I followed the Step By Step Setup of Calendar View, and it worked very well. Thanks for such good documentation. I would like to have a calendar where I can support repeating events, like something that happens every Thursday at 7:30 between September and May. Can this be done with the Calendar View and the Event Content Type? Do I need to create a new type of date event? (As you can tell, I am new to Drupal and trying to find my way around.)

you want the good news or the bad news first ?

bad - no you can't do this at the moment and the implementation of it is a bit tricky :(

good - Karen is working on this (as well as everything else!) which means it should be very cool when it arrives :)

There's a (very difficult to follow) discussion about this at http://drupal.org/node/87600. However, from what I understand of it, it might be a good idea to begin a thread for it here under Calendar Module or over at Date Module issues queue ?

If you cannot wait, you could instead use the Event and Event Repeat Modules. That would mean scrapping what you've already done with CCK, Date and Calendar.

The good:

  • You have repeating events right away

The less good:

  • Not as flexible and powerful
  • Not sure what the status of those modules will be once repeating events are supported in CCK.

FYI, I think I remember Karen saying Sean Fuller (the Event Repeat module maintainer) was working on part of this as well.

This is really a duplicate of an existing Date module request to create repeating events (http://drupal.org/node/117431), not something the Calendar module would do.
