Hi,
After a year or so of not having any social importer facility working I decided to take a look at this for GDV2 on my staging site.
So, I’ve switched on the “Enable Direct URL Parse” option for Facebook, and tested importing an event and have the following observations:-
– Event description empty
– Link Place not working – I can choose a place, but it doesn’t retain it & I can’t see an option to fill in business details either.
– Event start date not populating (event end date is)
– no event times
– recurring event info not added
– no phone/email/website info (pretty sure V1 did these)
– image quality seems poorer compared to manually adding the image.
Are these bugs or is this expected behaviour from “Enable Direct URL Parse”? Presumably the API issues are nowhere nearer to being resolved so the direct parsing needs to be better than this.
I can send example links & logins if you need.
cheers.
