This is a very simple plugin (hack) that adds functionality to either mdp_calendar or zem_event. It simply creates a select form that will allow you to choose a month and year and automatically jump to the month.

I figure that if I needed it, maybe someone else will also. It’s my first plugin, so if I did something stupid or if there are any bugs, let me know (but be nice…). It’s so simple though, I can’t imagine that there are any huge problems…
