I'm setting up a website with Acquia Drupal for a non-profit club. It needs an Events Calendar. The latest release of Acquia Drupal uses Drupal 6.8 and the latest versions of Calendar and Date modules. I followed this recipe found at:
http://drupal.org/node/326061#comment-1077193 and set up the Events Calendar. It looks OK but has a major flaw.
It shows the events on the date that I uploaded them instead of on the actual date of the event. I would appreciate it if someone would update this recipe and show me step by step how to fix this. I don't know if there's a step missing or if the problem is with the Date and Calendar modules being in RC6 status.
I followed this instruction:
In the Arguments panel
Click Date: Date (node.changed)
Near the bottom of the page under Date field(s):uncheck = Node: Update date
check Content: Event Date and Time (field_event_datetime value)Click Update
This set the start time of your event instead of the node update time as the argument for the view.
But I'm still having the problem with the default date being the Node update time instead of the start date of my event.
In the next step, I could not find Node:Type so I could not add the Filter.
Is there a way to fix this or should I use Drupal 5 instead?

Sorted it out
I think Katy got this sorted out.
Someone by the name of fhsm created a nice recipe in the above thread, but missed an important part of step 3. He forgot to add the date field to the view prior to selecting the argument.
