Recurring event URLs

[jimlongo]

Hi, I am currently using the free version and very happy with it.

One issue I’m looking at is that we are a yearly tennis club and we have the same events year after year. Entering the events is not a problem as i just use the csv import to bulk import them all, but that gives me no control over the URLs that are generated.

For instance we would have Summer Camps 1 through 8, and each of these would run from a Monday to Friday for a week.

So there would be Summer Camp 1 on Monday July x, 2014 through Friday July x, 2014
Then there would be Summer Camp 1 on Monday July x, 2015 through Friday July x, 2015
Then there would be Summer Camp 1 on Monday July x, 2016 through Friday July x, 2016, ad infinitum

So the URLs currently would be something like
http://mydomain.com/events/summer-camp-1
http://mydomain.com/events/summer-camp-1-1
http://mydomain.com/events/summer-camp-1-2
http://mydomain.com/events/summer-camp-1-3, etc.,

Can you describe how the Pro version would enable me to make smarter URLs? Ideally I would like to have the actual date appended to the URL so that they would be something like . . .
http://mydomain.com/events/summer-camp-1-07012014
http://mydomain.com/events/summer-camp-1-07022014
http://mydomain.com/events/summer-camp-1-07032014

Hi,

Thanks for the interest in Events Calendar Pro. I can help answer your questions.

While you are unable to edit the permalinks even with Pro the recurring events permalinks do have dates appended to them.

So here is a recurring event I have that is called “Recurring Test” and these are two different permalinks for it:

/event/recurring-test/2015-03-11/

/event/recurring-test/2015-02-11/

So that gets you what you are looking for correct?

Let me know if you have any follow up questions.

Thanks
