I need to be able to create events from a different system (actually google forms). Is there a way I can automate this process? For example via a REST call to JEvents?
We don't have a REST API but we do allow importing events from iCal or CSV file. If you are good at PHP then you may be able to take the reformatted output of the form as CSV OR adapt the CSV import code to your needs but its not a built in feature
CSV import is good enough for the integration . Where can I read more details about the file format and method signature? What is the way to access this method? Is it via HTTP?
We decided to use CSV imports since we are adding a massive amount of data. Few questions though (couldnt' find them on the referred page):
1. Where to actually execute an import?
2. Can I define a publication status?
3. How to deal with multiple choice values? Should we put the numeric values or titles visible on the front-end?
1. Via the JEvents -> Calendars -> New from URL and define the .csv url
2. How do you mean? So published or unpublished?
3. Is this the custom fields? It would tend to be the values.
