Hi

I'm trying to feed a jQuery calendar with data from Silverstripe. I've installed the perfectly well-working Calendar Event module, but all I want now is to pull out some Calendar Events and return them as a json array. Here is the code for initiating the calendar:

$(document).ready(function() {
	
		$('#calendar').fullCalendar({
			draggable: true,
			events: "json_events.php",
			eventDrop: function(event, delta) {
				alert(event.title + ' was moved ' + delta + ' days\n' +
					'(should probably update your database)');
			},
			loading: function(bool) {
				if (bool) $('#loading').show();
				else $('#loading').hide();
			}
		});
		
	});

And here is the json_events.php:

<?php

	$year = date('Y');
	$month = date('m');

	echo json_encode(array(
	
		array(
			'id' => 1,
			'title' => "Event1",
			'start' => "$year-$month-10",
			'url' => "http://yahoo.com/"
		),
		
		array(
			'id' => 2,
			'title' => "Event2",
			'start' => "$year-$month-20",
			'end' => "$year-$month-22",
			'url' => "http://yahoo.com/"
		)
	
	));

?>

The question is just, how or what should I do to get this working with silverstripe. Should I use the restfull server API? And if yes, how would I do that since I can't find any documentation on how to use the restfull server with json export.

Many thanks

Hm. Just write a method in your Controller, that returns your Data as json?
Something like:

// put this in your Page_Controller or <whatever>_Controller
public function json(){
	// gather event data to an array
	return json_encode($arrayData);
}

Then you can call the URL of that page and append /json to it.
eg. http://localhost/silverstripe/page/json (will call the json method of the page-Controller)

But of course, yes, thanks, works like a charm.
