[Radiant] Displaying a month calendar "grid" and using non-ical events?

[Loren Johnson]

Shawn,

I have never tried to make a grid using my EventCalendar extension. I  
do think it's possible but might not be a lot of fun figuring out how  
and could necessitate adding one or two month grid display oriented  
tags (total days in month, etc). If I were you I'd tackle it as a new  
extension. I do plan on adding direct event entry to the extension in  
the near future,  but whatever helpers you need to get the month grid  
and navigation controls it implies to work are things which you'd  
still have to add.

The extension was originally built for this page: http:// 
www.diopa.org/calendars/master/all/month

The extension can be found here: http://svn.fn-group.com/ 
radiant_extensions/event_calendar

Good luck,

Loren
