I need to create a content type with unlimited "date + description" field pair, i.e.

Title: [_____]
Body: [_____]

YYYY/MM/DD [description 001]
YYYY/MM/DD [description 002]
...
YYYY/MM/DD [description n]

After reading http://drupal.org/node/119102, it seems that FlexiField is what I need. However, http://drupal.org/node/300668 indicates FlexiField does not work well with Views (on which I need to show the list of date events on Calendar view).

So, it there a "Date with Comment" module out there (similar to Image with Description)? Or, any pointer to how I can learn to write a module myself?

Thanks very much!

you can add text boxes for descriptions using CCK's text field.

What I need is unlimited, pairs of, date and description.

If I use simple data and text. The input screen will looks like (as an example):

2009/05/01
2009/05/02
2009/05/03
2009/05/04
+ Add more date

Paper work
Review
Submission
Completed
+ Add more description

What I want is:

2009/05/01 Paper work
2009/05/02 Review
2009/05/03 Submission
2009/05/04 Completed
+ Add more event

such that date and description are added as a pair of field, instead of two individual fields.

Thanks

seems to me you can theme the form to look the way you want it to.

Not just theming, there needs to be a database field also.

I was under the impression that the OP already has two fields. One a date field and one a date description field. If this is the case than one can create a text field in their content type and then theme them next to one another on both the form and on display if one wanted.
