SOCS .ics Calendar Parser
=========================

[](#socs-ics-calendar-parser)

A PHP Script that parses an ICS file from SOCS, in a readable format to display elsewhere.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Super easy to use.
- Once you've included it in your composer package, just one line of code will get you a PHP array of Event Objects.
- Compatible with Wordpress transients, if you use Wordpress.
- Compatible with Laravel Caching, if you use Laravel.
- Actively managed - if you have a feature or idea request, please let me know, or even better - submit a [pull request](https://github.com/fredbradley/socs-calendar-ics-parser/pulls).

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

This project requires PHP 7. I'm too lazy to write for PHP5.6 these days. Get with the program!

How to install
--------------

[](#how-to-install)

```
composer install fredbradley/socs-calendar-ics-parser

```

Examples
--------

[](#examples)

### Wordpress Widget Example

[](#wordpress-widget-example)

This is written to work with Wordpress and even has Wordpress Caching (`set_transient`) functionality built in, to speed up page load times.

If you want to see an example of a widget that uses this code, [please see this piece of code](https://github.com/cranleighschool/cranleigh-socs/blob/master/src/Widgets/UpcomingCalendarEventsWidget.php) in my 'cranleigh-socs' plugin. If you like you can install the entire [Cranleigh SOCS Plugin](https://github.com/cranleighschool/cranleigh-socs), but be aware it's written in Bootstrap 3 with HTML markup specifically for our sites.

[![Wordpress Example](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1639226/43061908-eca937b6-8e4e-11e8-8bf7-bd2ea0b2b6b5.png)](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1639226/43061908-eca937b6-8e4e-11e8-8bf7-bd2ea0b2b6b5.png)

If you want some help customising it, I'd be happy to help.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Options

[](#options)

- `minNumEvents` (default: 5)
- `ignoreCache` (default: false) Set to `true` if you don't want get the object from the cache.
- `cacheName` (default: 'calendar-cache') if you have more than one instance of this, you should probably give each instance a unique cache name, so they don't overwrite each other
- `weeksAhead` (default: 15) how many weeks ahead to you want to get the events for
