I realize this post is nearly two years old now, but if your friend (or anyone else) is in need of an event calendar you could have them take a look at Helios Calendar http://www.helioscalendar.com

You might want to take a look at The Calendar Planner. It was developed for Film and TV but has some pretty cool features like multi level folder organization, filtering, event linking (move one and related events move), associate files with events, may be worth a look.

Nice to see that Trumba Calendar was suggested even a year ago!

I am looking for something similar. This ActiveCalendar looks promising:

http://www.micronetwork.de/activecalendar/

It has optional AdoDB integration, and seems to be pretty customizable. Plus it is released under the LGPL, so you can package it with your stuff.

Easy php calendar seemed nice too, but the license seems too restrictive.

If Javascript is not a problem, then check out:

You could fill in the events via PHP… and customize the look and feel via CSS. It is pretty slick.

I use WebCalendar (http://www.k5n.us/webcalendar.php) for my sites. It meets all your requirements except possibly floating yearly events (does floating monthly with exceptions so you may be able to set it up). Supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, DB2, Interbase, MS SQL Server or anything that works with PHP unified ODBC (http://us4.php.net/manual/en/ref.uodbc.php).

I’ve just rolled out thunderbird with the sunbird calendar extension. Have most users subscribed to 4 remote calendars which are all vCalendar (ical) files. Should be accessible by plenty of existing programs.

Thanks for the rapid recommendations. To answer a few questions: No, it doesnâ€™t have to be PHP. There just seems to be more PHP Calendar code available than anything else. Of course, I could be just looking in the wrong places. The need for the calendar to work with other databases and flat files is secondary to the recurring and floating dates for events features. If it only works with one db, then so be it.

Also of importance is the ability to display the calendar in daily, weekly, monthly, yearly and category (for geographic sorts) views. During certain times of the year, the number of events on a given weekend could run into the double digits making for a very crowded view without the sorting ability.

I’ll take a look at csCalendar and Airset, as well as the other products mentioned in the feedback above. I have looked at Trumba already and it’s a very good product. The VT Calendar looks promising.

I have also looked at EasyPHPCalendar (http://www.easyphpcalendar.com/) , BosDates (http://www.bosdev.com/bosdates/) and TotalCalendar (http://www.sweetphp.com/nuke/modules.php?name=Script_Preview&script=12). If anyone has any thoughts on those products, please let me know.

Thanks again.
