There have been some discussions on these particular topics of events and calendar and unfortunately there is no such functionality.

If you do a search on calendar or events - you'll find some stuff

one idea would be to create two blogs: one announcements and one calendar

announcements would be like your blog where you tell people what's coming... and the calendar blog would actually have the events with the future dates. and could have a skin with the mini-calendar on the sidebar...

this however wouldn't give you the auto-delete or expiration - though you can tweak b2evo to only show a # of posts/items.

Hope this helps...

Thank you Edgar. Interesting suggestion!

one more thought: b2evo doesn't display future posts so the calendar section would show current or past events (out of the box)... unless you hack it to show the future events --- not sure how you'd do that. I'm sure others could help out.

a_stub.php

# Here you can set a limit before which posts will be ignored
# You can use a unix timestamp value or 'now' which will hide all posts in the past
$timestamp_min = '';

# Here you can set a limit after which posts will be ignored
# You can use a unix timestamp value or 'now' which will hide all posts in the future
$timestamp_max = 'now';
