Hi Jennifer,
Thanks so much for the advice and sorry for taking so long to reply. I’ll give this a shot and let you know if I have any more problems.

I should add that, you should at least remove from your promotional material for Aggregator any suggestion that it imports events from Facebook. It no longer does so effectively. At least in this way nobody else will spend $89 on it believing they are getting functionality that it does not, in fact, provide.

Hi Victor,
This is very frustrating to hear. Having just admitted that Facebook’s new policies have effectively broken your bulk importing add-on, rendering it useless to anyone using a location search, I would have hoped that you would recognize the need to expedite this fix, as it is now a much bigger issue than it was when the complaints were limited to thinks like private meetups (the ethics of adding a location being somewhat questionable in those cases). How many people are going to have to vote for this before it becomes a priority?

Hi Jennifer,
I’ll test for javascript errors next time I’m doing some night time work (can’t break the site during the day).

The reason you can’t see the problem right now is because I’ve disabled the month-view and I’m using the vertical search bar, which works fine. The horizontal search bar is the glitchy one. The vertical is fine, but I can’t use the vertical with the month view because it breaks the calendar display.

I’ll let you know what I find out when I check the javascript situation.

Hi Victor,
Will Events Calendar be adding this functionality to its next update? It’s frustrating to have to pay my coder to customize your software when I’m already paying a lot for this software. Being able to bulk assign fields to imports would seem like a necessary feature in order for it to work properly with the Filter Bar add-on with or without Facebook’s latest privacy changes.

Further to this, part of the problem seems to be that, when Aggregator is importing events from a the Facebook page of an event organizer, where the organize is ALSO the venue, it imports the venue into the organizer field and not into the venue field.

However, even where the venue is clearly specified in Facebook, Aggregator appears to be failing to import this in the majority of cases. I’m looking at imports right now where one event was imported from an organizer page with the event field properly imported….and another event from the same Facebook page at the SAME venue failed to transfer the venue info properly.

Thanks, Juan! I’ll give that a try!
