I am loading events from a csv file and have descriptions that run over several lines. When I open the csv file in MS Excel, the description runs over several rows and when I try to import it into LoCalendar, it truncates after the first row.

How can I get this longer description into the event without having to enter it manually? You can see a sample of what I am trying to achieve at http://businessanalysisexperts.com/business-analysis-virtual-courses-calendar/. Since I am scheduling about 175 events, I need to avoid manual data entry.

Thanks for your help

I would also like to know:
1. Is there is any way to automatically fill the "Twitter" field?
2. How can I schedule an event that runs over 2 days (not a repeating event, but a 2-day seminar)?
Thanks.

Can you post one like of the CSV with one of these multi-row events?

On the other question, a 2 day event is considered an event that repeats for 2 days (hence the "repeats for the next x days" option).
The M4 view-style will show these as a single box spanning 2 days.

There is currently no way to populate the Twitter field from the CSV import (is that your question?)
