I know some kind of full blown event calendar is in the works for EE, but it is likely a ways off in development.  I manage a print publication with an events calendar and would like to cross-post this to the website, hopefully in a searchable way and in a way that ties in with a mini-calendar and tabular output.  Input might be record-by-record, but it would be handy to be able to do a multi-record dump into the db (delimited file).  Output to a print file is also required.

Currently, I use a hacked up version of phpCommunityCalendar; however, development work on that project appears dead since 2002.  My staff enters their calendar data record-by-record, and I wrote a php script (not my forte) that spits out a print file with DTP tags.  It’s servicable and had the advantage of having a backend easy to deconstruct, but I would like greater flexibility.  Ultimately, I would like whatever solution we develop to synch up w/ EE.

I’m wondering if anyone can recommend a robust and flexible calendar product with both web and DTP capability.

You can create a weblog with custom fields and output it in a calendar format already in EE.  It isn’t a separate, dedicated “event calendar” module, but EE already has everything you need for a good event calendar.  The only thing it doesn’t have is support for repeating events; each event needs to be a separate entry in the weblog.

Timj, have a look at this one k5n web calendar.
It validates as XHTML and uses CSS so you could probably write a print.css file for it.
Just a thought
