I am helping out the local Student Union Board on campus this year and am updating their website. SUB puts on all sorts of events, weekly movie nights, etc and in the past the main page has always said something like "This week is SUB." But, this was always manually updated via simple html, and the "monthly" calendar was separate from it. In redoing the site, I'm looking for something that can display the upcoming events easily on the main page, but also have a full calendar so that students can see months in advance if they really want to. Front page would say

Today:
Event name and info
Event description

Coming soon
Event 2 info (no desc)
Event 3 info (no desc)
Event 4 info (no desc)

So far, I think that WebCalendar would be great, but it requires a mysql database, and I don't think that the school's web system allows that (I'm looking into that), so it might need to be a flat-text database. The school does have php support it would seem, so that's a start.

Basically, I am looking for a flat-text database based calendar that either has a side piece for a smaller events notification or is simple enough to figure out that I could make up the code for the front page easily enough.

Maybe this is too complicated for such a small task, but I really don't like the idea of updating the page every day on my own, having it nice and dynamic would be great.

Thanks in advance...

You're posting this in a mac forum, so i'll assume you're using a mac.

http://phpicalendar.sourceforge.net/nuke/

is a php ical parser, it will show day, month and year views from an ical file. To update it, you update ical and then re-upload the file.

ahhhhh CRAP.

It looks like school doesn't even have PHP working on the sites, I sent in asking for permission, we'll see what happens. Until then, the site's gonna be in stasis, I guess, and all manually updated. keep the suggestions coming though...
