[Suggestion] Add filter before event is saved

[Markus]

Hi,

I’m trying to import events from meetup.com, but this doesn’t work as I wanted. So I thought about writing a filter, which improves the events data, but imho this is not possible as there are no filters available I can use (or are their).

My suggestion would be in Importer.php#saveEvents directly after foreach ( $events as $event )

for instance:

foreach ( $events as $event ) {

     apply_filters( 'tribe_events_ical_importer_before_saving_event', $event );
...

This would allow me to reparse some of the data to a better format.

foreach ( $events as $event ) {

    $event = apply_filters( 'tribe_events_ical_importer_before_saving_event', $event );
...

Even if this is marked as solved, it isn’t.

Hi,

Sorry for the issues with the support tools. Sometimes when a reply is added before we get to it, it gets marked resolved on rare instances.

Anyway, that is a suggestion that I think could help out the plugin.

It is to late to include that as part of 4.0 as the coding is in testing now.

I can write a ticket for us to see about including that in 4.1 though, that is about as much as I can do right now for this.

Although not recommended to edit the plugins in this case you could add the filter yourself for now to get it to work how you would like.

Let me know if you have any follow up questions.

Thanks
