The CSS is adapted from Mini Calendar

Display the calendar by placing the widget in a sidebar, where you can select the month and year, or directly in a template using:

<?php $jlv_cpt_calendar->printcalendar(12,2013); ?>

where 12 is the month and 2013 is the year

For anyone still looking for a soluion, i have created a calendar plugin that works with custom post type and uses ACF custom_date to display the articles. If you need it, email me at : vivi@spraystudio.ro, and i can give it to you.

Right now i am trying to clean it a bit, and will be uploading it to wordpress repository asap.
