Fields names?

I typed the post above in a hurry and missed a large amount of it out!

WP All Import auto detects fields required based on data already input manually. I have created a few of SEP events manually first and then attempted to import the rest. However, WP All Import does not detect all the fields required and the ones it does, they don’t seem to import correctly. It does give me the option to manually add the fields, but you must know the fields names obviously.

Is it possible to see a list of the custom fields used in SEP please?

Hello @lbtdev,

Sorry for the inconvenience.

For importing events, you have to write the custom script as there is a different mechanism for saving the event details. We are saving the events custom meta in the XML format that’s why you are facing the issue while importing the events.

Here are the fields that are saved in postmeta:
– event_address
– event_start_date_time
– add_segment
– event_meta(XML format)

As a glitch, you can also explore the class-simple-event-planner-meta-box-event-options.php placed in the plugins’ following directory.
simple-event-planner/includes/meta-boxes

Excellent, thanks for the reply.

I am now getting a lot further with the import, however, all are importing with a start date of January 1, 1970, but the end date is correct? The format the same: 02-06-2018

Example XML I’m importing

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<simple_event_planner><event_address>Dublin, Ireland</event_address><loc_lat>49.2827291
</loc_lat><loc_long>-123.1207375</loc_long><loc_zoom>11</loc_zoom><loc_map></loc_map><start_date>02-06-2018</start_date><end_date>07-06-2018</end_date><event_time>checked</event_time><start_time></start_time><end_time></end_time><timezone_string>UTC+0</timezone_string><event_organiser></event_organiser><organiser_email>{email[1]}</organiser_email><organiser_contact>{phone[1]}</organiser_contact><add_seg>Array</add_seg><event_date>02-06-2018</event_date><event_org></event_org><event_email>{email[1]}</event_email><org_contact>{phone[1]}</org_contact><event_loc></event_loc><event_segment></event_segment></simple_event_planner>

Also importing: Title and Description, event_address = Dublin, Ireland, event_start_date_time = 02-06-2018

Thats odd. The start_date has imported correctly, however it is sowing as 1st January 1970 on the front end. If I go into the event in the admin and just click save, the correct date is then displayed.

Either way, my data is now in and working fine. Thank you for your help

Hello @lbtdev,

For the event start date, it seems its date format issue that’s why it set the default date.

Good to hear that things are working well at your end.

Thanks & Regards,

I’m trying to use WP All Import as well. When I go to create a new import the fields don’t display, all of the sections are closed. What JQuery file needs to be removed from SEP plugin to get the import to run?

Are there any plans to make SEP WP ALL Import compatible?

Thank you so much,
Jodi

Hello @jlsouthwick,

We didn’t test our plugin with the WP All Import plugin. Also, we are not sure about its compatibility with the SEP.

Maybe in near future, we’ll develop our own custom add-on for SEP event import and export and stick it on our marketplace.

Thanks & Regards,
