The standard vBuleltin calendar is great for handling holidays that occur on the same time every year, whether it's a set date such as Christmas or Independence Day, or something that takes place on an nth Monday of the month like Memorial Day and Canadian Thanksgiving.

Certian holidays, though, flat around the calendar; most Jewish holidays (mostly falling on the same day every year in the Jewish lunisolar calendar, but not the Gregorian calendar), Ramadan (consistent with the Islamic lunar calendar), Easter, and so on. Is there a calendar hack to handle these holidays?

that's a good question - even if it would be solely informational, it might give the calendar an educational side
"hey, did u knew the jews have a holiday today?" etc.

I've been looking for such a hack myself. I can tip $50 for something like this if it's implemented well.

Bump. Looks like Easter and floating Christian holidays are now incorporated in the vBulletin calendar system, but not those of other faiths.

A bump, since vB 3.6 is coming up soon. Will this be part of the new version?

Something tells me this isn't gonna happen. I've love to see a Jewish Calendar plugin for vBulletin.
