(apologies if this has been discussed before...I couldn't find anything on this specific situation)

I am working on a Drupal site (4.7.4) for an organization that wants a separate calendar for each of its divisions. Is it possible to have multiple calendars installed, and to view a different calendar depending on which page you're on? Also, the site will be viewed by non-authenticated users, so the viewing can't be based on roles, although it would be nice if editing the different calendars could be restricted by role.

Has anyone tried this before, or is there a known solution that I just can't find? Thanks for the help.

If you create categories - each category is then it's own calendar item. Under 4.7, the little calendar picture block, however, only displays all. But otherwise, you can create various categories and then have a link to each category to display the calendar items in a "filter".

yup, that's what we do on a site i run (www.ypfp.org). the calendar block lists all events, but the upcoming events block notes the flexinode type for each event.

you can also list events from an individual category with code like the following (from a 4.6 install, but it should work on other versions too):

/**
 * Display events page
 */
function mideast_events_page(){
$taxo_id = "58"; 
$list_length = 5;
$sql = "SELECT * FROM {node} INNER JOIN {term_node} ON {node}.nid = {term_node}.nid WHERE {term_node}.tid in ($taxo_id) ORDER BY {node}.created DESC LIMIT $list_length";
$result = db_query($sql);
while ($anode = db_fetch_object($result)) {
// $output .= theme('node', $anode, $teaser = FALSE, $page = FALSE);
  $content .= node_view(node_load(array('nid' => $anode->nid)), 1);
  }
  print theme('page', $content);
}

you could probably do the same thing w/ cck (content creation kit) and views w/o getting your hands dirty with the coding :)
