I currently have a pretty default setup of the Calendar module and a custom content type as events that show up on this calendar. I was looking for a way that a user could navigate through the calendar, click on the event, and then create a back link that would take them back to the calendar they were on.

My calendar url is setup to be sometihng like:

http://domain.com/calendar/2009/03/all (basically YYY/mm/all-days).

In my template I then used the field_start_date (setup as part of my custom content) to construct the return url with a little help from php:

<p><a href="/board/calendar/<?php echo date( "Y", strtotime( $node->field_start_date[0]['value'] ) )?>/<?php echo date( "m", strtotime( $node->field_start_date[0]['value'] ) )?>/all">Return</a></p>

Anyway hope that helps someone ... I'd love to hear if there are better ways to do this.

Minor point, date can deal with more than one part at a time so

<?php echo date( "Y", strtotime( $node->field_start_date[0]['value'] ) )?>/<?php echo date( "m", strtotime( $node->field_start_date[0]['value'] ) )?>

can be simplified to

<?php echo date( "Y/m", strtotime( $node->field_start_date[0]['value'] ) )?>
