When I import an iCal url, I noticed that the import creates new categories, if the category in the feed doesn't exist. Now I can set the category to be overridden, but that counts for all events imported. Is there a way to override the category only if the category in the import doesn't match an existing category?

Is there a way to set a default location, like the default category?

How do I import the url set in de feed? I have a field of type url, which I named website. I would like the url of the iCal to be imported into this field.
Apologies for the slow response

The 'fall back' category code appears to have been creating new categories rather than using the specified category for a LONG time. I'll update the code for the next release to add a new option when importing calendars to make this work as intended.

I'll also add the option of a default location to the ToDo list.

Are you able to test this version of JEvents?

when you edit the calendar there is now a new option to choose to create new categories or not.

Thank you. Does this mean if the feed has a category that doesn't exist in my site, the default category set will be used in all cases or just in the case the category doesn't exist, if I toggle the setting Create category to no?

If you day NOT to create a new category it will use the default/fallback category for ONLY for events where a matching doesn't already exist
