Calendar Systems

Advances Drupal's already awesome localization support one more big step ahead! by Adding support for different calendar systems like Iranian , Jalali , Hijir , Hebew etc. This support is currently limited to display and data entry for date fields and the back-end date is always Gregorian (Timestamp).
Iranian (jalali) and Gregorian (Using PHP's built-in) calendar are the the only supported calendar systems right now, but support for more calendar systems is under development.

Project's Status ? and important information

Notice : ALPHA & BETA releases are unstable and are only for test and demonstration purposes , however since i'm using this module myself they're usually usable and you can use it on production website, but please test it properly on your development machine first, don't blame me if anything went wrong :) .
Notice : Currently i only have one site with Drupal 5 which does need this module so there will be no more Drupal 5 release, except for small bug fixes. . But if you want Drupal 5's version please open a new issue and if enough users join it i'll back-port new features back to Drupal 5's version.

UPDATE 2009/Sep/27 I'm preparing new release which fixes some bugs and introduces an admin interface to prevent users confusion. back-end lib is still under development.

UPDATE 2009/Sep/1 I'm re-factoring the back-end lib to add more calendar systems , once it's finished several new features will be added to this module.
