I'm working on a program that parses text and turns it into iCal events. I'm then using FullCalendar to display the information inside a google gadget.
I'm currently importing the .ics file into my google calendar, making that public, and then pointing fullCalendar at it.
However I'm trying to do accomplish without making the information public. Any ideas?
Alternatively, is there any other lightweight customizable javascript calendar that can interpret .iCal?
Ideally I would be able to just use a single day view/single week view and not an entire month view.
You never said if you using PHP, .NET or what.
So I will assume you use .NET just becuase i use it.
I use this nice DLL Library in .NET
DDay iCal
I use it to create iCals so that people can import to iphones,outlook etc. but briefly looking there is a way to serialize it as well, so you could use it anyway you need to.
And Google Calendars are not listed publicly any more because of private security. Only people with the link can access the gCal.. and your the only ones that knows it. If somebody wanted to get sensitive data then no matter what method you used it always has some vulnerably
I wish I had a better answer. I was doing the same thing (iCalendar format -> Google Calendar, public -> FullCalendar) but became frustrated with how slowly Google Calendar would update. So instead, I put the data into JSON format for FullCalendar.
So now, the site does (A) iCalendar format for distribution to people (they can add it to their own Google Calendar, iCal software, etc.), and also (2) JSON format for FullCalendar.
The advantage is that I can reformat the JSON "description" part to make it look better with QTip bubbles (html line breaks, css styling).
There is also jQuery iCalendar you should check it out.
And there is JSON to XML converter, it's very useful maybe it can help.
Both can work with any language, you should try them and see which
one is better for your specific calendar.

I'm trying to lift all the User IDs that match a segment in Adobe Analytics and store them somewhere (anywhere really), so I can then feed them into an action system for targeting.
Documentation seems hard to find - anyone have ideas on how I could achieve this?
Not sure if there's APIs or SDKs that let me pull this data, or pre-built connectors into something like Google Sheets, but again documentation seems light at best.
The simplest tool to use would likely be the Report Builder. It's an Excel extension by Adobe to export the data. It's pretty powerful. Can do pretty much everything AA can.
You could also generate data feeds and ETL the data from there to wherever you need it. It's a bit more advanced though.
Finally, you have the customer journey API, which would now be an even more advanced level of ETL.
Otherwise, yes, Adobe is notorious for how bad their documentation is and how hard it is to find it. It's almost like they don't want the good documentation to be there in order to sell more of their certification courses.
Note that sometimes when you google something and get to their forum to see the answer, Adobe will attempt to hide the answer behind the authentication wall. Just open that link in incognito and you'll be good. Adobe is pretty weird.
I wish to use the results of the Google translation that results from right clicking on a web page in Chrome, as opposed to using the API. These results I will use as part of a web language learning tool. I have read this page: https://cloud.google.com/translate/attribution about adding a logo, and have also read the HTML markup requirements at https://cloud.google.com/translate/markup.
My question is as these terms and conditions pages are referring to the API, do they also apply to using the translation results of using the Chrome menu item? I could use the API but this is much simpler for my temporary need.
Yes, when you're using the Google Translate Tool in a page by using the right-click, you can see that it send a request to the Google Translate API.
In definition, you have to add Google Attribution.
I guess for a personal website or non-commercial use it might not be that big of an issue but still, it will avoid future ones.
I need to present Word and PDF documents in a read-only preview, via an ASPX/HTML page to my internal users. In a related requirement, I need to present editable Word documents, via ab ASPX/HTML page, to parties outside of our network - effectively the public.
We cannot rely upon Word or Adobe-type PDF plugins being available on the destination PC.
Can anyone suggest a way to do this?
Edit - For clarity, the document/data would ideally stay on our own servers.
What about using Google Docs API? You could use either their word-like doc or a form to get the data you need, and then present that internally.
Not sure if this meets all of your requirements, or is an available option.
For our company, we have a few tools that utilize Google Docs. We upload data dynamically to them for specific needs.
Based on your requirements, maybe it's best to just write your own. I haven't created a Rich Text Editor. But it looks like there are quite a few tutorials online. Here is a basic tutorial for a rich text editor. It's using javascript, HTML, & CSS. If you prefer to not use js, then you may need to look for other tutorials.
This isn't the most glamorous solution, as it looks like the users view would be HTML. I'd think you could have it updating dynamically off to the side with an actual rich text view (similar to how Stack Overflow has theirs below an answer or question being written).

Over the weekend I was exploring HTML5's contenteditable attribute, I came across an editor that builds off of that called Aloha Editor. It's a WYSIWYG type editor. But if that's something that you desire for your clients, than this would probably be a pretty simple integration. I have yet to use it, but it seems like it would be a great fit - if you decide to go the route of building your own editor.
You could use the Zoho API or, if you need to keep all data on your own servers and validated clients at all times, you could try the Aspose components.
If you're interested to provide documents in a view-only way then you can try GroupDocs as well: http://groupdocs.com/. They offer viewers for different file types which you can add to your website very easily: http://groupdocs.com/apps/viewer.
Since you need to keep data on your own server, aceoffix can be one of your alternative. It is a plugin installed on your own server and save all data on your server too.
I want to make google like intelligence searching system for searching data from list in my project. i mean when i write something in google bar for searching it automatically start showing some related words in down side. how can i achieve that search in my project? should i use some API ?
With ASP.NET AJAX, you can use AutoComplete control which would give you that functionality 'as is' without writing any extra code.
You can use Jquery too
I was wonder if anyone can help me with this. I've been looking everywhere for this information, but I want to make a web application using dascode rss. I know that you can't link external sources. Does anyone know a way I can get around it. From what I understand a little php can get around this, but I'm unsure where to look.
OK, first thing no PHP. Dashcode is limited to HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Although having said that there are a whole range of system calls that cna be made using the functionality provided by various parts of the x-cde system.
Second yes you can link to external sources such as other web sites, api on say Twitter, google etc. RSS feeds and so on, not sure where you got the idea to the contrary.
If you want to learn how to do a Dashcode RSS then open up Dashcode, start a new project, either web based or Dsashboard based and choose the RSS project. This will give you an out of the box template to add you own information and then see how it works. Then customise it.
In the above i am assuming Snow Leopard and the latest Dashcode/X-code but it will still gove you most of what you want on earlier version.
