Hi!

To start with I can say I think the myEventOn plugin look VERY good compared to other event plugins I have seen! Thank you for developing it! However...

I have bought the myEventON plugin (I am using version 2.1.18) as well as the CSV Event Importer (I am using version 0.6) to be able to batch import events. I run WordPress version 3.6.1–sv_SE.

I cannot get the importer addon to work properly:

1. On the page .../wp-admin/admin.php?page=eventon&tab=evcal_csv, I am missing the CSV file guidelines. I am just seeing the sentence "Please read the guidelines below for correct CSV format to import events from a CSV file successfully.", but nothing after that.

2. When uploading the sample.csv file (included in the zipped software package) using the page .../wp-admin/admin.php?page=eventon&tab=evcal_csv&steps=uno, I am missing some data on the resulting page .../wp-admin/admin.php?page=eventon&tab=evcal_csv&steps=dos

2a. The description is missing for the first event (called "Private Grounds Event")
2b. The start time is missing for the first event
2c. The end date is missing for the first event
2d. The end time is missing for the first event
2e. The location is missing for the first event
2f. The organiser is missing for the first event

2g. The description is missing for the second event (called "Wrong event date format" by some reason)
2h. The start date is missing for the second event
2i. The start time is missing for the second event
2j. The end time is missing for the second event
2k. The location is missing for the second event
2l. The organiser is missing for the second event

When I continue with the import and look at these two events afterwards, I realize that any description, event location and organizer are actually imported correctly, but just not shown in the first step. However, the start time and stop time are never imported.

So, I wonder:

A. Do you have a .CSV file format description, including character set information, date formatting information and time formatting information? I have tried a lot but have got stuck.

B. Have you seen the issues above? Do you plan to fix them?

Right now I depend on finding a good event calendar plugin, but I badly need the batch import feature...

All the best,
Markus

Event Description text does not show on the text on step 2. 

There are some issues with event time I have recognized along with the missing images. It is update to myeventon.com please grab version 0.7 for CSV importer and see if you still see the isues.
