Kwik Event Calendar – Integration
Kwik Event Calendar is based around Twitter Bootstrap the popular HTML, CSS, and JS framework. It may be silly to point out but Kwik Event Calendar is a jQuery plugin so jQuery is a requirement 
OK so how do you get started?
After downloading Kwik Event Calendar (here) upload the files to your host server. Logically stylesheet CSS files go into your css folder, and the javascript files into your js folder. The Kwik Event Calendar download is structured like this:
- kwik_event_calendar_v1_0_0
- CSS
- bootstrap.min.css
- font-awesome.min.css
- kwik-events-calendar-style.css
- Fonts
- FontAwesome.otf
- fontawesome-webfont.eot
- fontawesome-webfont.svg
- fontawesome-webfont.ttf
- fontawesome-webfont.woff
- fontawesome-webfont.woff2
- JS
- bootstrap.min.js
- jquery.min.js
- kwik-events-calendar.js
- moment-with-locales.js
- tether.min.js
- example.html
Copy-paste the stylesheet <link>’s into the <head> of your web page. Make sure they are in the following order:
- <link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” href=”path_to/css/bootstrap.min.css”>
- <link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” href=”path_to/css/font-awesome.min.css”>
- <link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” href=”path_to/css/any other style sheets you currently use”>
- <link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” href=”path_to/css/kwik-events-calendar-style.css”>
Add the JavaScript pages near the end of your pages, right before the closing </body> tag. Make sure they are in the following order:
- <script type=”text/javascript” src=”path_to/js/jquery.min.js”></script>
- <script type=”text/javascript” src=”path_to/js/tether.min.js”></script>
- <script type=”text/javascript” src=”path_to/js/bootstrap.min.js”></script>
- <script type=”text/javascript” src=”path_to/js/>moment-with-locales.js”></script>
- <script type=”text/javascript” src=”path_to/js/any other JavaScript pages/jQuery plugins you currently use”></script>
- <script type=”text/javascript” src=”path_to/js/kwik-events-calendar.js”></script>
- <script type=”text/javascript” src=”path_to/js/your site javascript page.js”></script>
And that’s it all you need to do now is create an HTML element on your page to display your Kwik Event Calendar – example:
<div id=”my_kwik_event_calendar_HTML_element”></div>
You add the Kwik Event Calendar plugin to the appropriate HTML element just by adding this code:
jQuery(’#my_kwik_event_calendar_HTML_element’).kwikEventsCalendar();
Alter the behaviour and appearance of your Kwik Event Calendar just by adding options to the code:
jQuery(’#my_kwik_event_calendar_HTML_element’).kwikEventsCalendar(options)
Easilly syncronise events to Kwik Event Calendar from either a .json file or the database of your choice via Ajax by using the events option:
jQuery(’#my_kwik_event_calendar_HTML_element’).kwikEventsCalendar( eventsList: // an array of events // )
Example syntax to obtain data from a php page query
jQuery.getJSON(“http://your url/script_page_name.php?callback=?”,function(data)
var events = data
)
Example php page query (using PDO & assuming the eventdate field is a ‘standard’ Unix Timestamp )
if(isset($_GET[‘callback’] ))
$stmt = $dbh->prepare(“SELECT id_field AS eventid, as UNIX_TIMESTAMP_MS(eventdate_field) AS eventdate,title_field AS title,image_field AS image,text_field AS text,class_field as Class,location AS location,bookable AS bookable FROM events_list_table”);
$stmt->execute();
$row = $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
$data = json_encode($row);
echo $_GET[‘callback’] . ‘(’ . $data . ‘)’;
Please note – the use of jsonP callback – e.g. callback=? This is included as sometimes Chrome depending on version and your host/database connection does not like getJSON without.
Example syntax to obtain data from a .json file
events:[ false’,
‘bookable’:’true ]
You can also make your Kwik Event Calendar interactive by adding actions to Kwik Event Calendar via Callbacks:
jQuery(’#my_kwik_event_calendar_HTML_element’).kwikEventsCalendar(
callback:function() // action in here //
)
