Thanks for reply. Got it.

In addition I need an individual “Buy Ticket” button in each event, where I can paste individual links for the different events (some tickets to be bought via the venue, others from central ticket providers). I also need to have an individual tag on the button – mainly just two: “buy here” or “sold out”.

To be flexible I would like to use Custom Meta Data (Type: Button) here. Now comes the question: What would be the field name to write onto for this purpose unsing ics import? In other words I search the equivalents to the “evcal_subtitle” in your example for “Button Text”, “Button Link” and eventually also for the link target for my Custom Meta Data.

Thanks for this, quite straight forward.

Thanks for now regarding this topic. Any help on #341320 would bring me forward in a similar project based on csv importing.

Sorry for bothering on that again… Your solution works fine with importing just one field. Got the button text now, but I also need the button link URL. I roughly understand coding, but my PHP knowledge regarding syntax is frankly spoken not existent… How to hook a second or third variable (open link in new window y/n) into this?

Just copying and exchanging the parameters throughs a critical error message on the site.

This does the job, thank you so much!

Quite unfortunate… another step forward, another wall in front of me. Most probably this is the last one. I am using the ics importer together with the maps addon.

Some GEO data in the ics is 0.000, 0.000, but others are there. The map is working, if I put in the latitude and longitude from the ics file manually into the location.

How to import the GEO field from ics into the event (or its location) automatically?

I get fed from this ics: https://kulturbeutel.u9p.de/lalelu.ics

Additional observation:

In the single slide down area the map is working without the GEO data just based on the address. Please refer to this page https://www.lalelu.de/tour-2024/ , where I have put a calender and the map with calender.

The upper EventOn List shows the working small Maps in each event.

I will focus on the second part of the answer. This seems the way forward. So you say Lat/Long will be generated automatically when the location address’ has the right syntax. Currently we have the venue name within in the ics. So I understand this may prevent recognizing the address. If I manually remocve the venue name I end up with an address like e.g. “Wulfsdorfer Weg 71, 22926 Ahrensburg” in the field “Location address”. This is street, house no, ZIP code, City. I have added “, Germany” and also “, Deutschland” to this. None of them ist generating the Lat/Long values by clicking “Generate Location Coordinates”. So how to set the address right?

I wanted to follow the link to itouchmap.com, but this page seems dead (not answering the request). May that be a reason for not getting the coordinates?

Thanks for looking into.

Please elaborate WHAT is working for you, maybe I misunderstood:

a) Automatic import of the GEO values from the given .ics or

b) Creating the LAT/LONG from the address fron the ics

c) both

None of them is working for me. Just entering the coordinates manually gives values in the field.

In the backend you are referreing to Itouchmap.com in order to create the values manually. Is this also the ressource you use to create this automatically? I cannot access this page with any computer, system (WIN, MACOS) or browser (FF, Opera, Safari, Edge, Chrome).  https://isitdownorjust.me tells me that it’s down.

I am not aware of any restriction contacting other websites by default. Please let me know the website, which needs to be contacted to make this work. Then I can check with the provider for any restriction.

Can this ressource be blocked generally in Germany? Any other idea?

What I did further: Adding the php error log. Clear the browser cache. Browsing to the location page in the backend. Pressing the button to generate the LAT/LONG. No entry appears.

There is no error log created. It seems there is no error to log.

The request:

action: “eventon_get_latlng”

address: “Feauxweg+9,+59821+Arnsberg,+Germany”

gives the answer:

status: “good”

lat: null

lng: null

Please let me know the next step for investigation.

Are the screenshots coming from the lalelu.de backend or did you check the ics file on your system?

You’ve got access data to the original backend. I wonder, how this could work for you in the original backend.

Did that. ics import of GEO values as well as Long/Lat creation are still dead. Please refer to attached video. Did I do anything wrong?

Feel like that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgS4I-47mJc

It seems the video didn’t make it through. Basically it shows clicking on the button to get coordinates and nothing apprearing in the corresponding fields. Tried different syntax of the address (with location name or without, with country or not).

Customer is geeting impatient…

We have tried this on another website with another provider. Same result. We get the reply “good; null, null” for all long/lat requests.

I don’t care about your server. You are selling this to work elsewhere. This is not working with usual hosting on all-inkl.com and strato.de.

Again: Where do you get the long/lat values from? You never commented this. In case this comes from itouchmap.com: The site is dead from our end! Endless loading time, no result. Tried to browse their website with different devices and browsers. Same result all time.

Two customers are waiting for this now. This is senseless without automatic creation of the long/lat values or the possibility to read them from ics. I request you to come up with a working addon until April, 1st.

I would be very disappointed if this is not running on your test site. Yes it does work for me there.

I understand your point of view, but please understand mine. There are two completely different hosting companies, where I get exactly the same response: “good, null, null”. This is too much incident that two independent hosters show the same behavior. Guess what is my conclusion? This must be on your side. Or we have some general blocking for Germany or whatsoever. But then you and me we have to know that this is not a valid addon for some boundaries.

I was aksing you several times which is the source you are using. I can check explicitely with both hosters for any blocking. I am willing to go into this and find the possible restriction. But I need a starting point!

Guys! I need a starting point to search for restriction from the hoster. Which external ressources are used? Is there a required PHP version? Any other starting settings to be checked?

No progress at all. Running with 4.6.2, Maps Addon 1.5.1, WP6.5.2, PHP8.1.

As mentioned I am not deep in PHP programming. The console refers to …wp-admin/admin-ajax.php. The action “eventon_get_latlng” is executed with the address and gives back “good, null, null”. Looking into the admin-ajax.php file there is no reference to an action like “eventon_get_latlng”. Can this be a hint?

Again: If you state this should be on my side get me a starting point. Otherwise I have to assume you are not delivering for two months now.

Again II: You refer to https://itouchmap.com/?r=latlong to create the values manually. This site is down since I try to reach it in this project. Please clarify

Next time when you deploy an update and ask me to try: Please verify functionality from your side first. You have the login data…

You have ignored a deadline totally, did not even comment it. So far so good. I request you to deliver a working addon until May, 1st. Otherwise I want my money back for two purchased licenses of this disfuntional piece of code.

Sorry for late reply. But we firstly had to get access permission to the customer’s google account.

As you state in the other ticket, “this may solve”…. Well, it solves a bit. The related article describes to create two API keys. One for the browser (restricted by the domain), one for the server (restricted by the IP address). I did this. How this ended up?

Entering the key with IP restriction really allows to gather the long/lat values. Great improvement!

Having this key in the settings the map shortly flashes up, a tenth of a second later I get the error message “Something went wrong” in the map area. Exchanging the key with the former one (configured as restricted for the domain) the map flashes in the same way, but directly disappears completely. A bit like in the other example, just a bit faster.

BTW, they haven’t solved either so far… But I will contact those guys as they literally live just next door.

The article cannot be the final solution to the issue, if you consider your tool . EventOn just offers to place ONE API key. The restriction setting cannot be set both types on one API key. The selection is done by a radio button, so one or the other restriction.

What I desperately need as a user is a detailed guide for the google API setting to make your addon work. Probably my neighbours would apprechiate this, too.

How are your settings in your google account?

Again: How are the settings I have to apply in the google account to make your product work?

You are relying on a 3rd party product. So just let me know how this has to be configured!

I am impressed! Love it…

Do not need to switch the google API anytime when importing new locations. This is really a big improvement!
