Using EventStore, can I create a new iCal calendary type?



So in my app I rely heavily on iCal, and I can add events using EventStore, but only to the "defaultCalendarForNewEvents". I want to make a new calendar just for the events I create in the app, let's say MyApp calendar, which would behave much like the iCal calendars like "Home", "Work", etc.





Is there a way to do this progamatically?





Right now, I've tried this:







EKEventStore *eventStore = [[EKEventStore alloc] init];



NSArray *calendars = [eventStore calendars];

BOOL calendarHasBeenInitialized = NO;

for(NSCalendar *cal in calendars)

{

if([cal.calendarIdentifier isEqualToString:@"Workout Tracker"])

{

calendarHasBeenInitialized = YES;

}

}

if(!calendarHasBeenInitialized)

{

NSString *string = [[NSString alloc] initWithString:@"Workout Tracker"];

NSCalendar *workoutCalendar = (__bridge NSCalendar *)(CFCalendarCreateWithIdentifier(kCFAllocatorSystemDefault, (__bridge CFStringRef)string));

EKCalendar *ekcalendar = (EKCalendar *)workoutCalendar;

NSError *error;

[eventStore saveCalendar:ekcalendar commit:YES error:&error];

}







This is called in my App Delegate where if the calendar is not in the calendars array, I attempt to create it. This however, does not work.





Any help would be appreciated!

  1. According to the docs, use EKCalendar's +calendarWithEventStore: method to create a new calendar in the event store you specify. I expect it'd go like this:

    EKCalendar *newCalendar = [EKCalendar calendarWithEventStore:eventStore];

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
