Hi!
A school project of mine, written in Cake, contains a list of events.
So far the events are accessible as RSS feeds and on the web-site,
however, I thought that it would be cool to implement iCal output.
First, I tried to do it using RequestHandler (which I had just learned
to use yesterday), but it doesn't look like it supports iCal output.
So, I defined a layout,
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<?php header('Content-type: text/calendar'); ?>
BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:2.0
X-WR-CALNAME:HTXEvent
X-WR-TIMEZONE:Europe/Copenhagen
CALSCALE:GREGORIAN
METHOD:PUBLISH
<?php echo $content_for_layout; ?>
END:VCALENDAR
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I then made a calendar.ctp view,
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<?php foreach ($events as $event){ ?>
BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:<?php echo date('Ymd', strtotime($event['Event']
['start'])); ?>
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:<?php echo date('Ymd', strtotime($event['Event']
['end'])); ?>
SUMMARY:<?php echo $event['Event']['title']; ?>
END:VEVENT
<?php } ?>
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And defined the calendar function in my EventsController,
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
function calendar()
{
$this->layout = 'ical';
$events = $this->paginate();
if (isset($this->params['requested']))
{
return $events;
}
$this->set('events', $events);
}
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The whole thing is very basic, reminds a lot of the old way of doing
RSS. However, would be cool if this could be implemented using
RequestAction, so do you guys have any suggestions to how that would
be done? Otherwise I'll let this act mail as a tutorial :)
