How to embed icalendar on webpage - web

Just want to ask if any one has any idea how to embed an apple icalendar to a webpage? Apparently you can't do this directly using an iframe with the webcal:// address.

Best I can figure, based on Googling it and trying, is that it can't be done at the moment. Wordpress.com lets you but I don't think they let you see the inner workings.
What I did was insert Google Calendar and sync it with iCal. The nice thing is you can apply css to Google Calendar and they make it very easy to insert Google calendar and it can display a a list (great for seeing more than one months worth of stuff), as a calendar month or just show one week.
Hope that helps.

Searching for Old YouTube Videos

I'm trying to find all of the YouTube videos created by IGN's channel during the month of February 2014. IGN currently has 118,000+ videos uploaded, so going back through all of them is not possible. I previously used the following Google search string and a custom date range to find them:
site:youtube.com ignentertainment
This doesn't work anymore for some reason. I'd be much obliged if anyone has any ideas of how to do this. I have no idea what an API is, but if there's a VERY simple way of using that to do what I want that can be explained briefly, I'm willing to go that route.
Thanks.
You can use google to limit the period that it fetches search hits from.
Start by searching using "site:youtube.com ignentertainment" or simply "ignentertainment" and then click on the tools button, you now got a new bar between your search bar and the results that can limit time among other things.
Open the time related options and choose to input a specified period and your all done.
Edit: oh and the command site:youtube.com ignentertainment sure worked for me.

Google docs - automated List of tables

Is it possible to add captions to tables in Google docs?
I would like to be able to produce an automated list of tables.
For example something like this :
Any idea ?
The Caption Maker Add-on detects figures and tables in a Google Doc, puts numbered captions above or below them and creates lists of figures and tables that can even be updated as the document evolves.
The "Captionizer" Addon seems to be able to do this now, albeit without page numbering. The creator says there is no way to lookup the page number in a google doc to be able to add that feature.
Captionizer
As #Falko Menge suggested in the first response Caption Maker appears to be the best option. I went down for some time, but you can install it without problems.
Caption Maker is available here: https://workspace.google.com/marketplace/app/caption_maker/226603355104
It seems to be working just fine.
Cheers!

How can I debug the Modx "mxCalendar" extra?

I hope someone is here, who is familiar with the cms Modx.
I installed the extra "mxCalendar" and my button "Create New Calendar Item" is not working. I click on it and nothing happens.
Can you help me?
mxCalendar is not actively maintained anymore. Which MODX version are you using? mxCalendar does not work in MODX 2.3 and up, according to this list.
I suggest to use another calendar system like integrating Google Calendar or use regular resources and add some date/time tv's to work with dates. It really depends on how you want to use the calendar. Think about questions like:
Do I need (auto) recurring events?
Can an event occupy multiple days?
If both questions are anwsered with 'yes', than it could become technically very complex in my experience. The best way to go is embedding Google Calendar, or it's API.

Can I set up a TV in MODx to be dynamically gernerated by the user?

I have a website that has a video archive page. My client wants this page to archive all his youtube videos. I created a TV called [[*addVideo]]. My issue is this. I need to set it up to where he can add videos whenever there is a new one (about once a week). I would like to add a function that would allow him to "add a new video" and dynamiclly duplicate the TV that I have created. I really don't want to create 50 separate TVs (how many videos he has now) and then have to go in and create more TVs throughout time. Is there any way to do this? I really don't even know where to look for references on this, I have been searching for about a day or two now and can't find anything.
It's built in Revo 2.2.7, I need it in a TV becasue I have it set up to where all he has to do is copy and paste the embed code in the TV and that code gets put into a mobile responsive div, that's why I can't just have him add them to the content field. Any help at all on this would be greatly appreciated. I know there has to be something that I can do. Thank you in advance.
you should think of a custom manager page, where he can add entries (in this case videos)
You can use migxdb for that.

Google Search by Image API?

for my job, I'm looking into an idea in which people would use Google Search by Image and use any celebrity photo they find. Google would return the results and then on our end, a there'd be a database of professionals showing how to get that specific look.
I'm assuming this is extremely unlikely to do, based on that users could use ANY photo.
So, is there a way that I could have about 100 or so celebrity photos that Google Image results could compare to and then choose the one that is closest.
Basically:
Drag drop photo of Britney Spears
Google searches with that image
Google's results compare the top images with our 100, and selects the closest match.
User gets to see video of how to get Britney Spears look.
I'm not a programmer, but looking for some API or Search by Image extension that could make this remotely possible for the programmers here at my job. Does something like that (a search by image api) exist? The best I could find was just the support page, which is hardly of any help: http://support.google.com/images/bin/answer.py?hl=en&p=searchbyimagepage&answer=1325808
You can easily search by an existing image by inserting this into your address bar:
https://www.google.com/searchbyimage?site=search&sa=X&image_url=YOUR_IMAGE_URL
Example:
https://www.google.com/searchbyimage?site=search&sa=X&image_url=http://cdn.sstatic.net/Sites/stackoverflow/company/img/logos/so/so-icon.png
Sorry to say, but the Google image API is deprecated:
Important: The Google Image Search API has been officially deprecated as of May 26, 2011. It will continue to work as per our deprecation policy, but the number of requests you may make per day may be limited.
Quite sure there are some alternatives (http://www.tineye.com/ and http://mrisa.mage.me.uk)
Update (2013): There is now Google Custom Search which allows image searches.
These answers are quite obsolete, but the question comes up in searches. So, the Google Vision API has the "web detection" feature that does a reverse image search. First 1000 requests per month are free, $3.50/1000 afterwards.
I think Google Web Detection could be a solution for you. Google moved it permanently from Image search
You can do it via www.images.google.com but only from a browser (lets you upload your own image and compares it to similar).
I'm working on doing it from code (not from browser).
I had the same problem and came up with two solutions:
There are a number of APIs that give reverse image search results nowadays. The ones I used are https://reverseimageapi.com and TinEye.com.
As the selected answer mentions, you can easily scrape this information but will almost certainly need rotating proxies to prevent being banned by the search engine. There are plenty of proxy rotation services (Zyte, Oxylabs, ScrapingBee, etc.) to make you life easier.
I ended up going with option 1 due to the upkeep of scraping search engines and elements changing / breaking.
