Hi Nico
The actual need would be twofold: 🙂
1. To have the EventBrite events imports on a reacquiring basis – which would be AMAZING! ( and probably all the people who purchased the EventBrite addon would agree with me on this one )
2. As per the import override –
a. if you could choose which fields should be allowed to be overwritten – or excluded from the overwrite.
b. if it could notify in some way, in a dashboard message or an email to site admin, about changes to overwritten events. which events – what was changed – what should of been changed, but you blocked the change, so you can still do it manually.I think getting those would really help everybody.
Thank youHi Nico
Thank you for the reply.
So if I understood you correctly – selecting
Overwrite Recurring
If checked the importer will update/overwrite the recurring events when they are changed in the source.
Will it overwrite ALL-or-ANY changes I made to the event?
If I changed the venue – it will be changed back by the import?
If I changed the date – it will be changed back by the import?
If I changed the organization – it will be changed back by the import?
-Or –
will the plugin know only to change the bits that are different from the initial import?
So it won’t overwrite my changes, but only touch on aspects which are different, like date?
In this scenario, even if I changed the venue after the initial import, it will stay as is, but the date will change, since it will be changed at the source.
Can you please clarify which way will it go?Thank you
Hi Nico
Do you have any new developments on the issue?
In terms of feeds that don’t have venues by defaut, because event is a webinar. We have to change the location manual after the import.
In terms of the feeds D and E, we have to change the location since they are webinars, and also because unfortunately Zapier is not able to pull Venus from all EventBrite events. So are changing those events venue manually after the import.
What will happen to those manually updates venues after events get reimported?
If you are wondering how Zapier is connect to all of this, let me explain.
We need a way to get reoccurring imports for EventBrite events. The Event Calendar extension allows for good imports of events, but only manual imports one by one. Which is very misfortune and doesn’t work for us.
So we need a way to automate the process.
We connected Zaprier with the needed EventBrite accounts of the calendars we wanted to follow.
Then we created a Zap that takes that data and sends it into Google Calendar we designated for that purpose.
Then we are taking that Google Calendar feed and importing it as ICS reoccurring import into iCal Event Calendar.
Obviously this setup has many flaws. One of which is loss of venues data. And other data as well.
If you guys could automate EventBrite import it would of made everybody lifes so much easier…Thank you
Hi Nico
Thank you for the replay.It is great to know that events info will be updated, nut now I have a different question – on the same matter thought.
Let presume I have a list of posts from a iCal feed that are webinars, so no location assigned, or no location gets picked from iCal. For some odd reason their location – right after the pull – displays as “Array”, which is not quite acceptable. So we have to manually go trough and assign new venues, which we called “Webinar”, to all those events.
Now a re-occurring import happens, and:
1. If they changed a date on their end it will change the date in my event as well, correct?
2. Will their old non existing ( or different than my location ) override the changes I made to the event Venue, Organizer, Category, Tag, etc?Thank you for your time.
Hi Josh
I have a similar question.
Is it behaving the same way with imports from iCal?
If an organizer changes the date on an event I already have in my calendar from a previous import, one my reacquiring import happened, will the date be modified? or will it create a new one?Thank you for your time
Hi Geoff
I noticed an odd things. Then I go into the site with https, I don’t see the js error in
https://www.computecanada.ca/wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar-filterbar/src/resources/js/filter-scripts.min.js?ver=4.0.4
but the filter or the search location features are still not working.Testing conflicts:
1. Switching to 2015 theme, didn’t bring any change, still nothing response.
2. Deactivating all the plugins, seems to fix the issue.
3. Thought the live search is still not working properly. As I type in the location field, it doesn’t offer any google suggestions.
The search location is buggy, As I type nothing shows up.I have to press enter to see the google drop down, sometimes it will show up, and sometimes it wouldn’t.
4. Activating plugins one by one it has a conflict with Huge IT Video Gallery. For some reason they are calling an extra version of jQuery without even making sure one is not loaded in the site. Kinda amateurish on their side.
Once I disabled the script enqueue, the errors disappeared.Can you please look into the #3.
Thank you Geoff
