Hello,

I have a bunch of events on my site that are using the start/end date fields provided by the Event module. I would like to transition over to the more flexible combination of Date API CCK fields + Calendar for displaying events, but I am not sure of the best way to convert all of these existing events to use the new Date CCK fields.

What I am thinking is that I'll need to create a new CCK field for event start and event end, then write a little script to go through all of my event nodes, pull the values from the Event module start/end fields and push them into this new CCK field.

Does anyone know of a simpler way, or have any suggestions on how to do this most painlessly?

Thanks so much,
Ben

Is there anything that can assist with this yet as I now face the same problem.

That link got me through the transition. I am now Event-Free. :D I posted my modifications to the script (since we only had one event type) at the site so other users can see all the variations in one place.
