Is it possible to populate the Events Calendar using RSS feeds from other websites? I can't seem to find any information on whether or not this can be done. If you have done it, any tips would be very much appreciated.

Anyone? I'd really like to find an easier way to add events to the event module without having to manually type everything in and submit it. Am I correct in thinking that using RSS feeds to populate it is not possible?

This idea would need some custom scripting of the event module I believe. Hiring a drupal guru may prove fruitful in this case.

You could also attach a feature request to the event modules project page, to see if the dev has any interest or can better direct you.

Thanks for the reply. This is just a hobby thing to learn Drupal, so hiring someone is out of the question. I was trying to figure out if there was an easier way than it feeling like I'm doing data entry. Again, thanks!

If you need to do a one-time import, I would use the Import/Export API. It works if you manage to get the data in correct xml form beforehand. You can export some dummy data first and use it as an example.
