[Plugin: Events Manager] Bulk import events

    Hi there,

    I have a load of old events from a different system sitting in the database (3,360 to be exact) and would like to get these into the events manager system if possible. Is there a way to do this programmatically?

    I’m guessing that any answer will revolve around the EM_Event class, and I’ve had a look into the source code, but it’s pretty huge! Especially as EM v5 now uses custom post types, it’s getting a little over my head! Is there a way to submit an array of info to the class somehow and then save it?

    Any suggestions?

    Cheers,

    Phil

    Hi Phil,

    Yes there is, you should create an event, populate it, then save it by using $EM_Event->save(). It should take care of the rest for you.

    The tricky part is locations. You need to either supply a new location with the event, or use a previously existing location. Tricky because you may have more than one event at each location, and making that association is the hard part.
