Post Mapping
-
In Jeremy’s post about extra data and adding extra fields, you referenced post mapping.
I am interested in mapping the API data into The Events Calendar. (https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/the-events-calendar)
Is there a way to do this?

Hi @susgeek
This isn’t possible “out of the box” but you could use this plugin as a starting point to map CCB API data into an existing post type that another plugin provides (like The Events Calendar).
When I referenced “post mapping” I was referring to mapping a “CCB Entity’s” data (https://github.com/jaredcobb/ccb-core/wiki/CCB-Entities) to a custom post type that you can create from scratch (https://github.com/jaredcobb/ccb-core/wiki/Custom-Post-Types)
In your example it would require more coding. However this plugin could be helpful from the standpoint that once you install it, you have access to the API integration class called
CCB_Core_APIseen here: https://github.com/jaredcobb/ccb-core/blob/master/includes/class-ccb-core-api.phpThe main goal of this plugin is to handle the actual API integration and is targeted towards developers who want a “jumping off point” for their own theme & plugin development, so unfortunately it cannot directly integrate with other plugins like The Events Calendar automatically.
