How do I import Event color from Google Calendars?

I am using the “ICS Importer” add-on and want to make sure that when the events are import from our Google Calendar, that the event colors are added to the events in EventOn for display in WordPress. How do I make sure that happens?

      Here is what an event looks like in our Google Calendar. I would like that blue color for the event to be pulled into EventOn when importing, so that I don’t have to set it manually in EventOn. That’s just not an option with so many events. Is this set up correctly or should it be done another way?

      Hello,

      Please take a look at

      https://docs.myeventon.com/documentations/add-support-additional-ics-fields/

      Color is in evColor variable.

      So if I add the following code as is into a plugin like “Snippets” instead of right into the functions.php file (since I have read that I might loose the functionality when the theme is updated if adding it directly to the functions.php file) this will then import the Event Color and add it to my events for display in the EventOn Calendar like I have here (Middle of page):

      Unfortunately, we unable to help with customizations, since it’s against CodeCanyon’s and ours support policies.

      Can you at least tell me if that is how I would add the code to the functions.php file for it to be correct?

      You mention that: Color is in evColor variable.

      Do I use that variable to call it or do I use: evcal_event_color or evcal_event_color_n ?

      I’m not a php programmer so any help would be great.

      Please try replacing evcal_subtitle with evColor in the code from the guide.

      SUBTITLE needs to be replaced with the color variable name from Google’s calendar. Try finding here:

      We unable to help with customizations of any kind, I am afraid. It’s against CodeCanyon’s Support Policy. Sorry for the inconvenience.

      I figured you couldn’t really help. Just wondering why support is here. I have another ticket that’s been open for over 3 weeks with no response – had to figure it out myself. At least you got back to me.

      I have another ticket that’s been open for over 3 weeks with no response

      Which ticket are you referring to?

    • Brad Grier Aug 11,2022 AT 5:15AM - Posted 2 years ago - #285898

      This one: Ticket #282677

      It’s alright – I finally figured it out on my own.

      Hi Brad,

      Glad to hear that you figured out the issue. If you don’t mind sharing, what did you do to fix the issue? Might help some customers who encounter the same issue.

    • Brad Grier Aug 11,2022 AT 12:25PM - Posted 2 years ago - #285946

      I really need to get this figured out – can you point me in the direction of where I can get that help. Paid or not.

      I really need to find how to import the color of the google event. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
