Hi Tim

I just wanted to check if the module supported 'nested filed collections' only I'm trying this but with no success at the current moment in time and can't work out if it's something I'm doing wrong or the module just doesn't allow for this (pulling in a date field from within a field collection which is nested inside another field collection)?

I'd noticed a previous thread http://drupal.org/node/1062240 which appeared to pertain to Field collections but I couldn't work out if this resolved the issue or not (it is now closed).

Looking forward to any advice on this.

Stephen

Hi Tim

I've answered my own question and I've now managed to get the date through from a nested field collection :-).

My only issue now is that it pulls through the time but will not pull through any of the associated field data. So at the moment I have a time but with no information as to was this pertains to.

Just so you are aware what I have done is take an existing view that pulls through all the data I require (and works). I have then cloned this and converted it to a FullCalendar view. So when I have done this all this will do is pull through the time in the correct date field on the calendar and none of the other data gets pulled through. Am I doing something wrong only I've noticed on some of you images and on a German instructional video on YouTube (unfortunately it's not in English) that it does appear to pull through the field text to describe the event?

Thank you

Stephen

PS I've add you on IRC just incase.

PPS It's amazing how you can drag and drop the calendar event and this then updates itself in the actual entity/node (I always get confused at to the difference!)

Booom! I've just answered my own question again (this one I can explain).

To show one of your fields associated with the date i.e. to get a description next to your calendar entry, do the following:

1. In Views go to 'Format - Full Calendar - Settings';
2. Go to 'Customize Fields';
3. Select 'Use a Custom Title';
4. Select the appropriate 'Title Field' from the Drop Down (obviously you have to have added these fields in the first place).
