Possible to run multiple calendars?

[floyd]

I have a site http://www.indianaauditions.com

The site is run by Yabb Gold 1.7 and I have it set up to run multiple calendars.
It's a site for theater auditions and shows.

As you have probably figured out, one calendar is for the audition dates... and the other show dates.

I really want to keep these seperate but can not figure out how I might be able to accomplish this with SMF.

I am REALLY open to suggestions and have not seen this addressed anywhere else.

Thanks in advance for your quick response.

I'm not sure how much work would be involved with coding this, but here's how I would go about doing it:

Create a new table called "calendars" in the database with at least two columns - ID_CALENDAR (typical auto-incrementing ID column) and name (a tinytext column where you can specify the name of a particular calendar).

Then, just add the ID_CALENDAR column to the calendar_events and calendar_holidays tables, and modify the existing calendar features to allow you to select which calendar you want to post the event on.

The only problem is... I am not a coder!!

I can get things up and running... but to code it myelf... I might as well be reading Japanese.

I am thinking about migrating off to VBulletin.

I don't want to but might have to do it out of necessity.

I can handle the coding, but you still wouldn't get quite the same thing as what you've got now - you'd have to link events to posts instead of having them displayed seperately (but you could still search them by keeping them in their own board(s)).

There's also the possibility of using a third-party calendar script like WebCalendar and integrating the user profiles. I haven't actually looked at this script long enough to know how easy it would be, but I don't think it would be that difficult to do. It would also give you a lot more features than what you get in a standard forum calendar.

Let me know if either of these options appeals to you.
