Questions about events module

By kb6nu on 13 Jan 2003 at 21:30 UTC

I've installed the events module, but it's not working the way I would expect it to work:

1. I can't seem to change the start date and time. No matter what I set those values to they never change.

2. When I click the 'events' link, nothing gets displayed on the page, even when I select the date that I thought I input when I input the event.

Does anyone have this working? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks, Dan

css included?

Have you included the events.css stylesheet? That's needed for displaying the calendar view.

Also, there's an issue with All Day events: when editing an all day event you have to reselect "All day". It's just a javascript hack (sets start/end time to first second and last second of day) rather than a flag that gets set to indicate an all day event.

If I'm just confusing you, post more questions and I'll try to help. I'm pretty familiar with the use of the event module (Thanks to Adam and Moshe) and trying to become more familiar with the code.

Where does one get this stylesheet?

As per subject.

Also, if a stylesheet is required, this is not mentioned in the INSTALL file, does not come with the tar.gz file, and cannot be found in CVS. Hm.

Your are confusing things

You are talking about the hacked version Moshe made for some company.
This version is not available from drupal org. If somebody wants it, search the archive of the support list.

sorry about the confusion... thought I was actually being helpful for once

I'm having trouble too

OK. I don't have any useful feedback, but I'm also having trouble with the events module (with 4.1 rc).

1) I can't even get the calendar to appear. I can add events and they show up OK when I go to the events page (without the events.css stylesheet), but I've requested that the calendar be displayed in the blocks admin, but it doesn't show up.

2) I'd like registered users to be able to submit events. I've checked "access events" in user management -> permissions, and "create event" shows up as an option for logged-in users, but when I click on that link, I get a list of types of content registered users are allowed to create (not the event creation form I expected), and create event is not one of the options. wtf?

The INSTALL file says something about structure.module. I don't see it anywhere.

Thanks,
Pete
