Sharing Event Data (W/out API or RSS)

[mvtimes]

Hi,

We are a publisher — newspaper and magazine. We need to be able to share Event data from one site to another.

I’ve reviewed your support forums. Seems you do not support RSS import, and you do not have a REST API. Correct?

Is there currently (as of October 13, 2015) a way to easily produce events on one site and retrieve the exact event information on another site?

Thank you.

Hi,

Thanks for using our plugins. We do not support rss as an import nor the REST API until after it is part of core WordPress.

You might be able to use a snippet and the iCal Importer to grab events from a site.

You could use this snippet to create an iCal file to get all events for the next year from today.

Then using the iCal importer you could import them to another site.

It is a manual process to do though.

That is about as close as we have right now.

Let me know if you have any follow up questions.

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks. Won’t work for us.

I suppose interoperable data might reduce EC’s # of installations, but it will soon be an essential ‘feature.’

Looking forward to your rapid deployment. Thought not in core, the REST api is available now as a plugin now.)

I’ll mark as ‘resolved.’

Best.

Hi,

Yeah there is a plugin, but it really needs to be in core for us to support it so after it is fully baked in with WordPress 4.5 we can do that.

Since this is marked resolved I am going to close this ticket, but if you need anything else related to this topic or another please post a new topic on the forum and we can help you out.

Thanks
