Event Calendar for Drupal 6?
First my apologies in case I did not look hard enough or in the wrong places but I spent a few days now trying to figure out the best way to have a calendar integrated in my Drupal 6 install... It seems that the calendar module is not supported for version 6 yet. I also looked at plenty of other php/mysql event calendar scripts but Drupal authentication is not supported and I do not want my users to authenticate a second time whenever they want to add an event to the calendar...
A perfect calendar for me would be one that:
* Displays a monthly overview showing on what dates events have been scheduled.
* Every authenticated user can add/change/delete own events.
* All posted events are visible to all authenticated users.
* All authenticated users get email notification in case an event gets added/changed/removed.
* When a day on the monthly calendar is selected, the view changes to the daily view with 1/2 hour increments.
I am willing to buy a script or 'downgrade' to 5.x in case nothing exists yet on 6.x
Hope to get some good pointers :-)
Thanks!

there's a d6 dev version for the event module. Seems to me you have 2 choices... participate in getting the d6 version tested and debugged or downgrade to d5 for the time being. you're not missing anything, its really just that simple.
Actually...
While nothing on the actual Event project page specifically says that it's deprecated in D6, a discussion on Lullabot suggests that it is, and that the D6 version of Event is meant for those who have D5 sites already running Event, to enable them to upgrade. However, those building new sites in D6 are encouraged to use CCK/Views to create their event calendars instead.

ah... i hadn't seen that yet. Thanks for the info. IMHO, that's probably the right way to go.
Are there some instructions
Are there some instructions somewhere for using this calendar module other than "add a date field" (without saying how to do it)?

Never mind - just found this: http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/calendar
Thought it would be handy to provide that in case someone else, like me, finds this thread...
there's 2 calendar modules
there's 2 calendar modules mentioned in this thread-- to which are you referring?

We have implemented the
We have implemented the calendar module for our D6.3 site http://www.boernetoday.com and it's working great! It's still in beta I believe so there are a few quirks, but it works for our current needs. Check it out and feel free to ask me any questions about it.
How ..
Hi haley.star ...
can you tell me how you implemented it ? sorry coz i am a nubie
i need more detail of explanation ... thx.
If you could be just a tad
If you could be just a tad more specific I'd be able to help you out more. Do you mean how did I stall it? Set it up? Style it? There was a lot involved but nothing overly complicated and I didn't have to hack the module or anything, works pretty good out of the box!
Views broke my site

( views-6.x-2.0-rc1.tar) and it broke my site...fatal error....what am I doing wrong?

I don't know which version
I don't know which version of drupal you're runing, but the latest version of views is not compatible with drupal6.2 and below. I recommend upgrading to the most recent version of drupal and installing the latest versions of both modules as well.
I have the same problem and
I have the same problem and got some hints in the date module page:
I was using the rc version of both date and views and when I enable both, the /admin/build/modules page would just come back blank. Then I installed the dev version of calendar, cck, date and views and I was able to enable them all.
But....after I fiddle with my site for yesterday to today (adding one event content type, a calendar view and another simple view), now my /admin/build/modules page is blank again like before. Very frustrating. I'm back to square one: restore and retry again. Anyone have any idea what might be my problem?
I'm using D6.4.
Haley.star: what version of calendar, cck, date and views are you using?
at the moment we are using
at the moment we are using Drupal6.3
calendar 6.x-2.0-beta3
date 6.x-2.0-beta3
cck6.x-2.0-rc4
views6.x-2.0-rc1
However all those now have updates available. We have a new version of the site in the works right now using the latest version of drupal and corresponding modules which will go live probably around the 1st of the month. But that's what we used when we launched the current site.

Haley,
I looked at your implementation of the calendar and am very impressed with the look and feel. I would like to emulate it on our site. We have the calendar installed although there have been some issues. Can you provide details on how you themed the calendar to make it look and function so well?
Thanks,
David
It was fairly
It was fairly straightforward, we were able to use it pretty much as it was out of the box. I added some jquery hovertips using the hovertip module which worked pretty well! As far as theming I only had to template things a little. The indiviual calendar nodes I used a node template to get the content displaying where I wanted it, the rest is just css!

Changing the created date into the event date
I don't know if it is the proper solution, but with calendar 6.x-2.1 I changed both the "argument" and the "sort criteria" in the date I that represent the event date.
And that works for me.
(I used the Date module to set the event date (from - to))
Fonts?
Hi,
Nice site...what theme are you using?....
Do you know how to change fonts in Google Calendar? I need to get more events listed per day.
thanks

The theme is custom made, I believe I may have started with the foundation theme. I've been using it lately to start off and like it.
As far as google calendar fonts go, I'm not sure exactly what that has to do with the drupal event module but I'm not sure how to change fonts in it. I believe you can add as many events to a day as you like????
Repeating "events"
I am having an issue where, when I "repeat" an event, let's say for example "weekly" then EVERY date from the RRULE is listed in the default view of the "event" - does that ring any bells? I'm trying to figure out where/how I can turn this feature "off" as it does not seem to do this in the calendar view. In the daily calendar view, it seems to be able to parse out the correct date from the RRULE and only display it:
http://www31.a2hosting.com/~teamriv/?q=node/27 (ALL dates displayed)
vs.
http://www31.a2hosting.com/~teamriv/?q=calendar/2008-10-24 (single date displayed)
Any tips?

Calendar View w/o the Calendar Layout
Can you point the way on how to create a Calendar View like this one: http://www.boernetoday.com/calendar ?
It seems like it would be a tweak of the default Calendar View, so I cloned that view and got busy trying out everything. I tried tweaking the Style parameter -- calendar, html list, grid, table, unformatted -- but that doesn't really get me in the ballpark of what you see at boernetoday.com.
Help, please?
By the way, this tutorial for creating a Drupal Calendar is great: http://drupal.org/node/231680#comment-1108299

i am also experiencing the same problem
I am working with Drupal 6.8. It would be great if in the calendar view the event fields could be used for arguments, filters. The new calendar module is a vast improvement on the previous module but it would be great if the event module was integrated more with it.
