 * I need to create a page with an event calendar on it.
 * I have created file.php in my themes directory. I have also edited my themes 
   header.php to include a link (in the page list) to this new file.php. I have 
   typed
 * < ? php function_call() ? >
 * in the file.php.
 * When I click on the link to open this page, I just get an empry page with error
   messages complaining about “undefined functions”.
 * How do I make the functions to work?

 * Download one of the events calendar plugins and see how they do it.

 * You can use something like my CG-QuickPHP if you want to create a WP Page that
   calls a single PHP function — it’s good for that (minimalist).
 * Also read up on using custom templates, if you want more functional, customized
   php code for a given page.

 * Thanks.
 * I somehow missed the instructions to choose the page template in the create page
   dialog.
 * Once I understood that I don’t need to edit the header.php or anything, but just
   create a template php-file in the theme directory and choose the template in 
   the editor, the problem was solved.
