I am using the latest dev modules for CCK, Views and Date.

I have a CCK Content Type called Events. It includes the Date field provided by the dates module.

When I create an Event and set a repeating date e.g. Every Week for, let us say, a year, the resultant Node lists all 52 dates on the main View tab. I have tried every possible setting under /admin/content/node-type/event/display but the node still displays all the repeat dates. I have set 'show 1 value starting from now' which ought to fix it, but it doesn't. This worked fine in D5 but I just cannot make it work now. It is clearly a CCK issue as the problem is with the display of the node itself.

There is a related issue when the node is included in a View set up to display all Events. The node reappears correctly each week in the correct sequence but it displays all 52 dates every time. I obviously want it to display the correct date on each occasion. Once again, this worked in D5 but I cannot make it work in D6.

I guess that would be a bug for Date module ?
Please update the issue description and specify the exact version you are using.

I updated to the latest dev modules of CCK, Views and Date today, 4th April, 2009. They are:

CCK 6.x-2.x-dev 2009-Mar-30
Views 6.x-2.x-dev 2009-Mar-26
Date 6.x-2.x-dev 2009-Apr-02

The problems outlined in my original post are with these three versions installed.

Is this still valid?

It has been partly solved, but it still does not work as it should.

It is now possible to avoid all the dates showing on every instance of a repeating event, but every instance shows the date of the first instance in the series rather than the relevant one. Very frustrating.

OK,
So the main issue has been fixed here.
The other issue is a CCK/Date architecture thing and there are other discussions about that too.
So, I am going to mark it as closed.
