Having trouble with Calendar Module

Hi. I downloaded your calendar module thru svn, and I'm hoping to implement it in my website. After i copied and pasted its contents to my website's folder, I am not able to see the new calendar page types on the database after I type db/build/?flush=1. So I figured out I have to change the base class of Calendar.php (ViewableData) to Page:

'class Calendar extends Page {'.

After that, when I db/build/?flush=1, I already saw the calendar pages in the database but I'm having some trouble now with accessing the CMS due to some errors probably in the php files I modified. So should I change the extensions back to ViewableData or should I keep it to extending Page? If so, where can I get/download ViewableData object, because I can't seem to find it in the database? Do I have to create a new ContentController for Calendar, or is it already not necessary?

Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.

Hey Willr. Yep i've gone through those docs. I'm still at just trying to install the files. The db won't recognise the module unless i change 'class Calendar extends ViewableData {' to 'class Calendar extends Page {' When that installs, then the admin doesn't work.

Not sure what to do next. Do you have any other ideas?

Thanks again.
