So if I have people adding events through the site front-end and I do an import from say Facebook...

I know you can set it to check/block overlapping events per location, but WHAT EXACTLY DOES THAT DO? Is there some type of error or message?

Is there a way to set priority based on where the event was added?

I would want events added through the site to take priority over imports.

Thanks

Hello Adina,

Nope it's the same method. You are importing so we cannot check as we would have to stop in the middle of the import routine and then carry on which becomes very complicated.

Many thanks

Hello Adina,

What you could do is have the event priority setting set to 1 by default in the event edit template so they take a higher priority then imports.

What the overlap checking does, is on save checked for overlapping events and if some are found it shows the user in the event details and allows them to click to continue on through to save or edit their event.

Many thanks
Tony

So what would happen in regards to an import run on a nightly chron and duplicates were found between the front-end edit/add and those in the import?

Thanks

They would just be imported since there is no user import we cannot do anything about it, the cron takes priority.

Many thanks

OK, so next question would be...

What happens if the import it triggered manually from the calendar manager?

Would it then check for overlapping events?

Thanks!
