    Hello,

    We’ve been happily using Event Organiser for a few sites and I also purchased the FE submissions extension in the past.

    We are now looking at solutions to maintain a calendar in a multisite install, with syndication of events between sub-sites based on certain parameters. We need to add a few custom fields and at least one custom taxonomy to the defaults available in EO.

    My question is – assuming we can override the iCal feed template either in our theme or own extension – can the iCal importer extension read in the custom fields/taxonomies? If not by default, is there a hook we can use to do it?

    Thanks,
    Heidi

    Hi Heidi,

    Yes it can. There are hooks in place that allow you to parse custom iCal properties (that would otherwise be ignored by the plug-in). The iCal template using by the plug-in templates/ical.php can be copied to your theme and edited to include the desired properties.

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.

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

Here is some inline `code`.
