Hey folks... I'm having a very persistant problem with EventFinder - it doesn't find any events.
I've checked and rechecked all the installation instructions and still it doesn't work
I installed fresh versions of drupal for about 4-5 times and don't know what else to do. Here are the steps I took:
Installed Drupal.
Installed and activated Flexinode.
Created a new node type (named Meeting).
Installed and activated Event module.
Configured "Meeting" node to show in the events calendar (all views).
Installed and activated Location module.
Configured "Meeting" node to use Location parameters (allow all 6 of them).
Installed and activated EventFinder module.
Enabled "Enable Event Type Searches" just to be sure the other searches don't get in the way.
And I can't find any events using it... though they do show up under "My events" or in the event calendar.
Please help me cause I don't want to abandon all the work because of a bug like this one :(...

Sorry, don't know the answer (still looking into it) but I'm getting the same problem here on one CivicSpace install, though on another it's working fine (identical module setup, etc.). Ever happen to figure out what it was?
Ha...
You know what this was (at least for me)? The EventFinder module only finds events that are scheduled sometime in the future. Anything that was created for anytime earlier than right now doesn't appear on the list.
The exact query that gets sent is:
SELECT n.nid AS nid FROM {location_node} a
INNER JOIN {node} n ON a.nid = n.nid
INNER JOIN {event} e ON n.nid = e.nid
WHERE WHERE e.event_start > %d
ORDER BY n.created DESC
%d is the PHP time() function, which gives the current date and time, in UNIX timestamp format (e.g. 1126413018).
I'm planning submitting a patch to the README file for this module to hopefully help other people from getting confused. :)
thanks
I was pulling my hair out. Thanks, webchick, for the help.

EventFinder doesn't find anything even though the events are definitely events (they show up as content type "event" under Administer > Content > List).
I do have all my events categorized under a second-level category in the taxonomy structure (Events - Grassroots Events, Events - Community Events, etc.). I wonder if that's the problem, but I don't want to nuke my taxonomy and start over...
Re: No search matches in EventFinder
I found a configure.txt file at the bottom of the following page that worked for me.
