Hi every one,
i would like to lunch a php script as a alarm for my event,
i wrote something like this in my event :
BEGIN:VALARM
TRIGGER;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110319T191500
ACTION:PROCEDURE
*ATTACH;FMTTYPE=application/binary:http://website.com/scripts/my_script.php*
END:VALARM
is this what should be used ?
Thank you.
Here is a VALARM created by iCal when I set an applescript alarm:
BEGIN:VALARM
X-WR-ALARMUID:5FDE7D26-C988-4460-B3B9-637CB94F8BAC
TRIGGER:-PT15M
ATTACH;VALUE=URI:file://localhost/Volumes/Macintosh%20HD%202/Sundry/scri
pts/CalReport.scpt
ACTION:PROCEDURE
END:VALARM
Thank you,
i will try this
BEGIN:VALARM
TRIGGER;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110319T191500
ATTACH;VALUE=URI:http://web.site/script.php
ACTION:PROCEDURE
END:VALARM
for the moment my ical files are in a directory on my local mac, should them be on a web server so that it can work ?
I would think your script needs to be on the same machine as the iCal files.
Hi,
now i put all in a hoster webserver, php files executed on a Apach server, and all "ics" files in the same directory.
i changed the alarm code to send a simple email instead of executing a PHP file to see what happens but no emails sent.
how can ics files execute alarms ? it needs some other files or a specific environnement ?
Perhaps you should explain what it is that you are trying to achieve; I think an iCal alarm is only going to be able to initiate an action script on the machine on which iCal is running.
Well,
on a Linux server, i have a Icalendar program : web calendar viewer(PHP), it containes a directory to put the ICS files to be treated. ics calendars contains events with alarms - every time a specific event alarm is run, it should run VLC with a specific vidéo. th achieve this, alarms have (ACTION:PROCEDURE) and (ATTACH;FMTTYPE=text/php;VALUE=BINARY;file:http://web-site.com/script.php) the script.php contains php code wich run VLC.
the ics files and the php script torun are on the same server.
first, i will install a iCal server on the Linux server (since the icalendar program doesn't seem to run alarm correctly !) i am looking for an open source ical server able to run procedure alarm (because google agenda can't run procedure alarm it only can send emails as a alarm).
then i should be sur i use the correct syntax when i define (ATTACH)
what do you think ?
ical alarm must lunch a php script
