Glad you got it working. And Kyle’s work is likely what fixed your issues :-D

Hi,

I’ve finally managed to get this snippet working, although only in ’list’ mode. When I change the parameter within the snippet call to ’calendar’ I get the following error message,

« MODx Parse Error »
MODx encountered the following error while attempting to parse the requested resource:
« PHP Parse Error »

PHP error debug
Error: mktime() expects parameter 5 to be long, string given
Error type/ Nr.: Warning - 2
File: /usr1/apache/virtual/../htdocs/../assets/snippets/GoogleEvents/source/activecalendar.php
Line: 837
Line 837 source: else return mktime($hr,$min,$sec,$month,$day,$year);

Parser timing
MySQL: 0.0134 s (36 Requests)
PHP: 0.2412 s
Total: 0.2546 s

Anybody know why this is happening, and how to fix it?

Thanks for the help.

I’m managing multiple calendars in google so that I can categorize my events (classes, talks, workshops), and display a list of the appropriate type of events individually.

The problem is that I also want to be able to display a "master calendar" that integrates the events from these multiple calendars into a single calendar view. I want to do this without having to manage a "master calendar" that I add events to from the other calendars after I create the events. Is there any way to allow multiple xml feed parameters (email addresses) to do this? I realize that I can post one after another with multiple snippet calls, but this is not what I’m after. I’d like to be able to display a calendar view with the events from multiple calendars all integrated into one.

Thanks for the great snippet,
Dave

Hi!

I have a problem with my google events modul. I make a new event in the calendar for a specific date (i.e. 15.11.), but on the site it shows the current date for every event (27.10. for today). If I click to an event, in the google calendar it shows the appropriate date.
Any idea?

Could you please tell me the version you are using, the call you are using, and a link to the site with the output, and also paste the information you get when you add the parameter "&debug=`1`"

- The link to the page: http://www.bartrender.hu/programok.html.
- The version is 1.3.4.
- The call:

[!GoogleEvents?dayNameSize=`full` &outputType=`list` &calendarType=`small` &email=`[email protected]` &tpl=`googleTpl` &lastEvent=`360`!]

- The googleTpl chunk:

<a href="[+linkURL+]" target="_blank">[+title+]</a></h2>
<p>mikor: [+startDate+] idopont: [+startTime+]<br />
Info: [+content+]</p>

- The debug info (never mind the encoding):

This is what I think the "Where" string should be:

Is there any hope for me?

Hi Jess,
Any progress with my problem?

The snippet is not parsing the date correctly because it is looking for strings in English to do the parsing logic. If you are just looking to have a list, have you thought about utilizing FeedX? I believe it would work for your site and I could help you figure out how to template it in that thread.

Another solution would be to go through the snippet code and replace the English strings with strings appropriate for the language you are using.

I have attached an updated version that should allow you to translate this a lot easier. Just change this area in the code to the appropriate strings:

//Strings that need to be translated
define("WHERE_STRING", "Where:");
define("WHEN_STRING", "When:");
define("DESCRIPTION_STRING", "Event Description: ");

I haven’t tested it, but that should work. Also, in about three weeks, I will have some time to refactor this snippet using the new SimplePie 1.0 and should hopefully solve the problems with recurring events, internationalization, and possibly add the ability to mash multiple calendars together.

I went ahead and switched it over to SimplePie 1.0.1. Try that version and see if it fixes your problems.

Moderators...can this thread be locked down? The other thread tracks the most up to date version.
