Struggling with building a Calendar

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

I am trying to build a church calendar. I have watched a number of Podcasts on this topic and it doesn't seem that difficult but I am missing something. First of all, I am running on Drupal 6.15 and I am using cck 6.x-2.6, views 6.x-2.8, date 6.x-2.7, and Calendar 6.x-2.4.

Please take a look at www.myvcc.com/calendar and then let me ask the following questions:

1. Why isn't the name of the month displaying?
2. Why is there a narow column to the far left on the calendar with the numbers 49 - 53?
3. When I click on either of the two test events I have created there, the pop up doesn't display anything.

I would appreciate any help anyone can provide as I have been stuck on this for 2 days now.

  1. Why isn't the name of the month displaying?
    i think it is a problem of styling - i can see it, it is a very similar grey color

  2. Why is there a narow column to the far left on the calendar with the numbers 49 - 53?
    numbers of weeks, you should be able to switch it off if you dont like them

  3. When I click on either of the two test events I have created there, the pop up doesn't display anything.
    again stylig - it is there, but in white :)

Yes I agree with mojzis. The

Yes I agree with mojzis. The font color for month is determined on line 293 of calendar_multiday.css and the pop-up is taken from the body font color on line 2227 of style.css.

I would recommend updating your version of Drupal as there has been a security fix since 6.15.

Thanks for the quick replies

Thanks for your input. I haven't gotten into css as of yet but perhaps it's time to learn. I will look into what you have said and post back if I run into more questions.

I've also not done a update of versions yet either. Any helpful hints about how to go about doing that?

Thanks mojzis and ian-moran.

Thanks mojzis and ian-moran. Your input was spot on and I have resolved the issue I had. I greatly appreciate your help. One other question. Are you aware of any modules to use to print and/or email the calendar? I have used Forward module but it doesn't seem to work with views even though it has a check box for non-node pages. I thought perhaps you have some experience here as well.

probably these
