Submit Facebook Event

[fred]

Hi,
how can users submit their facebook events to the calendar? Maybe by submitting the event url to a textbox? So we can then import it to our calendar.

I know this must’ve been thought about before, is there any way?

Thanks,
Fred

Howdy Fred,

This is certainly doable with our API. Of course utilizing the Events API does require a PHP background and understanding of the WP API.

It probably makes the most sense to add a separate page for community Facebook events, and like you said you could just have a simple form for submitting FB Event IDs. You can use  Tribe_FB_Importer:: create_local_event() for processing the forms data.

If you have the know how this should be very easy. If not we could recommend some developers that know all of the APIs. Does that answer your question? Thanks for posting!

For sure Fred! I just had to track it down myself. Evidently we have changed policy a bit, and we now provide the list through email. You can obtain our full list by emailing [email protected] and requesting it.

Please let me know if you have any trouble or anything getting the list. But a short quick email should do. Thanks!
