This is affecting several of my sites as well and the first 2 options did not work to solve the problem. Is there anything in the query code I can modify until a patch is supplied?

Hey Rick, Sorry I missed notifications on your response. I was also testing the auto import (faster gratification with the manual import the specific event ids). The way the plugin works for automatic importing is just sets up a wp cron schedule to fire off the same process as the manual import. So in the end whether it\’s auto or manual the import will fail if there are errors. One thing I am seeing is that the Facebook API is now not responding to featured image requests with \”fields not found\” error even though their documentation gives particular examples (which those don\’t work now either). They have been notorious for changing or having inaccurate docs over time, so possibly there is a change coming through but I have not seen any mention of it in dev blogs etc so am still researching the reason it is all changing again.

Hey Rick,
I finally had a break through on this last night. Looks like FB graph api is not recognizing the field “picture” for events for random events. I am not sure if this is a change coming in their API or just a bug on their end. I was able to randomly replicate the error you’re seeing by manually debugging the event import request. This leads me to believe it’s a change in how their API might be handling these.

Please make sure you are using the latest Facebook Importer plugin version because it should fail gracefully during the event import (sans image import for that specific event).

Cheers,
Tim

Hi Daniella, first there was a bug in our code for the meta title overrides for categories, I have created the override for the categories so once the fix comes out but there is also a pre 3.0.3 release fix (see the comments) that will do what you are looking for as well: https://gist.github.com/codearachnid/6118533

In order to change the meta group label you need to specify meta_group for the tribe_set_meta_label tag – use something like this:

tribe_set_meta_label( ‘tribe_event_group_custom_meta’, ‘New Custom Meta Label’, ‘meta_group’ );

Rick, I need to dig into your event example more explicitly because I am seeing it is blocked but there is no code on our end that is preventing the import, rather on investigating the request it looks at first pass that Facebook is not providing any event information for that particular ID. I am working with Facebook dev tools to determine the cause.

Hey Jonathan,
I apologize I missed your follow up post. It should be pretty easy to update your group labels using similar logic as updating labels for meta items. Just make sure you set the right ID for the meta group item and that you specify that you’re looking for a meta_group item vs default meta. So it’d be like this: `tribe_set_meta_label( ‘tribe_event_venue’, ‘Your custom label’, ‘meta_group’ );` So if you drop that little bit alongside the other label definitions then it should change it all at the same time.

Cheers,
Tim

Thank you for the update, just wanted to let you know we’re working on replicating this and will have an appropriate fix in place soon.

Hey Greg,
Just wanted to let you know that we are looking into the additional queries for month view. Originally it was a big concern for soaking memory with the queries for this view and it looks like there are a few stragglers and ways to optimize additionally. I have a meeting with our other devs to approach this in a unified manner and make sure we have all dependencies being accounted for in any adjustments we make.

Cheers,
Tim

snorton, that is an interesting idea. My concern is that A) it doesn’t actually remove the link – just changes the event action thus if someone has JavaScript disabled or worse a search engine crawls the page it will still have a functional link. My proposed gist would remove the link functionality that we in the PRO plugin thus keeping the venue name without the link.

[Timothy Wood]

Hey Jonathan,
If I understand you correctly, you are just trying to remove the links TO the venue pages not necessarily change how a venue page works? The reason I ask is because this gist (add the code to your functions.php) https://gist.github.com/codearachnid/6090349 will remove the autolinking of the venue name to the venue page when the PRO plugin is enabled. However, it will not disable the venue’s page so if somehow magically someone has a direct link to it they will still see the page. In order for that type of action to occur we would need to tap into detecting when the post type is loaded and preventing front end permalinks. Which is doable just would require more integration on your part.

Cheers,
Tim

dtcaldwell , This is great, any chance you could just provide the sql as a file? seems that our forum is mangling some of the characters when I’m testing this and I want to make sure I get as close to the original source as possible (thus no manual fixing of characters)

[Timothy Wood]

Hey dtcaldwell,
Thank you for such a thorough explanation. I am wondering in the sake of speed if you could just send me all the post meta (sql dump by post_id) for an event you’re seeing instances disappearing on. I will jump on replicating this asap.

Cheers,
Tim

Hey Miguel, we’ve had that request a few times in the past but never needed to really worry about it since the Facebook ID is stored as a meta for the event and anyone could build the link with just that piece of info. With the new Meta Factory for events and working on documentation it made sense to cook up a little function and also show how to integrate it into the meta display. So without further ado I present a new template tag ‘tribe_event_get_facebook_link’ as well as how to integrate it into your event meta: https://gist.github.com/codearachnid/6067127

scandido & freshmint, I have made a few changes in our plugin coming out for next release, but I’m not sure if they will resolve your specific issues. If you could email pro [at] tri.be specific details about your hosting setup, active plugins & theme that would be helpful to trouble shoot this further.

[Timothy Wood]

Thank you for updating with some IDs, I will test these and get back to you.
