i created my own content type using CCK; the only added field is a date. (i set the type to show in all event views.)

i then used the calendar view that is supplied with the module. my only change is to add a filter: by content type, selecting my created type.

when i go to Calendar, i do not see nodes created using my cck type. if i create an Event, that shows up just fine (as it should, i guess).

i'm missing something here. i don't know what step i'm missing or if it's "their" fault. what i do know is: the kids at the school are missing their calendar in Drupal 5.... tia.

did you add the arguments for year, month, and day (in order) and set them to "display all values?"

I'm not sure I understand how you have things set up. Can you install the content_copy program that comes with cck and export the content type you are working with and paste it here, and also export and paste your view here.

I'm having this problem too. I have more fields than just a date, but I do have a date field. Maybe I'm just crazy, but I don't see any way to tell the calendar view that I want to include nodes based on this date?

My cck export is attached (event.cck.txt)

i've not had net access for a while. attached is the content type i have been trying to use.

i can't find anything i'm supposed to do in Calendars for this, either; should i?

thanks

I had the same problem, nodes of a given content type that should display in the calendar block didn't show up.

I solved it simply by putting some text in the node body.

I.e. - when the node body text was empty the node was invisible on the calendar block (but not the calendar page) ?

@drinkypoo - you need to add the date field to your calendar 'Fields' list to get the date to show up in the calendar. Anything you put there is what you will see in the calendar, so you'll want a title, the date field, and optionally a description field.

@t.a. barnhart - I tried importing your export and had a few problems, you may need a database update (go to update.php on your site). Then as noted above, add the date field you want to see in the calendar to the calendar 'Fields' list.

@pallevillesen - did you not have the title in the 'Fields' list? You need something in that list other than the date that will always have something in it, usually that would be the title.

@all - I know I need to get this better documented, and that's on my todo list.

I'm marking fixed because I think with the above suggestions you will get the results you want.

I have also experienced this, and I found the cause of the problem. When the Date field has date-specific time zone handling, nothing shows up in the calendar. If the timezone handling is set to site, or turned off, events will show up.
