    Hi everyone,

    I’ve got a pretty unique requirement for an upcoming project. We need to display a month-view event calendar (which I see we can do with the Calendar tag). In each day, however, instead of showing links to specific entries, we want to show how many events are in each category. Here’s an example of what would be in one of the day boxes:

    2 Sporting Events
    1 Concert
    5 Special Events

    “Sporting Events”, “Concert”, and “Special Events” will all be categories for the entries. Can anyone help me figure out how I could output this data properly?

    Thanks in advance for your time/efforts!

    Hi, Shawn. This would make a great topic for the CodeShare Corner. Moving for additional community support.

    Guess there’s no way to do this :(. May have to use the Solspace Calendar module instead which only works with EE 1.6. How unfortunate..
