- Creates calendar displays of Views results.
- Create a new calendar by using the calendar template for the desired
- date field. See a link to create a view from a template at the top
- of the Views listing page.
- If the Calendar iCal module is enabled, an iCal feed can be
- attached to the view.
- For a quick and easy start, install the Date Tools module, then use
- the Date Tools Wizard to create a content type with a date field
- and a calendar that displays that field, all in a single step!

- CACHING & PERFORMANCE
- =========================================================
- Calendars are very time-consuming to process, so caching is recommended.
- You can set up caching options for your calendar in the Advanced section
- of the View settings. Even setting a lifetime of 1 hour will provide some
- benefits if you can live with a calendar that is 1 hour out of date.
- Set the lifetime to the longest value possible. You will need to clear
- the caches manually or using custom code if the content of the calendar
- changes before the cache lifetime expires.
- The recommended settings for time-based caching are:
- - Query results
- Cache the query only when not using ajax. Do not cache the query
- on any display that uses ajax for its results.
- - Rendered output:
- Always try to cache rendered output. Rendering the output is the most
- time-consuming part of building a calendar. This is especially
- important for the Year view, less important for the Day view.
- As with all caching options, please test to be sure that caching
- is working as desired.
- If performance is a problem, or you have a lot of items in the calendar,
- you may want to remove the Year view completely.
