(2) sounds to be to complicated for me.

So I'll try (1).
There is the problem that findEventsWithin finally ends at 
findAllWithin(...) in class.tx_cal_event_service.php which uses 
$this->conf['category'] to put a where with the categories in the db-select.

Questions:
A.) So I have to set $this->conf['category'] to the correct values 
before calling findEventsWithin(...) right?


B.)But the values for $this->conf['category'] should be in the second 
call only the categories not used before. (less memory usages cause I 
already have the other events)
So my question: How can I get all categories that exist? (then I can 
compare the two lists (existing without used categories = needed cat.)

C.)  Maybe you haven't seen this question: If I want to use my module in 
the month template and in the year view template, how can I find out 
which template/view is calling my module?


Thanks for answering every day :-)
