How to best show a class's registration open and close dates on a calendar?

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

Hi,

I'm building a site that allows people to announce various classes and events. Ideally I would like for people to be able to enter the dates that registration opens and closes for the class on the same node/add form they enter the rest of the event information, and then have something like "XYZ_Class registration opens" on the day registration opens and "XYZ_Class registration closes" on the day it closes, and have "XYZ_Class" listed on the day it happens.

Is there a module that does this, or does anyone have any thoughts how it might be done well? The best idea I've come up with so far is making each date a separate node, using nodereference to link it to event, but that seems like a kluge.

Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Ellen

and it works great, but it doesn't allow for listing the registration open and close dates on a calendar programatically, that I can see.

Thanks for the reply,

Couldn't you use what ever

Couldn't you use what ever type you have for listing things on the calendar and just make a taxonomy that is specifically for start of registration and end of registration dates? Views 2 lets you color code things so you could do it that way to get it onto the calendar.

It's an extra step in the setp up of each event but should do the trick visually that your looking for.
