Keep Imported Events?

    I have imported events from another town website that does not have SSL. This causes the secure site to show as not secure.

    I would like to keep the imported events on the secure site, and then pull them into the unsecured site. Essentially flipping the feed. Is this possible? Maybe via database tables?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi @ncdesignz,

    Calendar will not automatically delete imported events, so I do not see why you should not keep imported events. These events probably have images in content that are still HTTP, so just manually change the URL – this is the reason why your secure site is displayed as not secure.

    NOT RESOLVED.

    Actually, when you disconnect the feed, it deletes all of the events.

    And as to changing the url of the image…

    First, the URL on the other site is not secure, so I can’t change it to https.

    Second, whenever the feed refreshes, it removes any changes done on the site that is pulling in the feed.

    Hi @ncdesignz,

    Our calendar recognizes events that are imported as being “owned” by someone else. Therefore, when the calendar updates the feed again, it’s always going to overwrite the existing events. This ensures you are importing any updates, edited events or new events that have been added by the “owner.”

    As a workaround (if you want your own images that you added to stay, etc.) you can add a feed, delete the feed, and select “Keep Events” when prompted. Now the calendar will recognize these events as being “owned” by you.

    Unfortunately, this means that you will no longer receive updated events since you are no longer subscribed to the feed.

    Best regards,
    Ben

    STILL NOT RESOLVED.

    Okay, I imported all events from the http site. Then I disconnected the feed. The events stayed. I moved all of the images to the secure https site. So, I’m no longer getting security warnings on the calendar/events pages.

    HOWEVER, now I cannot publish ANY new events on the secure site. It says they published, but they do not.

    So…apparently the only way to achieve a successful transfer between two related sites is to import the events via database tables?

    I am trying to allow my clients to only have to publish one calendar that can be read from both sites.
