hmmm... this is kind of tricky and not something that has been built into the
code yet. there should be a fairly simple hack to get around it. perhaps not
though. I don't remember what the differences are between the last released
version and CVS are. anyway, you should have a calendar called like group1
and one called like group2, right? so you want to show items in both. you
could maybe create a new config variable called PHPC_VISIBLE_CALENDARS or
something and have it contain a list of calenders that should be searched.
then in the functions that return events (they should be in calendar.php, I
think), rather than only returning events that match the calendar name (it
might be an ID #), return events that match any of the calendars in the
PHPC_VISIBLE_CALENDARS. this should be rather trivial. hopefully my code is
thought out well enough to handle this. if you get it working, let me know
and I'll merge the patch for you.
good luck,
Sean
