I have tried all three methods of creating a Date Field to post items (concert dates) to my calendar. But all of these Date fields only post the event to the CURRENT date and show the Concert Date, but what they don't do, is actually post the Concert ON the date that it takes place.
I saw a post about this a while back and someone said they needed to use Datestamp to make this work, but that is not working now.
Thanks

(not sure if this is a Calendar issue or a Date issue)

Jeremy Toaster commentedAny ideas on this? Is it a DATE issue? This should be affecting everyone's postings to their calendars.
Comment #2
karens commentedThere is not enough info to help you here. The date it shows up in the calendar is governed by the way you set up the calendar's date argument, so I need to see an export of your view to see if that's what you're doing. It sounds like you don't have your event date selected in that argument.
I also need to see an export of your date field (use Content Copy to create that) to see how your date field is set up.
It doesn't matter what kind of date field you use, all will work.

Jeremy Toaster commentedDo you want those exported and pasted here? Cause they are quite large. Or should they be saved in files and attached?
Comment #4
karens commentedPaste them here, wrap them in <code></code> tags. That is the easiest way for me to read them.
Comment #5
Jeremy Toaster commentedCalendar View
Since you suggested to delete and start the calendar from scratch, this Views Export may or may not be of use now.
Comment #6
Jeremy Toaster commentedHere is my custom Content Type
This is still in effect and of importance
Comment #7
karens commentedYour argument is set up to use Node: Changed not your custom date. Edit the argument. Uncheck Node: Changed and check the date you actually want in your calendar (field_show_date, I assume).
You also have the node changed field showing up in your fields instead of your show date. Remove those fields and add your show date instead. There are overrides set up on the fields for each of your displays, so you will either have to remove the field overrides so they all use the same fields, or change the fields in each display.
The default calendar shows the node changed date since that's one of the few date fields that everyone has, and it works out of the box to create an archive calendar. You have to change it if you want to use a different date.

Jeremy Toaster commentedThanks a lot Karen, I think I have figured out where all these changes need to be made.
My only concern is I have (field_show_date) and (field_show_date2), I think because I had one first and had to start fresh and created a new one, which then is just a duplicate. So I have enabled both just to see what works and will remove one once it starts going.
I'll add a date now and see what happens.

Comment #9
Jeremy Toaster commentedWell looks like that is working! I was able to tweak a few things and get certain fields to display in the Month view as well.
I am having another problem now though, which I will do a search on to find if it has already been addressed.
I created a new event, with the date 12/01/2008 at 8:30PM, upon posting it, it shows up on 12/02/2008 but lists the correct date in the details and when you Edit the page the original 12/01/2008 is still there.
Has this already been addressed in another issue?
Thanks
