The setup works as intended, but I would like to augment the installation with some special features.<\/p>\n<p>I have established two event categories in my TEC installation, one for ACCC Events (official events hosted by my organization) and Other Events (events hosted by other organizations but added to our Facebook calendar for networking purposes). By default, IFE imports all events into the Other Event category, and then I manually reassign the category as appropriate. It&#8217;s functional, but time-consuming.<\/p>\n<p>Ideally, I also want all events in the ACCC Events category to be shown as Featured Events. I&#8217;ve found that IFE resets the featured event flag to zero each time it runs. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n<p>I would like a solution that automatically categorizes the imported events based on the Event Organizer field.<\/p>\n<p>As an example, when the Event Organizer is equal to &#8220;Artesian City Car Club,&#8221; the event category should be set to &#8220;ACCC Events&#8221; and the Featured Event flag should be set to TRUE<\/p>\n<p>When the Event Organizer is  &#8220;Artesian City Car Club&#8221;, the event category should be set to &#8220;Other Events&#8221; and the Featured Event flag should be set to FALSE<\/p>\n<p>Will the TEC Pro version natively allow for these features, or will it require some development? Unfortunately, the organization that owns this site does not have an extensive budget, so I&#8217;m looking for a reasonable solution with a minimal amount of cost.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1451546","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>auto setting featured events by organizer -<\/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\/auto-setting-featured-events-by-organizer\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"auto setting featured events by organizer -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"I have a project that I need some help with, and I suspect this will require a custom solution.
