Default a few PreSale questions

This script seems very promising, but I before I purchase it I need to know if a few things are possible:

* I need a calendar mostly to post events. And with these events I post large descriptions with pictures to illustrate everything. In the demo the list of current events just lists all events in a particular category with the full description and images. This is way too much. Would it be possible that listing of current events only shows the title of the event and show the description only when people click on the title?
* If so, will the eventdescription be opened in a popup (like it works with the small calendar) or also integrated in the page where the eventscalendar is shown?
* Can I create links that forward people to a page with only the events from the current week/month of a particular category?

I have attached two images. One is like the demo shows it (with my problem illustrated). The second one is how I'd like to have it

You can modify the listings module to only show what information you need it to. Just look at the Event Manager and the list there. It only shows one line of the description.

There is currently no code to allow pop-ups from the listings module (hasn't been requested before).

I do have plans for a "blog mode" that will do something very similar to what you need. It should be in the next point release.

Thank you for your quick reply

So in short: I can edit the way the items are listed, but with limiting it to the title only, people cannot access the full description of the event (yet)?

And is it possible to link people directly to the events list of this months from a particular category?

Correct

The calendars and events listing module can be filtered by category using the $showCat variable (as described in the instructions.htm file).

I'd like to use this script as a function and the option given in the instuctions to filter categories is commandline.

Is there a way to filter categories like http://www.easyphpcalendar.com/v6demo.php?cat=2 (show only events from category 2)?

Yes, that is all you'd need to do.
