I'm looking for some recommendations on good Web Calendar and Forum applications.
I've used WebCal and phpBB as a stand-alone on a single site so my experience is limited.
A client wants an admin area where they only have to login once and it gives them admin control over the calendar, forums, etc. In this situation, we would be using the default administration section that came with the program, but would skip the login portion (stored as sessions or other alternative).
In the software you may recommend this doesn't have to come by default, but should be as non-time consuming as possible, if I have to change the code by hand.
What I need in a Web Calendar and Forum:
* Free/OpenSource is great, but I'm willing to pay for what I need
* Way to login through one main login screen
* Easy-to-use admin section
* Coded in PHP
* It can be a Dreamweaver (CS3) Extension
Any suggestions or past experiences you have to offer would be great. Thanks!

"If the former, that's going to be hard to accomplish because there aren't a lot of Calendar / Forum combos that would give you the single sign in."
I was afraid of that. They don't have to be combined together though, they can be from different developers, but I'm afraid that doesn't change my results.
Anyone have suggestions of a forum that is good to work with and flexible with custom code changes?

Hi kentcommunications,
Is this going to be shoehorned into an existing site or are you developing a new site now?
If the former, that's going to be hard to accomplish because there aren't a lot of Calendar / Forum combos that would give you the single sign in.
If the latter, you are probably looking at developing the site with Joomla or WordPress or similar CMS and taking advantage of those features.
