Topic: Multiple EE Calendars on one page?

I am total EE noob and I was following along with Boyink's amazing tutorial over on http://www.train-ee.com/ but I have run into a small problem. The calendar in boyink's tutorial uses only one large calendar then you cycle back and forth from month to month. On the website I am working on they want two calendars side by side, the current month and the next month. Does anyone know if this is a possibility?

Thanks for your help - Zane

Re: Multiple EE Calendars on one page?

That shouldn't be a problem. You can have multiple instances of the {exp:weblog:calendar} tag on the same template and you can use the "start_on" parameter to determine which month/year combo is displayed on which calendar.

I feel a nostalgia for an age yet to come...

Re: Multiple EE Calendars on one page?

Thanks for the quick reply Opus. I am not sure I totally understand, according to the EE doc page you linked to if I want to set the date dynamically I have to use php, am I reading that correctly or is there another way to use the start_on parameter to set the calendar to the next month?

I think I understand if it was static it would just be something like this:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="{my_weblog}" sort="desc" start_on="start_on="2009-12-01 1:00" show_future_entries="yes"}

I just don't understand how to use that parameter dynamically.
