Multiple Types in Calendar?

Posted by calvin123 on March 31, 2009 at 8:36am

Hello everybody,

I am playing around with the modules "calendar" and "calendar_block" and it looks very good to me.
But now I am trying to make the calendar display fields from two different types. Is that possible?
For example showing the users birthday and upcoming events.

Best regards and thanks in advance

Thanks for the link, but it was more of an example. What I really need is fields from different object types.

Thanks

I think what you are asking

I think what you are asking is can the Calendar module be configured to use date fields multiple node types, so that one node type can represent meetings, for example, and another can represent birthdays.

If that is the question, then I believe that it can. This article may be of interest to you: http://pingv.com/blog/alasda/2008/drupal-upgrade-tip-converting-event-mo...

If that is not exactly your question, then please clarify.

Hello Hershel,

that is exactly my issue,
but since I'm new to drupal, I don't get the sense of the following sentence: "If you're sharing the eventstart and eventend fields between multiple content types".

Is this a configuration option in CCK and if so, where do I find it?
Or is this a manual action, that I have to create a table and have to populate this table with the values from the different date fields?

Thanks for your quick response

I have not worked with the method described there but AFAIK he means to add date fields (start and end) to multiple node types using CCK (i.e. using the regular Drupal web interface), that's all. You then populate those fields one at a time for each node on your site.

You need to create your "node types" and then "add fields" to those types.
