I don't know what the difference between the persian and gregorian calendars are, but you should be able to use setlocale() for date and time formatting.

There's a sample controller in multi_calendar.zip:

Code:

class Blog extends Controller {

       function Blog()
       {
            parent::Controller();
       }
      
       function test() {
         $config=array("base_calendar"=>"persian");
        
         $this->load->library('Calendar',$config);
         echo $this->calendar->generate();
       }
}

For some reason it was written to replace the core calendar library rather than extend it, so you would have to put these in ./system/libraries
