How to delete several calendar events ?

Hello,

I need to delete several calendar events when deleting an activity in a course.

I got IDs of the event in an array, but I don't know if I need to use the calendar API t o delete them  with somethin like:

foreach ($events as $eventid) {

$event = \calendar_event::load($eventid);
$event->delete();

}

Or if I can do something like:

$DB->delete_records_list('event', 'id', array_keys($events));

Please can you tell what's the best way?

Hi Ludo,

// Remove old calendar events.
if (!$DB->delete_records('event', array('modulename' => 'YOURMODULENAME', 'instance' => $YOURMODULENAME->id))) {
     $result = false;
}

Hope it's work help.

Dominique.

Moodle will automatically delete events that meet those criteria for you smile

If they were not created with modulename and instance parameters set as Moodle expects you probably want to follow the example as it will ensure that events are fired for the event deletions.
