I’ve seen that there is an event importer from facebook into mobilizon, but it seem stopped since 3 years. (Contributing to Mobilizon - Mobilizon)
The idea would be great, do you know if the project is still on, or if there is an other one ?
(this post : Mobilizon questions, importing/exporting events, etc has not been answered… is it the right place to post questions here ??)
I partialy replied on your other post Feature request : Be able to create a new event by importing it from a connected calendar (or ics file) - #3 par Lahax
I’m part of the maintenance team since 2024 when Kaihuri took over from Framasoft.
If I’m correct, Framasoft planned to create some official connexion between a facebook group and a Mobilizon group, which would need to be approved by Facebook. This was not pushed much, and unfortunately we won’t have time and money to invest on that this year. But if somebody would feel like working on that, they would have our full support.
On another end, Mobilizon Import tool https://import.mobilizon.fr/ is a live thing, you can feed it with a URL or ICS feed and it extracts whatever data he finds. I’m nearly sure that it used to work for facebook, but I just tried now and it doesn’t. I guess that Facebook has changed the way they display their data or something 
Maybe we can make it work again soon.
Ok, thanks.
The importer is still not working fine, but progress seems ongoing… (see Feature request : Be able to create a new event by importing it from a connected calendar (or ics file) )
we might be able to help with some friends with our little knowledge, who knows… How can we check if it is in our possibilities ?
Would you mind trying this one?
It’s using a more recent version.
Regarding contributions, a good starting point is here: Contributing to Mobilizon - Mobilizon
It’s refering to Mobilizon and not the import tool (Kaihuri / mobilizon-event-importer · GitLab) but you can transpose most of it.
Great, this new keskonfai importer works fine. At least for the first event I tried.
I will check again in the next days, but we are clearly moving forward. I’ll confirm later that it is all fine for us.
And thanks for the contribution links, we’ll have a look at what we can do.
It looks good, and we managed to import several events from facebook.
Do you know if an app like for instance a firefox extension is planed to do this in one click while surfing on facebook ?
Also I’m wondering if this importer should also work using mobilizon events themselves (which would be useful since re-post mobilizon event is not functionning yet). I noticed it partially works, but the location and the picture are not copied. (I don’t know it this deserves a new post on the forum ?)
Glad to hear that you’re using the import tool successfully for Facebook events!
Turning the event importer into an app would be nice, I have no clue how complex it is.
I don’t get your other point, regarding “re-post”.
This re-post function would allow to take an event seen on any account in mobilizon, and post it again as part of my own group. (so i can select precisely which events are shown in my group).
This function would be really useful..
And also, an other useful function would be :
display in a mobilizon group page a shortcut button, allowing very quickly to import an event from facebook. (account group being already selected and logged-in)
I guess that should be quite simple for the developers.
