Import .ics event UID to use on frontend

[Ultimate Design]

Hi there,

I am hoping you can explain to me if it is possible to display the UID of an event inmported from .ics file?
The format of an event I am importing is as follows:
<br>
BEGIN:VEVENT<br>
UID:12020017@210.5.50.11<br>
DTSTAMP:20220829T115924Z<br>
DESCRIPTION:\n\nTest test.\n\nOther information:\n<br>
DTSTART;TZID=Pacific/Auckland:20220905T080000<br>
DTEND;TZID=Pacific/Auckland:20220905T163000<br>
LOCATION:Event Centre, Gate 4 123 Event Road, City, Region<br>
SUMMARY:New Event - City<br>
CATEGORIES:event_category<br>
END:VEVENT

I’m trying to display the number before the “@” on
UID:12020017@210.5.50.11, so in this case “12020017”.

Is there any way to do this?

Kind regards,
Jamie

Hi Jane,

Yes you can use the function:

eo_get_event_uid(get_the_ID())

This will return a UID even for events that weren’t imported. If you only want the UID for imported events you can do the following instead:

$uid = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), '_eventorganiser_uid', true );

Sorry for the slow response.
Just want to say a big “Thank you!” to you Stephen.
That worked perfectly.

Much appreciated.
