I don't know if the full-page calendar has been integrated into the  
regular trunk yet. If it has, here is how I do it:

There is a horrible, horrible plugin out there, called "Inline PHP",  
and another called "Exec-PHP" that people say you need to run these in  
pages.

DON'T DO IT! These plugins are like mooning a mad bull! They let  
anyone with posting privileges (or anyone that can figure out how to  
hack them) to execute raw PHP in your blog! You might as well save  
yourself the trouble and post your root password.

Do this instead:

I made these mods to my theme's "functions.php" file:

---

add_filter ('the_content','check_for_big_calendar',20);	// Intercepts  
page and post content.

// Add the text "<!-- BIG_ASS_CALENDAR -->" using the code view on any  
page. It will be replaced by the calendar.

function check_for_big_calendar ( $in_thecontent )
{
	if ( preg_match ( "/<!-- BIG_ASS_CALENDAR -->/", $in_thecontent ) )
		{
		ob_start();
		ec3_get_calendar ( '', 1 );
		$calendar = ob_get_contents();
		ob_end_clean();
		$in_thecontent = preg_replace ( "/(<p[^>]*>)<!-- BIG_ASS_CALENDAR -- 
 >(<\/p[^>]*>)/", $calendar, $in_thecontent );
		}
	return $in_thecontent;
}
