I am working on a website that was build using cakephp. I want to add the option for visitors of the website to make a appointment, then this should automatically be added to my outlook calender.
I found this tutorial from Microsoft on how to use the Microsoft graph API with php, however its made in laravel since I am not familiar with cakephp I was wondering on if it is a lot diffrent to do the same in cakephp or maybe there is a better or simpler solution. I wasnt realy able to find a guide or example made with cakephp (if you know of one that would be great).
Any help is appreciated, thanks!
I would define myself as a junior PHP developer (as have written small scripts occasionally). A week ago I started a new project to make a website for magic the gathering (card game) where users write and publish their articles on the game or tournaments.
Normally it wouldn't be a problem because if there is any external source, it could by hyperlinked and the problem is solved.
But in this case in articles users have to discuss about MTG cards, upload decklists and stuff like that and can't put hyperlinks for these things and neither create a database for all cards as only 3 months new cards are published with new set release.
What I am looking for is a 3rd party code integration into my project where user typing a string such as "[card_data]NAME OF CARD[card_data]" have a card preview by clicking on it.
There are several websites like:
https://www.mtggoldfish.com/articles/instant-deck-tech-five-color-birds-modern
https://www.channelfireball.com/all-strategy/articles/
and several other website.
I couldn't try anything because I don't know the procedure to call an API in php script, tutorials on youtube, or w3schools are very simple and often they are about facebook and google apis .
There are websites that have APi available for mtg cards data such as https://docs.magicthegathering.io/
https://scryfall.com/docs/api
https://www.echomtg.com/api/
But I am missing the part of integration them in my website.
I would like to have something like in this example where "Wasteland" is a card and by hovering on it or clicking on it there should be a card preview:
Of course, the easiest way to make Wasteland useless is never to play any land at all
I found a really easy and simple solution to the problem above. I'll use tooltips of https://deckbox.org/help/tooltips
I am working on a website for my organization which will allow users of the website to create/modify/etc room reservations for a number of spaces in our building.
Each room has a Google Calendar which links to several monitors around the building to display what rooms are [un]available. So, my goal was to utilize these calendars by having the website I am creating edit these google calendars. The problem I am having however is that from all the documentation I have been able to find, it looks like you have to prompt each user for Google Log-In. This is what I am trying to avoid. I want individuals to be able to log-in to my website, and then on the backend my website provides the authentication to Google so that they can add/edit/remove events from the aforementioned GCals based on permissions on set on their account.
Can anyone help direct me to the proper documentation? I've found a couple of things through some intensive Google-ing of my own, but I've become extremely confused about what method I should be using.
Any assistance in getting things rolling is appreciated!
If I understand it correctly, the concept that you want is to create a website that writes into your own calendar and not on the users calendar. Exactly what this 3 part tutorial of Sample Web Page for Booking gives:
Part 1: Setting up Google Calendar
Part 2: OAuth2 and Configuring Your ‘Application’ With Google
Part 3: A Sample Web Page For Bookings
This tutorial worked for many like what has been done in this SO post - How do I connect to the Google Calendar API without the oAuth authentication?.
I am making a website from scratch that will let users create accounts. I plan on having 4 type of accounts(Customer,Employee/Owner,Rep/Salesman,and Dealer). Out of those 4 type of accounts, the owner and the rep are the only ones who will see a calendar once they log-in. The owner should be able to modify events from the rep's calendar, and the rep can obviously modify his/her own calendar as well. I am not planning on making a calendar from scratch, but rather to get one that meet my needs from my website. I honestly don't know where to start looking, or what are some good scripts to get what I want done, so any help and thoughts are appreciate it.
Thanks!
This seems like quite a large task.
But have a look at this website with this calendar script in PHP, it might be a good place to start. If you want to hand code it.
I'm building a site for my school as a pet project, which would include accounts for all students. I want to display a calendar for each student that should have the following features:
It should be able to import events from multiple Google Calendar feeds. Compatibility with either the XML, ICAL or HTML feed will do.
It should be able to give different colors to different events based on the feeds which they originated from.
It would be nice if the calendar could also give different colors based on certains tags in the event titles, like all events starting with "Test: " will be red, and all events starting with "Deadline: " can be blue.
The interface should be nice, but simple. It should be easy to implement, and no dependency on Javascript would be good. Preferably, it will work simply on PHP.
It must provide 3 views of the calendar: Month, Week & Agenda
Features I don't require are:
Write ability (the calendars can/should be read-only)
Multiple-day events or recurring events
Links or html content inside events
What would be the simplest pre-made solution to implementing this? Currently, I am trying out various solutions like FullCalendar, and the various solutions listed at the Plans Website. However, none of them are perfect, because either they are not supported any more, or require javascript, or don't have all the features I need. I'm also gonna check out the GWT-cal plugin, and the Zend Calendar GData framework, but any feedback on your experiences with any of these would be good.
Can someone suggest the easiest way of getting this working?
Ok the word limit on comments is ridiculously low and irritating, so after having posted two comments and still having more to say, I decided to just post an answer. Sorry...
Yes, GCal is perfect, but I can't trust the technologically challenged students of my school to manually subscribe to ical feeds. So i wanna provide a site where people can select from a list of courses, and automatically get a customized event feed.
Right now, I have a rough implementation going by making a common Google Account that has separate calendars for each course. Then with some url trickery, I embed a custom iframe that gives a special read-only version of the calendar with only the calendars applicable to that specific user. This will probably raise problems when I want email notifications of events and stuff, and might force me to go into the Google Calendar API in detail. :(
Can you check out my other question at Is there anything wrong with the way I'm implementing a Calendar on my site? and give some feedback?
you should check out gwt-cal. versin 0.8.x only provides day/week view but the 0.9.0 branch implements an Agenda view with a Month view in progress.
First of all, GWT-cal is not PHP, it is Java. Secondly, why do you not want to work with JavaScript? Finally, if you are importing it all from Google Calendar, why not use Google Calendar as it has almost all you are requesting and can handle all of the user accounts and such?
The way I understand the project is you are attempting to either make one page that displays many different calendars from all the students or have each student sign in and view their calendar. Is that correct?
I would build (or find) an app that mixes the selected iCal feeds together to create a new feed, so that it can be subscribed to in GCal/iCal/Outloook/30boxes/...
If you still want a display you might try WebCalendar.
IIRC there are also some Drupal modules for this kind of thing.
