I have 6 different views on my site, and all of them have exposed filters, all of them have exposed date filters.

I use no default for the exposed filters, so it should work as on the page of the views I should see all the stuff what I have on the view. But on the page, there is nothing, just the exposed filters. If I click on the apply, everything works fine, all the fields come forward, or if I set the filters to something, the filters do their job.

I dont't understand it, I would like to have all fields on the starting page of the views (and I think it is the default).

I tried with cck date fields, and non-cck date fields (node: post date) too, same result.
If I delete the date exposed filter from the view, everything works fine, I have all the fields on the starting page.

I used cck 6.x-2.2, views 6.x-2.3, date 6.x-2.1. Now, I have the last -dev version from all of them...

Please help!

I'm having trouble with the same thing. I would like to set a date range on the exposed filter and have it applied as the default, so that all dates within the range are displayed without clicking Apply and then the range could be narrowed.

Does anybody else have the same problem? Is there any known solution for it?

HELP please!

Almost the same thing for me. I have an exposed filter with years and monthes, and when I load the page, at first, it only shows the nodes for current year, although I haven't selected it.

I'm having the same problem, I'm trying to view a complete list with an optional date filter. I have Optional checkboxed, so I would assume that the empty date would be overlooked, but instead it requires that I hit apply to see all of the results.

Can this be fixed or hacked?

Looking for a solution also.

I am also getting the same thing happening with the "Node: Published" exposed filter.

I have a solution for this problem, but I don't think, it is the right way things are working.

I made another date filter, which is different from the one I have already exposed, and which is true for all of my data. For example I use programmes with start dates exposed, and I use another (not exposed) filter for post date greater than 1900. 01. 01.

It's working now, because of the AND association of the filters, so on the start page of the view I see all the data, and if I use the exposed filters, I can filter the fields as I want, but It would be great, if the module shouldn't need that kind of hacking...
