I have to import a large number of events & associated attendees, so I am creating code to do this. Are you able to point me in the direction of any support/information/code that would help me achieve the creation of a new event, and/or registering a user to the event?
I am currently creating a new post with the post_type as espresso_events, then adding post_meta for the _EventStartDate and _EventEndDate but I am not sure if this is the correct way to do it?

Okay – I have progressed a little, and now using the event model. Is it possible to create events with the start and end dates in the past?
// Create the event
$event = EE_Event::new_instance(array(
'EVT_name' => wp_strip_all_tags($event_title),
'EVT_desc' => $event_content,
'EVT_slug' => $event_slug,
'EVT_short_desc' => $event_excerpt,
'EVT_wp_user' => $author_id,
));
if ($event->save()) {
$event_id = $event->ID();
// Set the post status using WordPress functions
wp_update_post(array(
'ID' => $event_id,
'post_status' => 'publish'
));
// Create the datetime
$datetime = EE_Datetime::new_instance(array(
'EVT_ID' => $event_id,
'DTT_EVT_start' => $formatted_start_date,
'DTT_EVT_end' => $formatted_end_date,
'DTT_reg_limit' => -1,
'DTT_sold' => 0,
'DTT_order' => 0,
));
if ($datetime->save()) {
// Link the datetime to the event
$event->_add_relation_to($datetime, 'Datetime');
echo "Event created successfully with ID: " . $event_id;
} else {
echo "Error saving datetime.";
}
} else {
echo "Error creating event.";
}
