Hello,
I have installed Timeline and Event modules and created a new Event. It shows up in Event Calendar (if i go to the Event i created and click Calendar) but I cant seem to make a View that works. Here are my Views2 settings:
under Basic Settings i have chosen Style: Timeline.
under Style Options i have chosen Grouping Field: None, Typeline Type: Vertical
under Initial Date Focus: First Event, Main Band Interval Unit: Day, Controls: Disabled
Filters - Node Type: Event
Fields - Node: Title (do not link to node)
I then make a Page View and have chosen timeline as my path.
This displays a blank page.
When I look at the README.TXT it's a little unclear on the Views settings. Views will not let you create a Page view without using at least one field, so I chose Node Title.
Here are what the fields are listed as in README.TXT:
1st: If present, used as the start time and end time for the timeline event.
Event nodes will use the start and end date of the event...
does this mean since im using an Event node i shouldnt have to add a field to my view? There is no option in Add Fields to a View that says anything about my Event type. In Event content type (added automatically by Event module - it has the option of selecting dates when you add a new Event) there are no actual Fields when you go to Event -> Manage Fields, so i dont know how Im supposed to add this to my view.
...CCK date fields will use the from and to date of the field.
If not present, the node's creation time is used instead.
- 2nd: If present, used as the title and clickable link for the timeline
event. If not present, the node's default title is used instead.
- 3rd: If present, used as the description for the timeline event. If not
present, the node's teaser is used (if available). NOTE: at present CCK
nodes don't have a teaser by default, so you'll want to define the
description field explicitly for them.
I'm just really confused about how to make the View. If anyone can help me with this I would really appreciate it.
