Ical feed integration

Development
1

HI there,

I am rebuilding a site which has an ical feed plugin in wordpress - which pulls in the availability from the airbnb property feed.

I was searching the Extras to see if there’s anything in MODX which can do the same, but I can’t find anything.
I saw MX Calendar referred to in the forum, but the docs don’t mention ical feeds
https://extras.modx.com/package/mxcalendar2?version=1.1.11-pl

Has anyone done this before?
I don’t need the ability to book - just to show availabiity in a simple calendar (e.g. green dates are available, red dates are not.

Thanks!
Andy

Maybe Agenda from modmore can be used for this:

Funnily enough I actualyl saw that after posting on here - s I have emailed Mark to see if it would work - I can’t quite tell from the docs whether it would or not, but looks promising!

Thanks
Andy

I haven’t seen a native MODX Extra that directly supports iCal feeds, but you might be able to use a custom script with SimplePie or another PHP library to parse the iCal data and then integrate it into MX Calendar or a simple table. If you just need a basic availability display, a custom snippet might be the way to go.

OK thank you - I will have a look at that.
