Event creation directly in Calendar

Posts and Event creation directly in the calendar view (with preselected start date based on the view)

I specifically selected the current system of creating an event from within a post so I wouldn't have to worry about creating posts myself. Adding this function is a very low priority. It may never happen at all.

Edit: this is because working about creating a post requires writing an entire UI that can create a post or topic and everything. It just wouldn't work well with the way I've decided to go about event creation.

Edit2: It may be possible to directly pull up the composer to edit the post from the calendar page. However, I don't think this is a good idea because it's probably better to keep the composer restricted to the topic / category pages. I'd therefore have to code a way to edit the event's code within the post. This is possible, however, it's a lower priority than fixing bugs, or adding recurring events.

After some discussion I've decided that adding events is a worthy feature. My plan is to implement it so it works this way:

1. Click the date on the day of the event
2. Popover with options comes up, click on option to add event
3. Opens the popup to create an event (same one as with the composer button) with the start date prefilled
4. Fill in the popup form, plus an extra category field for the topic destination
5. New topic is created with the event's title in that selected category, with the event as the post contents
6. After topic is created the user is redirected to the topic page
