I have a pretty comprehensive drupal site but I do not really understand how all the modules talk to each other. I have one area that lists about 1000 weekly meetings and then I have an event calendar. I just figured out how to add LOCATION to the navigation and sorting by location name....but, I do NOT WANT the events to be shown as they are repeating events and clog up the views. I looked at the filters and arguments but it does not makes sense to me. I am probably being vague in my descriptions...but, does anyone know what I am trying to achieve and how do I do that? I see the toggle to 'EXPOSE' filters but I do not want the viewer to know what they are filtering...I just want the meetings to show up not the calendar events.

Thanks in advance.

Also, how could I add a search form on that same page....?

TIA.

It really depends on how you've set up the node types, taxonomy and views. Personally (and assuming you are using the latest D6 versions of CCK and Views), I would set up two node types: Events and Locations. Then use CCK's Node Reference to look up Locations for each Event node. (Note that a Node Reference field can be filtered using Views). Then it would be a simple matter to filter by node type for your Locations view.

Ok...your comments were helpful....I sorta have my nodes set up that way....but, just by your articulation I found a way. The default filter is 'location'. But, both events and meetings have locations...so, I deleted that filter and added specific taxanomy only related to my meetings. That did the trick. Thanks again.

Glad to be of help, even if only by accident somehow.
