[EventCalendar] Wanting to edit calendar link

[Shelly at Foolish Visions]

I have a bit of customizing I'm trying to do with the Event Calendar. 
The site I'm working on is not your typical WP site, and although I 
think Even Calendar is about *perfect* for what they want to use it for, 
I'm having trouble with *one* bitty thing.

Basically the calendar will be used so people can view a newsletter. 
I've done some serious theme customization, and now (thanks to the Tags 
in 2.3) I can send people to a newsletter archive.  To do this, I'm 
using the tagging system WordPress provides, and it's working beautifully.

However, the Event Calendar links to dates/archives - not tags.  I've 
managed to hack it slightly so that it's now linking to the tag archive 
rather than the regular category archive.  However, I've only gotten the 
javascript to manage this (previous month/next month links).  If you're 
on a past month, it'll link to the right tag archive.  But if you're on 
the current month, the link doesn't work.

I know, it sounds a bit confusing.  I'll give you an example (it's not 
online right now, or I'd just *show* you)

The current month is November.  So the way EC3 is set up, you have:
  <Oct   November 2007   Dec>

"November 2007" being the current month, obviously.  I've fixed it (in 
the ec3.js file) so that, when you click on either Oct or Dec, it links 
to my tagged archive (ie, instead of "http://url/2007/10" ot now links 
to "http://url/tags/October-2007").  The old calendar that shows up 
(meaning, it now uses the AJAX function to say <Sept   October 2007 
Nov>") will also link to the right/edited URL.

However, when you're on the *current* month - for example, if I'm on the 
October page, and it's showing the November calendar, it'll show the 
regular link: ie, http://url/11/2007.  I've managed to hunt down the 
function I need to edit (function month_link() in date.php), but no 
matter what I do, I cannot get it to display "November" instead of "11". 
   When I try to set up an array to convert the month number to a month 
name, it'll display the current month page you're on, rather than the 
current month showing in the calendar.  (So if I'm on October's page, 
and November is displaying, the month links to October.)

I'm so sorry this sound confusing - but I was wondering if there was a 
way to change the $this->month_num to $this->month_name in the file. 
All attempts I've tried have failed.  I can see another function above 
the month_link() that refers to a month name (function month_name()), 
but I can't figure out how to put *that* value in the link rather than 
the number value.  In fact, from what I can tell, even if I could, it 
would still put in the number (because it looks like that function 
strips the name to a number value).

I'm probably overthinking this - but could someone tell me how I can do 
this?  I'd really appreciate it.
