Calendar Publisher

While most web calendar software will allow you to publish a calendar, many times it is a static HTML representation. Thyme's Calendar Publisher can create dynamic calendars. This allows for real-time updates and easy navigation.

Maintaining a consistent look throughout your site is essential. The Calendar Publisher will also help you design a look and feel that integrates seamlessly into your site. You can customize images and header text. With the Style editor, you are also provided with a "point-and-click" interface to changing a calendar's look.

** Requires PHP compiled with curl support
*** Requires access to an outgoing e-mail server or local mail tool such as sendmail or blat. Some notifications als o require the addition of jobs to a command scheduler such as cron or Windows Task Scheduler and the standalone PHP interpreter.
