I am working on a site where the calendar will be very important, the calendar works fine but I have some questions...
How can I create a toplist of the five events that are closest to todays date? I have tried this but cannot get it to work, it always shows events that have already gone by.
Is there a variable to show todays date and time?
How can I create a direct like to todays calendar date. A link that updates to todays date automatically.
How would I rewrite the URLs of calendar dates so that they have this (or a similar) format... calendar-{DAYID}-{MONTHID}-{YEARID}

The events starting soonest? Use the toplist condition
starttime > {TIME}and order by starting time ascending.Today's date and time requires a PHP call:
Today's date and time is <?php echo showdate("%B %d, %y - %l:%M %P", time()); ?>.(Formatting comes from http://www.php.net/strftime )To link to today's daily calendar event list page, this is a little messy looking but you can use
<a href="calendar.php?dayID=<?php echo showdate("%d", time()); ?>&monthID=<?php echo showdate("%m", time()); ?>&yearID=<?php echo showdate("%Y", time()); ?>">Today's events</a>Calendar URL rewriting would require custom PHP work, estimate 2-4 hours ($100-$200).
