Hi there,

I am using D6 after upgrading from D5, updated the date api and calendar modules to D6 comp. modules an activated them. I have also included a date field in the story content type.

Problem is when I set a date in a new story, this date is not taken by the calendar, instead it takes the node created field as the date string for the story.

For example, If I create a new story today on 22th of Jan @ 09:00pm, with a date in the date-field of 24th of Febr. '09, the calendar schedules this event on 22th of Jan @ 09:00pm. This is not expected behaviour, it should take the 24th of Febr ofcourse?

Thanks!

It isn't expected and I ran into this too. It can be remedied though. In my case, I am using the calendar view and this is how I fixed it. If you are using a different type of view, it may be much the same.

In the views configuration, choose Arguments->Date:Date. Then scroll down a ways until you find "Date field(s)" and a column of checkbox options. Here you will want to select the Date CCK field you added and deselect the post date.

It is a bit annoying on first setup, but it is understandable since the view does not know what CCK fields you want to use. In effect, it is a good thing. I am not sure if there is documentation on this already since a co-worker pointed it out to me before I had to look for it.

This is by design. It is documented in numerous places.
