simplepie php for google calander

[alonebfg]

Hi I have been working on a scrolling calendar for my xibo display
It uses simplepie and jquery.newsScroll
it works atm but not as I would like it to so that I could share it
here is the code

 <?php
 
require 'simplepie.inc';
 
// Create a new class that extends an existing class
class SimplePie_Item_Extras extends SimplePie_Item {
    var $show_past_events = TRUE;
    
    function set_show_past_events($value = FALSE){
        $this->show_past_events = $value;
    }
    /**
    This is an example of adding a new method to an existing class
    */
    
    function check_url($url_to_check){
        $tmp = str_replace("/basic","/full",$url_to_check);
//        if(!strpos($tmp,'?'))
//            $tmp = $this->append($tmp,"?")
 
//        else{
//            if(!(substr($tmp, -1) === '&'))
//                $tmp = $this->append($tmp,'&');
//        }
//        if($this->show_past_events)
//            $tmp = $this->append($tmp,'futureevents=false&');
//        else
//            $tmp = $this->append($tmp,'futureevents=true&');
//        if($this->sort_ascending)
//            $tmp = $this->append($tmp,'sortorder=ascending&');
//        else
//            $tmp = $this->append($tmp,'sortorder=descending&');
//        if($this->orderby_by_start_date)
//            $tmp = $this->append($tmp,'orderby=starttime&');
//        else
//            $tmp = $this->append($tmp,'orderby=lastmodified&');
//        if($this->expand_single_events)
//            $tmp = $this->append($tmp,'singleevents=true&');
//        else
//            $tmp = $this->append($tmp,'singleevents=false&');
//        return $tmp;
        }
    // Retrieve the <gd:when startTime="" /> value.
    function get_gcal_starttime($format = false)
    {

        // Once we grab the tag, let's grab the startTime attribute
        $date = $when[0]['attribs']['']['startTime'];
 
        if ($format)
        {
            // Let's pass it through strtotime() and then format it with date(). This will be the date we display.
            return date($format, strtotime($date));
        }
        else
        {
            // Otherwise we'll return it as-is with no modifications.

            return date($format, strtotime($date));
        }
        else

at the moment you need to change Parents Calander manually as a lot of the code does not work i have zipped the other files if anyone else wants a play.
I have used various of open sources to create this I just want to make it easier for other people to use.
