    Hi Stephen,

    Can the iCal extension import an events feed from a public Facebook page?

    Does the plugin have instructions for it in the readme files etc.

    best wishes
    Charlotte

    Hi Charlotte,

    If a facebook page has a public iCal url then yes – but unfortunately I couldn’t determine whether it indeed does (all posts I’ve seen regarding this are very dated, and it appears even when Facebook does expose an iCal url it makes it intentionally hard to find).

    In short, I don’t know. Sorry!

    I found an alternative events plugin which I just tested and it does the job (EME). I will have to use that this time. Shame, I like working with your code.

    Hi,

    I can’t understand why it doesn’t work. While I got it to work with my personal Facebook Events, it doesn’t work with the Events of another person. Gmail and Outlook seem to read the link perfectly.

    Hi Paul,

    Can you provide the link of the iCal feed? And do you see an error message relating to importing the feed?

Your information:




To create code blocks or other preformatted text, indent by four spaces:

    This will be displayed in a monospaced font. The first four 
    spaces will be stripped off, but all other whitespace
    will be preserved.
    
    Markdown is turned off in code blocks:

To create not a block, but an inline code span, use backticks: 

Here is some inline `code`.
