[SOLVED][CALENDAR] Data from two tables

Hi there, I'm facing the following problem:

-I have two tables with events.
->One contains the regular, standard events such as birthdays and holidays.: id_event, start_date, end_date, title, ...
->The other one contains a list with summer camps: id_camp, start_date, end_date, title ...

I want them both to show up at the calendar.

Is there any (easy) way to achieve this? Basic data, such as start and end date are in the same format. I just need to join those tables somehow. However, I don't want to put the summer camps into the standard event list. I need them seperated.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance.  :)

short answer... NO. There is no easy way to do this.

You would have to write your own code -- and re-write the calendar code, fairly significantly, I would think...

I found a workaround for my problem. I will mark this thread as solved.

I am glad you found a solution. Care to share in case anyone else needs to do something similar?

It's not a perfect solution, but it does the job.
I added another column in the smf_event table, indicating the type of an event with an integer.
Then I modified Subs_Calendar.php and made the system do a check for that integer before extracting the data it needs.
The integer refers to the table we want to extract data from. :)
