Hi Barry,
That is kindof sad :(. I commented on this thread: http://tribe.uservoice.com/forums/195723-feature-ideas/suggestions/3735284-ability-to-pull-calendar-to-page-with-shortcodes. There a sweet third-party plugin, “Event Rocket”, mentioned in that thread that handles all except the display of the full calendar which is what I happen to need. It seems like such an obvious core feature that should be available. If MT doesn’t want to build it in, you should at least provide some idea of how one would go about loading the dependencies to make that work. Unless I’m missing something, it was really hard to find any information on that in the documentation.
