   What do you mean by 'calendars'? Multiple instances of the low_events:calendar tag? Then yes, that should be possible, if you feed it the correct dates.

   Yes, multiple instances of the low_events:calendar tag. Can this be done dynamically, so you always have 6 months showing?

   You'll have to use PHP in your template to dynamically set the date to 6 months in the future, similar to this approach to the start_on parameter.

   Hi Low,
   
   First of all, thanks for this addon. I bought it a half hour ago and I already have a calendar up and running on the site I'm making. I've tackled this functionality before and it was always a messy business. You've made it easy.
   
   I have more or less the same request as Paul. I'd like to show three calendars: this month; next month and the following month on a single page on my site. I've included a screengrab from iCal by way of explanation as to what I'd like to achieve (if this month was May). Is this possible?
   
   thanks
   David

   Hi David. This should also be possible with a bit of PHP on Input. Something like this:
   
   

   <?php 
    $month1 = date('Y-m'); 
    $month2 = date('Y-m', strtotime('+ 1 month')); 
    $month3 = date('Y-m', strtotime('+ 2 months')); 
    ?>

   
   
   Then use this as opening tags for your 3 low_events:calendar tags:
   
   

   {exp:low_events:calendar date="<?=$month1?>"} 
    {exp:low_events:calendar date="<?=$month2?>"} 
    {exp:low_events:calendar date="<?=$month3?>"}

   Thanks Low! That worked a treat.
