Calendar Sync Duplicates Issue

    Hi,

    I am setting up a new site to display a calendar showing bookings from AirBNB, TripAdvisor and Booking.com and then export the calendar back.

    I have set up a test page to update the calendars for access via cron and included the shortcodes for the ical links for the AirBnB, TA and booking.com.

    This works for AirBnB and booking.com – the bookings are imported the first time the page is loaded and not on subsequent refreshes. However, with TripAdvisor every time I refresh the page it will re-import the TA entries although they are already in the database.

    I believe the re-export is a feature which requires the pro license which is fine but I am not able to buy until the function above is confirmed,

    Many thanks

    Hello.
    Such issue possible because TripAdvisor each time change UID (ID of events, which usually have to be the same). Booking Calendar is checking if some event was imported or u by such specific UID fields in the events.

    In your case, in your import shortcode, you can use additional parameter:
    import_conditions=’if_dates_free’
    So events will be imported only if all dates in the Booking Calendar for such event are available.
    Example:
    [booking-manager-import url='https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/CALENDAR_ID/public/basic.ics' resource_id=1419 import_conditions='if_dates_free' from='today' until='any']
