.

Last but not least, we have a pretty great Refund Policy so you can buy one or many of our add-ons and thoroughly test them.

I hope this info helps. Let me know if you have any follow-up questions.

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.

Thanks so much!
