I use Drupal 5.12 and here is my site: http://www.thewomensnest.com

I have a recent events calendar using the calendar block - but then I have a more dynamic block that pulls from a few different blocks - it is in the center of my homepage called "Eggs in the Nest" - the Recent Events part of that block is the one I have the question regarding.

I want that block to reflect the most current events from our calendar, but it only shows Nov 11 and Nov 4. It doesn't ever change.

I have checked the Admin/views area and am wondering if anyone can tell me the correct settings (complete) in that view area to reflect a list of current events that will show the top 5 and change as the dates change.....

Thank you!!

It looks like (from your website) that your fields are set correctly.

For Filters I use:

Node: Published equals yes
Node: Type is one of Event
Event: Start Date is greater than or equals now

What do your filters look like?

They are set correctly for the Calendar itself, in the left column, but not for the Recent Events in the Eggs in the Nest area. In that area it only shows a list of 2 events.
Here's the settings:

block: list view, nodes per block - 6
Fields: Title, normal, as link.
Date_calendar, do not group multiple values
Calendar: Week, display all values
Event: Greater than or equal to now. (It doesn't say "start date")
Field_calendar

What do you think? I would like a current list of events for the month...

Are you using the same view to provide the calendar as a page and the list as a block? I vaguely recall that I couldn't get that to work and had to create another view that just provided the list block.

I believe so.

I have been able to now have the list, but it won't show the date and the list with more than two items....
Here's my current settings:

BLOCK:
List view
6 nodes per block

FIELDS:
Title, normal

FILTERS:
Event
greater than or equal to Now
Published - yes

DATE:
field_calendar ascending
ID ascending

So now under Recent Events in the Eggs in the Nest block on my homepage, I have a list of 6 items, but no date w/any of them....any idea on how to get the dates to show up with more than just two items?
