Hello,<\/p>\n
I’m looking at adding the Facebook Importer but have a few questions. I’ve poked around your website for the answers but either could not find them or I was not clear about the answers. <\/p>\n
1. Can the events that come over from FB be set to pending? From a screen shot that shows settings it appears I can. <\/p>\n
2. Wish to verify that categories can’t be preset by FB site\/events. I.E. Carolyn Myss ( https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Caroline-Myss-201192805715\/events ) would always have a category of medical intuitive at my site. I saw a posting that makes me think this can’t be done automatically, so I would need to do this after the events are imported in. This is ok as long as the events can be moved to “Pending”. <\/p>\n
3. Assuming but want to verify that it will not import in events that are already added manually. If I add event ABC manually, does the plugin see that an event by this person on these dates already exists if I have it set to automatically import?<\/p>\n
4. Please verify: Imported events are manually or automatically created as entries in The Events Calendar. I think this means that automatically means it will go into my Pending section and manually means I have to go in and click the ones I want. Guessing this from the screen shots showing ‘Off the Grid”<\/p>\n
5. For my venues I only list the city\/state… not the address. I don’t care if it brings this over since I have removed the Learn more that takes a user to the next page that shows that info, but I want to make sure this is not create an issue.<\/p>\n
6. What info does it pick up for the description? All the info that the event organizer has added? Those can be really long from the events I’m adding so I only take what I think is most important. Or does it just grab the info up to the point that it says see more…? <\/p>\n
7. Do you know of a site that is actively using this add on that I can check out?<\/p>\n
Big picture on my process so you can see if there is other info I should be aware of:
\n1. I find events and add data to Google spreadsheet. I have to use Google docs because Excel captures symbols that causes import issues.
\n2. Download a CSV file for Events, Organizers and Venues
\n3. Import Organizers (Name of teacher or speaker) and Venues (city\/state) to be published
\n4. Import Events (which includes categories and descriptions) as Pending so I can do a few tweaks and then I publish them. <\/p>\n
Kind regards,<\/p>\n
