Hi Hunter,

Thanks for the detailed reply. Here is a link to someone else who was experiencing the same issue.

https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/importing-private-events-from-meetup/#dl_post-1213963

I didn’t ask my question clearly enough. If I have say 100 meetup groups I’d like to setup to import events from, is there a quicker way to set those up? To the database perhaps? Or do they have to be inputed one by one?

Thanks,

Cappy

It would be great if licenses allowed automatic updates on test sites, because updating becomes a big pain anytime your plugins have updates. Maybe allow the license to work on all installs in any domain? I think most people use something like test.xxx.com for their test site.

Beautiful George! Works perfectly!

Just one last quick question. Is there anyway to get the month-view to display more events in a day? Or even perhaps get rid of the “View all x events” and have the row change size to accommodate all the events?

Thank you so much!

Hi George,

I found this in your showcase.

I was looking for something like that. I am guess the categories above is rather custom, so I sent off an email to see if their webmaster could tell me how they did it.

Cheers,

Hi George,

Is there possibly a way to add a category legend in the template?

Cheers!

Hi Josh,

Ok, I see how it works now. One thing I did notice is that when you enter an address, you must then click publish, then clock lat/lon, and click publish again, or else it doesn’t fill the lat/lon. I think that is a problem I had with some of the listings.

Thanks so much for your time!

Hi Josh,

I actually upgraded to pro before adding these venues. I have tried both with and without the lat/long box selected. Your demo actually does the exact same thing. If you goto your demo in September and search for events with MD for Maryland, it shows the event. But if you search for RI, the Rhode Island event doesn’t show. I realize that maybe you have settings turned off for that event which is why it doesn’t show. However, I have all of them turned on and the state search isn’t working.

It did start working when I put in a large distance. If I put in the state, should it not search the entire state? Or does it just search a preselected area of that state? NY, for example, shows all of NYC, but not the rest of the state.

Thank you

Hi George,

Thank you for that very detailed explanation. After looking at the file, I see what you mean. Sometimes the location is just city and state, and other times it is venue name, address, city, state, and there are no additional demarcations to separate empty fields.

Since it seems that google maps can usually find the location even in the one line format, is it possible to have the plugin look at the address fields, and if they are empty, use the data in the venue title to map the location? Just a thought. Anyway, cleaning up hundreds of venues is still better than entering them all from scratch.

[Cappy]

Thanks Geoff! I will make sure to keep the changes handy in case of updates.

Cheers!

Hi George,

Yes, I am using the brand new ical importer plugin:) Sorry about the confusion. I am not as geeky as I’d like to think I am. 🙂

Hi George,

Sorry, I didn’t realize those were actually files. I thought they were links to another databases. I am using a google calendar link to a file. Does google not format their dates correctly? What demarkation does your import look for? Maybe I can do a search and replace with googles demarkations?

This is how it looks in their file.

Hi Geoff,

I hired someone to fix the issue, and he said he found the error in the plugin, not the theme. Here is what he changed. Can you confirm this as an error, or will what he changed cause an issue? Thank you!

Actually, when I checked the boxes, it didn’t work because the import puts the location in the title of the venue, and not in the address of the venue. In other words, there is no address for google maps to find because it is in the title of the venue field. For example, this is the venue title field of one of the imports.

“The Roxburghe Hotel, 38 Charlotte Square, Edinburgh EH2 4HQ, United Kingdom”

And the address fields are blank.

Hi George,

I am not savvy enough to know where those import files would be. I actually though all the data would end up in a database somewhere. Could you explain where I would find the import files?

Thank you!

[Cappy]

Hi Geoff,

I am completely baffled. I can’t even find Nov 30, -0001 anywhere in the database or the files, so I can’t figure where it might be getting that text from. Do you have any ideas what might cause this?

Thank you,

Cappy
