Event Calendar Theme -- Usage Information

I was asked to make a web-based calendar program for a
school.  My first impression was that Wordpress, with
its excellent User controls and awesome flexibility
would be ideal for the task. First, however, it needed
a little customization.

I did all of this using Wordpress 1.5.2 and a plugin
called EventCalendar 3.0.2* (and a bit of hunting
around the web...).

Unfortunately, this also requires you to make a couple
modifications to the Wordpress files.  (If anyone out
there knows how this can be done with a plugin, please
contact me!)  What these changes do, specifically, is
to reverse the display order of entries, so they show
from oldest to newest (which is backwards compared to a
blog).

First, in classes.php, change line 467

from: 
	$q['order']='DESC';

to:
	$q['order']='ASC';

Then, in line 497...

change:
	$where .= " AND post_date_gmt <= '$now'";

to:
	$where .= " AND post_date_gmt >= '$now'";

Then (last one I promise...) open up the file
template-functions-general.php.  On line 300, at the
very end of the line...

change:
	ORDER BY post_date DESC" . $limit);

to:
	ORDER BY post_date ASC" . $limit);

(Note I'm only showing the very end of line 300, as
it's a very long line!)

That's it!  Oh, and I also recommend you use this
template or some variation thereof.  Of course feel
free to modify it and change the look.  :)

I hope it's useful to someone out there.  If you have
any comments or questions (though I really can't
provide tech support, sorry!) you can reach me through
