Hi there,<\/p>\n
I’m working for a client who wants to import events from an iCal feed. The only problem is, the feed provider doesn’t keep the UID unique– it changes periodically, about once a day. So, duplicate events are getting imported when we run a scheduled (cron) import. <\/p>\n
At first, I thoughtI could get around this by clearing out all events data before the cron job started. I hooked in to Next, I went looking in \/Aggregator\/Record\/Abstract.php to see if I could prevent the duplicate event from being imported instead. My thought was to compare the post title, start date and end date to existing records in the database. I saw the code on lines 1051-1055:<\/p>\n but the problem here is that I can’t filter that data before we get to this line (at least, it doesn’t look like I can).<\/p>\n Could you add a filter that will let me change event data AND skip the import of the specific event, if I need to? That’s the only way I can see to do it, without hacking the plugin myself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1263339","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\ntribe_aggregator_cron_run<\/code>, but it seems like that hook is called every time a cron batch runs. So when the cron kicked off, it deleted all the events; and then the cron job imported 5 events; and then the hook got called again and deleted the 5 events that were just imported, then 5 more events were imported, and so on.<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\tif ( ! empty( $event['ID'] ) && 'retain' === $update_authority_setting ) {
\n\t\t\t\t\/\/ Log this Event was Skipped
\n\t\t\t\t$activity->add( 'event', 'skipped', $event['ID'] );
\n\t\t\t\tcontinue;
\n\t\t\t}
