I would like to follow up on this post<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The goal is to be able to import events from Facebook using the Facebook import, and then assign them to a Community Events user. This would allow Community Events users to modify events imported from their Facebook page. <\/p>\n

Currently, that is not possible because the Facebook importer has to be run by an Admin, and all imported events are owned by that Admin.<\/p>\n

As a test, ran an import as an Admin, then edited the event to change the Author from Admin to a Community Events user. I then logged on as the Community Event user. The event appeared in the list of “My Events” for the Community Event user. The Community Events user was able to edit the event as though it had been submitted in the normal way, through the front end.<\/p>\n

I think adding this functionality into the import would be very useful. I realise that it would need some coding, but I think that coding would be very simple. All that would be needed would be to add the Community User name next to the Facebook page on the import screen. Like this:<\/p>\n

Facebookpage1 CommunityUserX
\nFacebookpage2 CommunityUserY
\nFacebookpage3 CommunityUserZ <\/p>\n

The code would simply need to change the author of the event from Admin to the relevant user when the import runs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1016921","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nImport Facebook events for Community Users -<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/import-facebook-events-for-community-users\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Import Facebook events for Community Users -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"I would like to follow up on this post.
