I have built and events feature on a site using Date/calendar/views.
you can view it here:
http://vcdev.andreaburton.com/events
I am using the view that the calendar module provides with the year, month, week, day views.
What i really need is for the main page to show the month calendar view and have a filtering feature. And then show the events below the month calendar. I have mocked it up here:
http://vc.andreaburton.com/interior-mockup/events.html
When i tried to attach the monthly listings to the month view (i created a monthly events listing view and and attached it to the page view), it would show the events but then if you clicked over to the day view, there would then be the listing that the calendar view outputs and then the same listing from the attachment i created.
Any ideas or can anyone point me to a resources?
also, in using recurring dates. i have an event like this:
http://vcdev.andreaburton.com/pittsboro-farmers-market
whoa, huge list of dates!! what i want to do is write a function that would take the first date and the last date and show like this:
Repeats every week until Tue Nov 10 2009.
April 2, 2009 - November 5, 2009 3:30pm - 6:00pm
so as to remove that long list of dates. Any one know how to do that?
I know that using Date/Calednar is the way to go vs. the Event Module but I am struggling to get the output like I want it. Should I switch to Event Module? I think i heard that it is better as far as future development and Drupal 7 to use Date/Calendar.
thanks for any assistance!
