calendar

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.

We are looking for the best approach to displaying calendar items in our school district site.

Currently we have a calendar view which displays the calendar with all calendar items included (from about 28 calendars included in all). Our content type is a Calendar Item which has a related taxonomy for the calendar category (a required single level taxonomy category only used for Calendar items)
