Please check the help page on your drupalsite for events (?q=admin/help/event). It explains how you can start using it. Be aware that it seems to work differently with version 4.6 and later compared to previous versions of Drupal.

I spent hours scratching my head over this. Here is what I have figured out. I have this working on a clean install and on an upgraded site.

--Install the event module.
--Run the update-event.php file if you are upgrading
--install flexinode.module (don't forget the mySQL script)

--Create a content type called 'event' at administer-->content-->content type
--I added two text fields: 'description' and 'location'

--Now go to admin/node/configure/types (Note: I could not figure out how to navigate here from the menu).
---You should now see 'event' in the list. Click 'configure'
--Scroll down to the middle of the page and under "Show in calendar views," pick "All views" (don't forget to click 'Submit')

--next, go to administer-->access control

you should now see two new items under flexinode:
*create event content
*edit own event content

--check these two items for at least authenticated user (don't forget to click submit)

--go to administer-->categories and pick a category. Edit that category. You should see a Type of 'event'. Check that box (and Submit).

Now you should be able to go to 'create content' and add a node of type event. If you don't get start and end dates/times, something is wrong.

This worked on a clean installation and on an 4.5-->4.6 upgrade.

1) We don't need the arrow buttons for the event listing page. We want it only for small calendar block.

2) When I clcik on left/ right arrow button of small calendar, it takes to a bigger calendar page. It should go to the first day of the next/ previous month.

Thanks,
