combining Formbuilder and Calendar

[janvl]

Hi,

is ist possible to enter a startdate, an enddate and description in Formbuilder and then generate a new event in CGCalendar?

Do i need to hand over through PHP parameters in the url or is there a better way?

I have build with formbuilder a simple Ticketsystem and got the question if this could also be linked to a calendar.

I would be gratefull if one could point in the right direction.

Regards,
Jan

As far as I know CGCalendar doesn't offer a suitable API to add events.

You may want to consider using your ticketing system itself to build a calendar.

Thanks Velden,

i have a script running on one of the servers that dumps events from Booked into CGCalendar, that is however the old version.

I have just begun with this idea and the ticket-system with Formbuilder and Formbrowser is functioning.

The user for whom it is, asked if an integrated calendar, is possible and i have a site where the Formbuilder and calendar are combined but not in this specific way.

I will see what other option i have "itop" is to large for that.

regards,
Jan

Well, of course it is possible to add the events into CGCalendar. Just check the code of CGCalendar and see how it's done there. And/or check your script.

I once created a reservation system with LISE (frontend is CGBetterForms).

You could create a LISE summary template to create a calendar view in the frontend. Like CGCalendar you could use https://fullcalendar.io/ to display the calendar.

Hi Velden,

you are one step ahead of me, I have some other Webapps that use fullcalendar.io and will have a look there what could be done.

I did use Listit for an animalshelter once but when I was ready the owner died of a heartattack, so it was never used.

At first I will have a look if I can shovel the "Event" of the ticket into CGCalendar with an UDT.
Since only 1 person will make tickets that might work, entering events into CGCalendar on a multi-user-base could give trouble with the database (at least in the 1.12.2 cms version).

Thanks for thinking with me!
