[geeklog-devtalk] Making the Calendar A Plugin

Howdy,

I opened feature request #364 a few weeks ago because I would like to 
turn the Geeklog calendar into a plugin. In addition to causing 
everyone headache's during the transition (joke!!!), I wanted to do 
this so that calendar could be easily disabled by sites that don't need 
it, or replaced with a different calendar plugin (which is what I want 
to work on next).

I have made significant progress on this and I have set up a public 
test site where the "plugged-in" calendar can be seen in action along 
side the most recent CVS version of geeklog (which still has the 
"built-in" calendar). The test site is:

     http://demo.fbcrsingles.org

Please drop by and have a look. I would really like to get this into 
the official Geeklog distribution (along with removing the core 
calendar).

Because the site has both the built-in and plugged-in calendars, there 
are two "Upcoming Events" blocks, two "My calendar" links in the User 
menu, two "Events" links in the admin menu, etc. In theory the only 
differences should be the URLs of the pages and the fact that the 
plugin calendar can be removed by disabling or uninstalling its plugin; 
any functional differences are probably bugs that need to be addressed, 
so please mention them.

Thanks,
- -Michael Askew
