Hi,
Simple question, to a guru, I'm sure! :)
I'm using D6, Views2, CCK, Calendar, and Date to create a right "block" for "Upcoming Events".
For example, this is how a normal (non-repeating) event would appear:
Carwash
08/29/2009 - 14:52
2 days 6 hours from now
However, if I create a "date repeat" range, then the display shows something like this:
Team Meeting (Repeat)
Repeats every month on January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November on the Monday until Thu Dec 31 2009 .
09/17/2009 - 11:51
3 weeks 4 days from now
7 weeks 4 days from now
11 weeks 4 days from now
I would like it to break out the individual date ranges; for example:
Team Meeting (Repeat)
09/17/2009 - 11:51
3 week 4 days from now
Team Meeting (Repeat)
10/17/2009 - 11:51
7 weeks 4 days from now
I've played around with different settings in the "view", but am stumped. Below is the exported view:
$view = new view;
$view->name = 'sar_upcoming_events';
$view->description = 'SAR Upcoming Events';
$view->tag = 'SAR Upcoming Events';
$view->view_php = '';
$view->base_table = 'node';
$view->is_cacheable = FALSE;
$view->api_version = 2;
$view->disabled = FALSE; /* Edit this to true to make a default view disabled initially */
$handler = $view->new_display('default', 'Defaults', 'default');

Do not Group multiple values
I think I had the same problem some time ago and then I tried disabling "Group multiple values" option in the date options.
Now my problem is how to not show all the repeating dates in the node view, I only want to show the next upcoming date. In the calendar view it shows single date in the pop-up.
EDIT: Found a solution. In CCK "Display fields" I had to choose to show 1 value starting from "now"
Thanks!!
Thanks!!
Yep, I had to uncheck the "Group multiple values" box! Though now obvious, I don't think I would have figured that out.
This helped me. Thanks
