[PHPiCalendar-DEV] Using the ranges with the rss.php in the CVS
|

I did that patch in the most recent CVS. cpath is a parameter added to several of the files in the CVS...it lets you keep calendars in different subdirectories, and it's unrelated to the patch for date ranges. I think I need to figure out how to handle that - probably the code should test for whether cpath is defined and only add to the $_GET vars passed if it is. I guess I missed it because I never use the links. You should be able to just edit out the &cpath= in line 133. Jim Hu p.s. Here's an example of how I use phpicalendar and magpie to generate a page with a range of events...it's why I did the patch in the first place. Here's the page: http://molbio.tamu.edu/index.php?linkname=Home&content=seminars Here's the key section of the php code: <?php require_once ("magpierss-0.71/rss_fetch.inc"); $thisyear = date("Y") * 10000; $thismonth = date("n"); $fromdate = $thisyear + 101; $todate = $thisyear + 515; if ($thismonth > 4) { $fromdate = $thisyear + 401; $todate = $thisyear + 831; } if ($thismonth > 7) { $fromdate = $thisyear + 801; $todate = $thisyear + 1231; } $url = "http://dimer.tamu.edu/phpicalendar-2.0a/rss/rss.php? cpath=seminars&rssview=range&from=$fromdate&to=$todate"; #print "url:$url<br>\n"; $rss = fetch_rss( $url ); echo "<h2> " . $rss->channel['title'] . "</h2>"; foreach ($rss->items as $item) { $href = $item['link']; $title = $item['title']; #title of the rss feed item - not the seminar title $seminardate = $item['seminardate']; $seminarspeaker = stripslashes(urldecode($item['seminarspeaker'])); $seminartitle = $item['seminartitle']; $time = $item['event_start']; $location = $item['location']; $status = $item['status']; $seminarhost = $item['seminarhost']; $temp = explode('"',$seminarhost); $host = $temp[4]; if (strpos($temp[9],'@') > 0){ $host.=" (".$temp[9].")"; } if ($title == 'No events found'){ print "No Seminars in the Calendar for this period - check back later"; }else{ echo " <tr> <td height='19' bgcolor= '#FFFFFF'><p><font color='#660000' size='2'> <strong>$seminardate $time $status</strong></font>$location<font size='2'><br> Speaker:$seminarspeaker<br> Title: $seminartitle<br> Host: $host</font></p> </td> </tr> "; } } ?> On Feb 25, 2005, at 10:15 PM, php...@li... wrote: > Send Phpicalendar-devel mailing list submissions to > php...@li... > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/phpicalendar-devel > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > php...@li... > > You can reach the person managing the list at > php...@li... > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Phpicalendar-devel digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
