I am on d6.

I have a list of questions on calendar and upcoming events:

1. the calendar shows:

Time:

how to remove Time: and remove the second 2011?

2. When logged out, the upcoming events as well as the calendar does not show the dates but just the events

I will ask the other questions but I need please help in these 2 points.

Hi,

1. I think you need to change the formats under site configuration/date & time/formats. You can either choose one of the default formats or create a custom one. Then make sure that the view is displaying the format you want.

2. I am guessing that this has to do with permissions. When you create a new field you have to go to permissions and make sure that guests can view it.

Hope that helps.

it really helped.

I have 2 more questions please:

I found 2 places to set the date format:

one that is called "Default Display" under the new content type. this is not taken into consideration in the calendar.
And another under Views > Calendar > Fields > Format.

What is the difference between these 2?

And if I want to display the calendar in Italian. can you please tell me how to do it? I already installed the Locale module.

Thank you

Currently the calendar has links to nodes while I only want the calendar to link to events.
I have a content type called event.
When I go to the calendar > default settings, I see the following:

Arguments:
1. Date: Date (node). This argument corresponds to the field Node: Updated date
Fields:
1. Node: Title
2. Node: Updated date

I thought that may be the calendar shows nodes that are not events because non of the fields are of type event.

Now when I add a new field of type event:
Content: Time (field_time) – From date Date – Appears in: Event
And I click Add, then update

And then remove the field:
Node: Updated date
Then click update

I receive this error:
The date argument date fields must be added to this query. You can exclude them if you do not want them displayed in the calendar.
I thought that this error is because I have an argument of type Date. So I tried to remove it and replace it with the customized argument:
Content: Time (field_time) – From date
Now a new type of error:
The calendar_nav style requires a Date argument

To note that:
I have another calendar that is disabled. I read some posts that I should uninstall the view/calendar/date and reinstall them again. But I am trying to see if there is a more suitable solution.

The customized content type is defined as follows:
It is called Event and I added another field to it labeled Time and named field_time and of type Date.

I wonder why drupal does not consider the new custom content type when I delete the Date argument that comes by default. And why this new field is classified under Content and not date?!

I hope you can shed me some light on this blocking issue.

i was able to solve the last posted issue. It is weird that drupal considers the new content type that i created is of type content while it should be Date.
So I kept the argument date but linked it to the new field that i created in the new content type.

I hope someone can answer my questions in the post before.

I also have the following concerns regarding the upcoming module:

suppose you have an event that continues several days. If i set the FILTER to >= now, the next day this event will not occur in the upcoming event. How to keep it an event that will end in few days?

And anther question regarding the tooltips module: how to let the tooltip shows the events only, not the date and the event?

thank you
