[PHPiCalendar-DEV] phpMyCal - editable calendars in phpicalendar

[Benjamin L. <be...@um...>]

Hello all,
I've got something fairly complete put together which adds calendar 
editing to phpicalendar.  Right now it's based on 0.8.1, but I don't 
expect any problems adapting anything new.

phpMyCal (for lack of a more creative name)

phpMyCal is an interface for a schedule database using MySQL.  The core 
set of functionality provides for creating, editing, and deleting 
calendars and events, and generating iCalendar data.  An add on bridge 
allows direct interaction with phpicalendar.

Calendar access controlled with a simple password design.  There is an 
admin password required for creating, editing, or deleting calendars.  
Each calendar can optionaly have its own password set.  No calendar 
password means anyone can make changes, otherwise the password is 
required for each change.

For integrating with phpicalendar, I envisioned the usage being one or 
more calendars set up to be published from the user's computer, and 
then one or more set up in phpMyCal that are then subscribed to on the 
user's computer.

At this point phpMyCal only supports the most basic of event details.  
There are no attendees, alarms, or recurring events.  Also the 
interface is completely unpolished.  Dates are expected to be 
"month/day/year" and times "24hour:minutes" and no work has gone in to 
making things look nice.  Also I have yet to set up a place within the 
phpicalendar interface to create calendars.

This really isn't ready for any kind of release, but I'd like to show 
what I have and see what people think.

My installation of this is at:
http://dev.neb.net/phpicalendar/

The default calendar is set to School, although it could be set to a 
phpMyCal calendar instead.  In the calendar list you'll see First Test 
Calendar, Number Two Calendar, and an ics.php... Webcal.  First Test 
and Number Two are the two testing calendars in the database.  First 
Test requires a password to make changes, while Number Two doesn't.  
The Webcal is actualy First Test feeding through the ics generation in 
order to test that $master_array is generated correctly by the phpMyCal 
bridge.

New Event is in the list with "Go to Today," etc. and editing/deleting 
events can be done from the event popup.

Again, I just finished getting the functionality working so expect many 
rough edges.  If there's interest I can write up more about the 
technical side of what I did.  I'd like to clean up a few more lose 
ends before sharing my code, but I do hope to have this go somewhere 
beyond what I've done.
