Topic-icon Feature suggestions: Fetch facebook events to Jomsocial Events

We coded a custom script with a cronjob which crawls the web for events for which we have locations listed. I'm a little disappointed how that does work because we don't have all the Flyers of the events and other infos (description).

How about pulling the facebook events from each user and put them into the Jomsocial Event-System? I think that would be a great benefit for all jfbconnect/jomsocial sites.

Event integration is something that's creeping up on our radar. We generally look into things as they become requested more often. With the integration of Page Tab integration in 3.4 and the OAuth2 integration in the upcoming 4.0, we're starting to get more requests for other features, like Events. I don't have any timeline on when we'd be able to get to something like that, but we do value the feedback!

Thanks,

I'd vote for even just a simple module that pulls fB Events in!

It's been a while since this idea come up and I'm extremely interested in this potential feature. Are you planning to implement this in the near future or perhaps some progress has been made towards making it happen?

Still no plans for the immediate future. There are a few other higher priority tasks ahead of this, and in general, integration with a 3rd party extension is going to be very taxing. We do like Rdbean's idea above of pulling in events (for display at least) into Joomla as a great starting point. Again though, it's not something we have a timeline on.

As we take care of issues that are requested more, this one will likely become the most vocal.. as we've got a lot of other great features in JFBConnect already. Our user's feedback does guide a lot of what we do, and we really do appreciate the feedback.

Thanks,
Alex
