Not finding this in the forum, so here goes...

How do we import events from a csv file into an already existing calendar? I see how to create a new calendar, but we want to add to an existing.

Thanks!
So to add to an existing, you need to enable frontend imports (JEvents -> Config -> iCal) and then go to the frontend the admin panel below the calendar click import.

Many thanks

I am having a really hard time finding the CSV examples to use for importing. Can you give me a link? I have a Silver club membership.

Thanks.

Also, is there a link where we can see all the options explained like timezone and recurring event options?

Feeling pretty lost with your examples so far.

There is an example CSV file and an explanation of the file format in this article

https://www.jevents.net/frequently-asked-questions/importing-events-in-csv-format

The repeat pattern syntax is based on the iCal specification and it quite complex I'm afraid - see https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5545#page-85 - perhaps the best way to understand this is to create some repeating events in JEvents in the pattern you want and then to export these and look at the RRULE field in the iCal export that is generated

Timezone : if you don't specify a timezone in your import then JEvents will use the timezone you specify in the JEvents config (on the iCal import tab). You should also specify a timezone on the first tab (which is used to define 'now' - i.e. your display timezone as opposed to the timezone of your imported data)

Hope that helps
