Description

Hi = had this as part of http://drupal.org/node/499372 but figured the solution so thought I should report in case it helps others.

Using Calendar not Event

Had two Content Types
- Event
- Group Meeting

both using field = Event Dates = field_event_dates

My associations showed as
Current associations: [event]=>
[og_meeting]=>field_event_dates

I tried using RSVP settings for Content Type = Event
but "Date field to use for Invitations"showed as

and if I reset above field to 'Event dates' and saved, when I clicked back in to Content Type it was still as above.

Then thought that since I am using Calendar - maybe there is conflict with fact that I have a content type called Event that perhaps RSVP is expecting to be associated with the Event Module

So changed my name for 'event' to 'event_public' and bingo!

Now have

Selected connector: date
Current associations: [event]=>
[og_meeting]=>field_event_dates
[event_public]=>field_event_dates

Have set STATUS to 'ACTIVE' but maybe it should be 'BY DESIGN" ?

Hm,

that is strange. I tried the same a minute ago and it works for me if I name a regular content type "Event/event".
Is it possible that you had the "RSVP event connector" enabled at one point and then changed to the "RSVP date connector"? If that is the case it might be that there is still an artifact stored in as variable in drupal.
If that is the case I suggest that you uninstall both connectors and then enable only the RSVP date connector.

Best regards,
Ulf

Reading a second time through your email, I think I am right.
You probably have enabled the event module at one point. Thats why you still have a setting like

Current associations:
[event]=>
[og_meeting]=>field_event_dates
[event_public]=>field_event_dates

the empty event field comes because of a leftover variable in drupal. After uninstalling and installing again, and setting the content types you should see something like

Current associations:
[og_meeting]=>field_event_dates
[event_public]=>field_event_dates
