• Hello,

    Please consider adding the following features to this product:

    1. Import coordinates from Facebook events
    2. Allow import fb event by id from the frontend
    3. Make use of the updated_time field of the events API
    4. Import events from a certain FB category only

    1. Import coordinates from Facebook events
    Currently, only the address is imported which has the downside to force to use the google API for Geo-location which become costly overtime.
    I use TEC and the filtering sucks, so I use another plugin to filter and show events on a map but since the coordinates are not stored, the map appears empty!
    Another problem, since the coordinates are also not stored, I cannot sort by distance…

    2. Allow import fb event by id from the front-end
    The plugin works ok on the background but it still demands some maintenance to import events even with Pro version, if users could upload events by themselves that would be awesome! Just a simple textbox (shortcode) asking for a numeric field would do

    3.Make use of the updated_time field
    Make use of the updated_time field (Last update time ISO 8601 formatted) for comparing if event details were changed when importing. If I recall well, if a local is changed the event is not updated since the dates didn’t changed

    4. Import events from a certain FB category only
    Instead of importing an event and then assigning a category, I would prefer to only import if an event is from a certain category to avoid waste of resources and time.
