The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome. In the ex
An example of how to programmatically create an iCAL event in the default calendar, using Objective-C. The code checks if the event already exists, and sets the button state accordingly. Here is the code by @codeburger:
ReplyDelete-(void)initCalendar {
// An array of 1 dictionary object, containing START and END values.
NSMutableArray* pvDict = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:PV_URL ]];
// Check if the private view event already exists in the default calendar.
// Then set the calendar button state.
// Get a entry point to the Calendar database.
self.store = [[EKEventStore alloc ] init ];
// Get an array of all the calendars.
NSArray *calendars = store.calendars;
// Get the default calendar, set by the user in preferences.
EKCalendar *defaultCal = store.defaultCalendarForNewEvents;
// Find out if this calendar is modifiable.
BOOL isDefaultCalModifiable = defaultCal.allowsContentModifications ;
// Create an event in the default calendar.
self.event = [ EKEvent eventWithEventStore:store ];
self.event.title = CHELSEA_SPACE ;
self.event.location = CHELSEA_ADDRESS ;
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [[NSDateFormatter alloc] init];
[dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"yyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.S"];
NSString *startString = [[ pvDict objectAtIndex:0] objectForKey:@"starts" ];
NSDate *dateStart = [dateFormatter dateFromString:startString];
NSString *endString = [[ pvDict objectAtIndex:0] objectForKey:@"ends" ];
NSDate *dateEnd = [dateFormatter dateFromString:endString];
self.event.startDate = dateStart;
self.event.endDate = dateEnd;
self.event.calendar = defaultCal ;
// Alternative code to add 2.5 hours to start time.
// [[NSDate alloc] initWithTimeInterval:9000 sinceDate:event.startDate];
// Search for events which match this date/time start and end.
// Compare the matched events by event TITLE.
NSPredicate *predicate = [store predicateForEventsWithStartDate:event.startDate
endDate:event.endDate calendars:calendars];
NSArray *matchingEvents = [store eventsMatchingPredicate:predicate];
self.calendarButton.enabled = NO;
if( ! isDefaultCalModifiable ) {
// The default calendar is not modifiable
return ;
}
if ( [ matchingEvents count ] > 0 ) {
// There are already event(s) which match this date/time start and end.
// Check if this event is the PV
EKEvent *anEvent;
int j;
for ( j=0; j < [ matchingEvents count]; j++) {
anEvent = [ matchingEvents objectAtIndex:j ] ;
if([ CHELSEA_SPACE isEqualToString: anEvent.title ]) {
// PV event already exists in calendar.
return;
}
}
[ anEvent release ];
}
self.calendarButton.enabled = YES;
[ pvDict release ];
}
-(void)addEventToCalendar:(id)sender {
NSError *error;
BOOL saved = [self.store saveEvent:self.event span:EKSpanThisEvent error:&error];
NSLog(@"Saved calendar event = %@\n", (saved ? @"YES" : @"NO"));
self.calendarButton.enabled = NO;
}
I've seen this question with no answer and felt like it should be edited giving full credit to @codeburger.
