Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Each month our library offers multiple computer classes with the same name, so managing signups from the signup admin can be a bit bothersome. How difficult is it to add the date from the cck date field of the content type next to the Title in the Signup Administrator? I have the Tokens module installed, if that matters.
Screenshot attached showing example..
We are lauching our site on Tuesday, so if anyone can post any help over the weekend I would be very grateful.
Thank you!

dwwPretty much impossible in 5.x-2.5 since there's no CCK date integration there. That was added via #86462: add backend support for cck date fields after 5.x-2.5 was released. Try the end of the DRUPAL-5--2 branch, what will be released soon as 5.x-2.6, and you should be in business. See #328756: Create a signup 5.x-2.6 release for more.

Thank you for responding, and I apologize for being a moron :)

dwwUse the 5.x-2.x-dev release or check out signup from the end of the DRUPAL-5--2 branch, and this will be fixed. Or, wait until 5.x-2.6 is out.

terryit3 commentedI am using the 5.x-2.x-dev release, but I am still unsure of how to get the signup administration page to display the cck date field in the event list. I don't see any option for it in the backend. Is there code I need to insert into one of the module files?
I could have the users add the date after the title of the event, but that's an extra step. I'm trying to make it as streamlined as possible.
I am also unclear on what the DRUPAL-5--2 branch is. I'm still a Drupal newb.
Thank you for your patience,

scottrigbyAs a work-around...
If you want to add the date to the node title, you can use Automatic Nodetitles, and set the cck field as part of the pattern.
1. install auto_nodetitle
2. make a new CCK field called "Event title"
3. add date field
4. set auto_nodetitle to generate the node's title based on a pattern [your cck field 'Event title'] + [your date field, such as 12-11-2008]
You can then set auto_nodetitle to hide the actual node's title field, so the user only sees your CCK 'Event title' one.
The generated node title should then display what you're asking for here (Title + date from datefield).

terryit3 commentedThank you. That is exactly what I needed. I can use this in other areas on my site as well.
