Sync Events to another site
I have a main site and want to sync the events on there to another site.
I had a look and it seems that EventON API does something similar but when you click on it takes the user to the other site so it’s not really an import. Is there a way to setup a sync (export/import) so that when an event is created on the main site it gets pushed to the other site?
Also with EventON API, your demo site has the list layout, is it possible to use a tile layout instead?

Hello,
ICS Importer allows you to import events:
https://www.myeventon.com/addons/ics-importer/
It can import events by schedule, so if you can provide it with a .ics file link, it can import events automatically. Try on https://dev.myeventon.com/wp-admin/
Also with EventON API, your demo site has the list layout, is it possible to use a tile layout instead?
Also with the EventOn API, is it possible to set it so that the event details open at a modal on click which is the default behaviour of a tile view?
Thank you for your great suggestion, at the moment it is not supported. However please create a new ticket and select Feature Request as category so others can vote on your idea and get it moved into development faster.

How can I create an ics stream though so I can automatically import using ics-importer?

The plugin seems to import only, not export so I need to create a ics feed somehow

the api was set up so that people didn’t have to use iframes – but in your case if (and thats a big if) you could get the iframe to appear good on desktop and mobile you could have tiles and pop ups on the second site. but iframes are are or can be used a point of attack . being a .gov as in government website you’ll probably want to avoid that potential (it all depends on what is being iframed) you can read up on some issueshere: https://blog.bitsrc.io/4-security-concerns-with-iframes-every-web-developer-should-know-24c73e6a33e4 before attempting it
moving onto ics
the ICS addon does create a ics file see video belowthe importer plugin is

Do I need WP Event Aggregator? Can’t we use ICS import from EventOn seeing as we can get a link to the ICS using: [add_eventon ics=”yes”] ?
See attached screenshot for example.
Also, is it possible to trail ICS importer?

it does not import repeating events – not sure from the screenshot if they are repeating
in myeventon>>>>>ICS import
there is a toggle to import past events- that screenshot you provided shows a bunch of events that would be in the past
if you were happy to manually import events then no you don’t need Aggregator – I was trying to think of ways of automating it
but its a faily quick thing to do to download and upload
