Brilliant. This saved me an enormous amount of time. Thank you SO much for offering this to the community.

Here’s something that I didn’t notice explicitly mentioned in the documentation, but may be of help to some users:

When querying classes, mindbody will return only today’s classes by default unless you provide a start and end date. It may not be immediately obvious how to do this. This is what I did (not sure if the formatting will stick once comment is posted):


 getMessage();

		exit(1);

		}

	try {

		$enddate = new DateTime('2013-01-01');

		} catch (Exception $e) {

		echo $e->getMessage();

		exit(1);

		}
	$startdateformat = $startdate->format('Y-m-d');

	$enddateformat = $enddate->format('Y-m-d');
    $service = new Class_Service();
    $parameters = new GetClasses();

    $parameters->Request = new GetClassesRequest();
    $parameters->Request->SourceCredentials = new SourceCredentials();

    $parameters->Request->SourceCredentials->SourceName = "SourceName";

    $parameters->Request->SourceCredentials->Password = "Password";

    $parameters->Request->SourceCredentials->SiteIDs = array(

        numerical site id

       );

// This is how to set parameters for the request that are available via the API:

    $parameters->Request->StartDateTime = $startdateformat;

    $parameters->Request->EndDateTime = $enddateformat;
    $classes = $service->GetClasses($parameters);
    var_dump($classes);
 ?>

Justin:

I would like to explore hiring your company to build the custom solution.

That said – i have a VERY simple code base and needs.

from an existing dreamhost account (i’ll set up)…

1. show all courses offered at a specific location
(api credentials and location id hard coded)

2. click on a course to see list of offered dates from (now-5days to now+5 days)

3. Click on a course date to see list of members signed up for that class (with member email info, fname, lname, gender, DOB)

Would this be a project that i could retain your business to put together? It seems as though this would be a fairly short project (10 hours?) total. Please advise.

Hi Bill,

Sorry, I did a whois on your domain and saw it was registered with GoDaddy, so I made an assumption. ;)

Dreamhost is probably a fair bit more expensive and GoDaddy or hostmysite in terms of entry costs, but they essentially offer unlimited everything on shared hosting, very few restrictions on what you can host, and the settings are almost completely open. You can even run your own copy of PHP, so you *can* have complete control over your web server.

I use them because I host a lot of little projects, and often host clients’ development sites for my own work. They’re very good.

If you just need to test your code, you can also set up a webserver locally without much fuss, or you can roll a simple Ubuntu Server virtual machine in VirtualBox.

I should mention that, while my employer’s plans for developing packaged Mindbody solutions are future tense, if you have the budget to hire us on a project exclusively, we’re likely to take it (and so, you’ll get my expertise :) ).

Justin:

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I actually use hostmysite.com (i’ve used godaddy and found them terrible from a dev standpoint).

i’ll try creating a dreamhost account and then testing the code to see how far i can get…

Hi Bill,

The things you mention wanting to do are fairly simple indeed. However, one fundamental requirement for the server environment is that it be able to access remote HTTP resources, as that is how the MBO API is served.

I realize that allow_url_fopen is often disabled on shared hosting environments such as those provided by GoDaddy. Because my MBO API library utilizes the SOAP extension in PHP, there is no way to override that requirement, that I’m aware of.

I’ve reviewed the source for the SOAP extension, and because it itself checks whether allow_url_fopen is enabled, there is no work-around.

My suggestion would be to contact GoDaddy support and see whether they can enable that setting for your account. They may require an upgrade to your account, as GoDaddy is pretty bad. It’s my suggestion that you go with someone better, such as Dreamhost, if you wish to provide shared hosting to clients.

As for hiring me, I’m currently fairly busy with a new job with Media Devils Inc., so hiring me directly is not feasible. However, I’ve made my employer aware of the demand for custom solutions in the area of Mindbody integration, and with us being a boutique software company, we may seek to take such projects in the future.

michael:

i’m hoping to do similar actions with the MBO api – is there a place I could find your sample code and/or are you available for hire to create a basic collection of php pages that call MBO data?

hi – i’m trying to create what I thought would be a simple set of php pages:

1. show all courses offered at a specific location
2. click on a course to see list of offered dates from (now-5days to now+5 days)
3. Click on a course date to see list of members signed up for that class (with member email info, fname, lname, gender, DOB)

I’ve been through documentation and found the respository but sadly can’t use pear installer or set up allow_url_fopen to be enabled (which means I don’t think i can use sample code/classes?)

What do you think about my hiring you to create the basic framework for above so i can then iterate from there?

Thanks!

Were you able to book a class using FinderCheckoutShoppingCart method in Finder Service?
Is MBFClassID same as MINDBODYID column of tblAggregateClasses table?

Hi Justin, Very interested in getting MBO integrated into our company website, Appointment Scheduler as a priority. Please contact me if you’d be interested in some dev work. Thanks.

Hello,

I am looking for a web developer to create a custom reporting tool for mindbody. My employer wants to be able to get certain informaion which is not available in the standard reports baked into Mindbody.

Our goal Is to create a tool which will give us the access to a broader set of data than what we can get now using the standard reports.

Please send me an email and let me know if this is something you would be capable and interested in helping us with.

Thank you
