   i installed "event calendar 3" and this plugin is very good. only thing i miss is to get events filtered by category (events are normal posts in this plugin). i have this in my template:

   <li>
               <h2>Events</h2>
   			<?php
   		    ec3_get_events(
   			31,                                      // limit
      			'<a href="%LINK%">%AUTHOR% %TITLE% (%TIME%)</a>',// template_event
      			'%DATE%:',                              // template_day
      			'j F'                                   // date_format
   			);
   			?>
               </li>

   the number "31" for example says that the events of the next 31 days are shown. the main-category for the events is "events", but i have more events like "music" or "film" they are sub-categories. all i want to do now is filter this out so that i am able to show only the events of the category "film" in a template. i found this:

   ec3_get_events(limit,"3,4"); (http://penguin.firetree.net/pipermail/eventcalendar/2007-October/002583.html) but it won't work … :-/

   any idea

   no. i have build my own event calendar function with the help of a tutorial. i tried 30 plugins but none of them gave me the ability to handle events for several categories.

   oh!

   is this anything you can share with me or point me to the tutorials? I am also looking to implement a calendar with multiple filters / categories.
