is there a way to disable table and day calendar views in events module?

I did this by setting the default display type to be the way I wanted it in the Event settings, I think I picked table view. Then I went into the event template files and deleted the code that displayed the different layout options. This doesn't 'fix' your problem but it does mostly prevent visitors from clicking a layout type that breaks your theme. If you want to see an example file then just email me through my contact form.

You need to kick out that stuff from event.theme:

function theme_event_links($links, $view) {
  return theme('links', $links);
}
