Selecting the Hide Repeat Rule also Hides the Field Label

I'm experiencing similar problems with:

Drupal 6.16, Calendar, Content Construction Kit (CCK) 6.x-2.6, 6.x-2.2, Date 6.x-2.4

I can't seem to hide the repeats. There's an example here:

I've adjusted the CCK display field to hide the repeat.

Same problem, Drupal 6.16, Calendar, Content Construction Kit (CCK) 6.x-2.6, 6.x-2.2, Date 6.x-2.4 and on node configuration I choose to hide repeat rules both for teaser and node view, and this is not working: it does not hide the repeats

Yeah when you have a value in the starting from, the label for the date cck dissapears... Strange...

This is my first post, so I apologize if my formatting is poor.

I have 6.x-2.7 and this issue still exists. I was able to see that it's caused by the way the CCK module handles detecting the first of multiple items in a field.

In cck/theme/content-field.tpl.php:

...
    <?php $count = 1;
    foreach ($items as $delta => $item) :
      if (!$item['empty']) : ?>
        <div class="field-item <?php print ($count % 2 ? 'odd' : 'even') ?>">
          <?php if ($label_display == 'inline') { ?>
            <div class="field-label-inline<?php print($delta ? '' : '-first')?>">
...

CCK is using $delta (the index) to determine the first item, but it's also ignoring items with $item['empty'] set to 1, meaning the first visible item might have an index of 2 or 10 or 100 and not cause '-first' to be appended to the class name. The CSS rules of CCK (as of 6.x-2.9) has .field-label-inline-first as 'display: inline' and .field-label-inline as 'visibility: hidden'.

If the repeat rule is set to be shown, it's the first item and so the label is visible. When it's hidden, the first visible item is actually the fourth member of $items (at least in my case) and so the label is hidden.

I didn't have time to determine whether or not this behavior is intentional, but fortunately content-field.tpl.php is easily overridden without modifying the module. I created a modified content-field template file (see http://drupal.org/node/206980 if you don't know how) to use the visible count rather than the index by changing the last line of the above section accordingly:

...
            <div class="field-label-inline<?php print(($count-1) ? '' : '-first')?>">
...

If someone can determine whether or not this is the intended behavior for CCK, then perhaps this change can be made into a patch to modify it for good. Until then, this should be a safe fix for this issue on a particular field.
