BOMOIcalBundle

This bundle is used to create an ics file or url to populate a shared calendar with events.

Overview

<?php
public function getIcs()
{
    $provider = $this->get('bomo_ical.ics_provider');

    $tz = $provider->createTimezone();
    $tz
        ->setTzid('Europe/Paris')
        ->setProperty('X-LIC-LOCATION', $tz->getTzid())
        ;

    $cal = $provider->createCalendar($tz);

    $cal
        ->setName('My cal1')
        ->setDescription('Foo')
        ;

    $datetime = new \Datetime('now');
    $event = $cal->newEvent();
    $event
        ->setStartDate($datetime)
        ->setEndDate($datetime->modify('+5 hours'))
        ->setName('Event 1')
        ->setDescription('Desc for event')
        ->setAttendee('foo@bar.me')
        ->setAttendee('John Do')
        ;

    $alarm = $event->newAlarm();
    $alarm
        ->setAction('DISPLAY')
        ->setDescription($event->getProperty('description'))
        ->setTrigger('-PT2H') //See Dateinterval string format
        ;

    // All Day event
    $event = $cal->newEvent();
    $event
        ->isAllDayEvent()
        ->setStartDate($datetime)
        ->setEndDate($datetime->modify('+10 days'))
        ->setName('All day event')
        ->setDescription('All day visualisation')
        ;

    $calStr = $cal->returnCalendar();

    return new Response(
        $calStr,
        200,
        array(
            'Content-Type' => 'text/calendar; charset=utf-8',
            'Content-Disposition' => 'attachment; filename="calendar.ics"',
        )
    );
}

Actual state

This bundle is in stable state;

Installation

Add BOMOIcalBundle in your composer.json

{
    "require": {
        "bomo/ical-bundle": "1.0.*"
    }
}

Note:

Kigkonsult is require on version dev-master. You need to change your minimum-stability or require explicitly kigkonsult/icalcreator to prevent composer dependencies errors.

{
    "require": {
        "bomo/ical-bundle": "1.0.*"
    },
    "minimum-stability": "dev"
}

{
    "require": {
        "bomo/ical-bundle": "1.0.*",
        "kigkonsult/icalcreator": "dev-master"
    }
}

Now tell composer to download the bundle by running the step:

$ php composer.phar update bomo/ical-bundle

AppKernel.php

$bundles = array(
    ...
    new BOMO\IcalBundle\BOMOIcalBundle(),
);

User's Guide

All objects can be managed regardless by the provider. But the object need to be attached.

Event attached to Calendar

Alarm attached to Event

To simplify the use, the objects are a proxy method to create a child feature.

$alarm = $event->newAlarm();
$alarm
    ->set[...]
    [...]
    ;

Is stricly same that

$alarm = $provider->createAlarm();
$alarm
    ->set[...]
    [...]
    ;
$event->attachAlarm($alarm);

Outlook compatibility

Outlook does not support the parameter "x-wr-timezone". To prevent adding it to the ics, the createCalendar has a new parameter for defining whether or not to include a Timezone in the ics.

$ical = $cal = $this->provider->createCalendar(null, true);
