I have been searching for this answer all day long and either I do not have the correct search terms or I am the first person who has ever tried to do this (which I doubt).

I have a simple Drupal 6.17 site setup that allows different clubs to publish their practice/performance schedules into the calendar module. I have just added an exposed taxonomy that allows the web users to select which clubs' events that they see on the calendar. This works wonderfully and was easy to install.

On the right sidebar, I have the calendar "Upcoming Events" block showing. When I select vocabulary entries for my taxonomy and press the Apply button, the "Upcoming Events" block does not change. It simply shows the next 5 events regardless of the taxonomy term attached to the node.

What I would like is when a user selects the clubs they want to see information about and press the apply button that the calendar changes and the Upcoming Events section reflects what is shown on the calendar.

I believe I am missing something obvious, but I am unable to determine what that is.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Well, today I had a glimmer of hope. I found the contributed module Views Node Taxonomy Filter whose blurb simply states: Adds support to Views to filter a block on a node page by that node's taxonomy terms.

So I installed the module and enabled it. Sure enough a new filter shows up when I add a filter to my Upcoming block. However adding it to the filter for the Upcoming block has no effect on the outcome of the query.

I have also discovered that if I use the taxonomy: Term in the Upcoming block filter, that I can manually type one of the vocabulary words into the selection boxand then the query will return a subset of the upcoming events.

Does anyone know the mechanism to allow the current state of the taxonomy for the calendar to be used dynamically in the filter block?

Thanks
