2 Calendars on a site

I’m playing with this right now as well – haven’t found a plugin yet that will allow two instances. even tried making a copy and changing the files but still no joy. i think i will have to use two different plugins to achieve this unless someone else has any ideas?

I thought it could be as simple as duplicating the plugin in another folder (i.e. calendar2) and then changing some of the variables in the
calendar.php page…. I haven’t tried it yet, as I have a ton of other problems with my site now.

Not sure if it will work…

LINE 28

// Enable internationalisation
$plugin_dir = basename(dirname(__FILE__));
load_plugin_textdomain( 'calendar2','wp-content/plugins/'.$plugin_dir, $plugin_dir);

// Define the tables used in Calendar
global $wpdb;
define('WP_CALENDAR_TABLE', $wpdb->prefix . 'calendar2');
define('WP_CALENDAR_CONFIG_TABLE', $wpdb->prefix . 'calendar2_config');
define('WP_CALENDAR_CATEGORIES_TABLE', $wpdb->prefix . 'calendar2_categories');

LINE 117

if (function_exists('add_menu_page'))
     {
       add_menu_page(__('Calendar2','calendar'), __('Calendar2','calendar'), $allowed_group, 'calendar', 'edit_calendar');
     }

Hi,

the way I solved it for our site is to make use of the calendar categories.

You can have a calendar show only one category like this:

{CALENDAR;2}

Then, only events of category 2 will display in the calendar.

Note, that you cannot have two calendars on the same page/post in wordpress, each showing two different categories. The reason for this is that the plugin makes a global search/replace on the page, replacing the tag {CALENDAR;2} with the actual calendar HTML. I made a fix for this, allowing you to have more than one calendar on the same page, each with its own category.

The code for that is on Kieran’s forum.

Hope this helps!

Marking the above solution as correct. Thanks rfroberg ??
