What it does
Adding events one at a time gets slow once you have more than a handful, and it is a common source of typos. This add-on reads a CSV file and creates EventON events from its rows, carrying over details such as dates, locations, organizers and custom fields. It suits anyone moving events from another platform, or keeping a large event list current from a spreadsheet they already maintain.
The import runs over AJAX in the background and shows status updates as it goes, which helps when a file holds hundreds of events. Including event IDs in the CSV updates existing events instead of creating duplicates. Repeating events and extended time types can be described in the file too. For developers, WordPress actions and filters make it possible to add support for more import fields and adapt the process to a specific workflow.
Best for
- Event organizers managing large calendars in EventON
- Sites migrating events from another calendar platform
- Developers building custom event import workflows
Features
Bulk import from CSV
Upload a single CSV file to add hundreds of events to your EventON calendar at once, cutting out repetitive manual entry.
Background AJAX processing
Events are processed in the background with AJAX, and real-time status updates show how the import is progressing while it runs.
Update existing events
Include event IDs in your CSV to update events already on the calendar, which keeps details accurate and prevents duplicate entries.
Repeating event support
Import recurring schedules using repeat event variables, so events that happen on a regular pattern come in with their repeat settings intact.
Extended time types
Set extended time types in the CSV with values such as dl, ml or yl to handle events that span longer periods.
Custom field columns
Specially formatted CSV columns map to EventON custom fields, letting you bring in event data beyond the standard details.
Developer actions and filters
Pluggable WordPress actions and filters let developers add support for extra import fields and adjust how the import process behaves.
