Legacy Events Importer

The Legacy Stanford Event Importer takes data from the Stanford Event Calendar feed, and then creates and populates event nodes on your site with the event information.  The event information can come from a category (e.g. Arts, Engineering, Humanities, etc), an organization (e.g. Stanford Web Services, University IT, etc.), as well as “Featured” and “Today” events on the Stanford Event Calendar. Events that you import from the Stanford Event Calendar will be included with your internally-created event listings at the URL path [your site url]/events. Events will be imported and updated daily, or you can use the Save & Import button (found within the Events Importer editor) to execute an update immediately.
