using drupal 4.2.0 and unconed theme. anyone know how to fix that?

Comments

I am facing the same problem

Yes - the event.module presents itself differently when posted to the front page.

1. Presentation of the Headline is not in the font-style like the rest.

2. Poster details, time and taxonomy links are NOT presented.

3. It also inserts a horizontal rule. (Which I actualy like, but would like to see that happen on all posts to the front page)

I am using the xtemplate theme with some modifications.

In addition, the weblinks.module also presents differently - but in this case - only on the main listing page of all the weblinks posted.

Added to that, the URL links look strange with a "return to" text prefixed to the link.

My website is at http://www.artsee.net/portal - disclaimer: like markybob's site, I am also still checking it out.

Look forward to constructive proposals to address these bugs. Otherwise DRUPAL rocks, and this site too! Thanks.

Yoe need a node_event function

With this function in your theme you can override the default node_event function which is a bit dull.

?

How do i apply that function? I dont know much about drupal's inner workings or how to fix this myself without detailed instructions

heh...it works, plus new features

check this out.

i dont suppose it's 'official', but it's an event.module that works with themes and there's some neat features, like a new calendar view. enjoy

Thanks for the pointer!

This version has gone a long way. Need to investigate it.

no worries. heads up, though

no worries. heads up, though, you need to recreate your event table in your database using the supplied even.mysql. also, be sure the place the event.css in ~drupal~/misc. this file control what the big calendar looks like, so feel free to edit it to whatever colors you want and so forth.

I am not worried at all

but rather happy that somebody else has implemented interesting stuff that I Always Wanted To Do(tm).

Default Node Even

I would rather override the default node_event function which is a bit dull.
But your way is also great i mean editing it to whatever colors you want and so forth

Ancient post

Do you realize you're replying to a nearly 4 year old post? Event and Drupal have changed quite a bit since then. If you're having issues with the current version, I suggest using the issue queue.
