I think I'm coming to the Easy PHP Calendar from a different angle than most and I'd like to know a couple of things before I buy. I must say that it looks far better in terms of features, functionality and design than anything else I've come across yet.
Basically, my work takes me to different offices and computers. The same way I need to access my email at these different sites, I need to access my calendar. At the moment I use SquirrelMail's calendar plugin, bit it's limited and ugly. I'm therefore looking for a web-accessible calendar to run my life with.
Your product looks like it does most things but it seems to be angled to blog use or events listing sections of public sites. I'd like to know,
1. Can I display the Text-on-calendar mode calendar on the events administration pages? I don't need to use any other pages or add the calendar to a different PHP page. I just want to see the calendar, edit and add events. I.e. I only really need the back-end.
It's be good to have the current month's Text-on-calendar version above or below the three standard small calendars. That would be more useful than the flat list of events appearing below the the three standard small calendars in the standard configuration.
2. Can the system send email notifications? It's be great if I could set up a cron job to poll for events and have the calendar send me an email to notify me.
3. Going even further, itd be even lovlier to access events from the easy PHP calendar db and suck them into iCal say, or another desktop calendar client. Any ideas about the possibility of this?
Thanks for your answers in advance,
Mark.
