I'm trying to properly install the wonderful set of modules that will allow for this great events editing/creation system. Here is what I have done so far:

Setting Up Ical Event System

Download and install the following modules in your Drupal 6.x website:

  1. Ical module: http://drupal.org/project/ical
  2. Date (especially for the Date Repeat module): http://drupal.org/project/date
  3. Universally Unique Identifier: http://drupal.org/project/uuid
  4. Modal Frame API: http://drupal.org/project/modalframe
    1. Modal Frame Exclude from Node: http://drupal.org/project/modalframe_exclude_node
    2. Automodal: http://drupal.org/project/automodal
    3. jQuery UI: http://drupal.org/project/jquery_ui
    4. jQuery Update 6.x-2.x: http://drupal.org/project/jquery_update
  5. Autoload: http://drupal.org/project/autoload
  6. Inherited formatter: http://drupal.org/project/inheritedformatter
  7. Features: http://drupal.org/project/features

Download and install the following libraries in your Drupal libraries folder:

  1. ICalcreator: http://kigkonsult.se/iCalcreator/index.php#.T4tDYtUcWIA
  2. Timepicker: https://github.com/palantirnet/timepicker

After installing these (some of them were already working on my site), I've created an "event" type with the ical date field (with "Fancy Ajaxy Calendar" widget).

I then need an "event instances" type with the iCal Reference field. I've configured this field to reference the "event" node type created above. I also add a date field (with date picker popup) to the "event instances" type and configured the ical date field (in the "event" node) to use instance generation with this "date" field.

What else needs to be done? And what, if anything, have I done incorrectly here? I'm having trouble getting the edit form to give me all of the options I should have (see the attached image), and the editing form isn't formatted quite right. Also, when I save a recurring event, the entities, or "event instances" are not created.

I'm also not sure what the directory names should be for the libraries in the libraries folder: "iCalcreator," and "timepicker"?

Any help would be appreciated.

Should the form look like this when everything is installed properly?

Here is another place to gather instructions for this module:
