If a programmer I am working with is able to include an additional field for the venue name when he constructs the ical feed, will the Event Aggregator be able to bring in the Venue name? If so, what guidance do I need to give to the programmer on how to name that fee in the ical feed? <\/p>\n
The majority of events in the feed will be at venues we already have on file. I am therefore hoping that if the venue name is present in the ical feed, and if the import can recognise it and add it to the event when it is imported, that a link will then be made between the event and the venue record. We will simply add any that are not already on file. <\/p>\n
Alternatively, we will ask the programmer to include the venue name at the start of the standard ICS location field, but this will involve then having to amend every imported event to change the venue (if venue already on file) OR to move the address part of the incorrectly created venue down to the address fields.<\/p>\n
Sadly they cannot use WordPress and Events Calendar at the source website – if they could have done so then of course we would be able to use the wonderful “Complete” new feed you are planning to offer.<\/p>\n
It does seem crazy to me that event name is not a standard field in ICAL – ie separate from the location but there we go!!! Expect there is a good reason!<\/p>\n
Your help on the first paragraph above, plus any more general words of wisdom, would be much appreciated! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1263445","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\n
