Ok, I managed to import locations and relevant meta data with wp_insert_post() and add_post_meta() functions.
I can see locations fine in the front end, however, related location events are not shown because location was not transferred to wp_em_locations table and does not have a location_id assigned.
There must be a hook or action that I could perform to get the data into wp_em_locations table and get a location_id?
Thanks in advance
you can hook into em_location_save filter;
you can see this filter at classes/em-location.php
similar with http://wp-events-plugin.com/tutorials/saving-custom-event-information/

Thanks, agelonwi.
If I understand correctly hooking into em_location_save filter like shown in the example would execute a custom function whenever location is saved.
What I want to do is to do whatever Events Manager would normally do (add wp_em_location row, etc.) whenever I insert a location. Is it necessary for me to rewrite this code in the form of a custom function myself, or is there a better way to trigger this action?
Many thanks for your help and pardon my lack of understanding.
you can also do it similar with events-manager/em-install.php at around line 178
two ways… 1 (an easy way) is to use the section of code angelonwl pointed you to
otherwise, you need to create an EM_Location object, populate it, then run $EM_Location->save();
Something like:
$EM_Location = new EM_Location();
$EM_Location->location_name = '123 Test Location;
$EM_Location->location_address = '123 Test Address';
//etc.
$EM_Location->save();
see the class to view the properties you can set

Hi Marcus
Thanks! I achieved it by using the following:
$EM_Location = new EM_Location($post_id, 'post_id');
$EM_Location->save();
return $EM_Location->location_id;
Even though it works, I get this error message every time I run the function:
Strict Standards: call_user_func_array() expects parameter 1 to be a valid callback, non-static method EM_Event_Post_Admin::save_post() should not be called statically in /homepages/45/d391709137/htdocs/eventhread.com/wordpress/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 406
Any tips?
Thanks so much for your help!
how about using $EM_Location = new EM_Location(); instead ? then using @marcus sample snippet above?
for a new event you shouldn’t supply any post ids or it’ll update that post id instead
it’s just a warning, no adverse effects, will look into fixing that next update
Is it possible to do this but to leave the posts as pending?
