Getting Calendar to Show Node Repeats Properly [#1038614]

It is possible to hide past event in a normal view layout, but this does not work when using calendar module / calendar views.

1) Create a sequence of events (occurring before today & after today)
2) Configure views to hide past events
2a) Date greater than or equal to "now" filter
2b) Nodes where signup is open filter

I tried detaching all nodes from the sequence & this did nothing. Tried editing detached node & saving it as-is -> & this worked for that individual node.

You should be able to hide node repeat past event in calendar view without having to detach nodes & edit each one individually.

Please let me know if there is a solution/ workaround for this - Thanks

It appears as if the Date Argument granularity is overriding the date filter. If the Date Argument granularity is set to hour or day, then the past events disappear (as they should).

PROBLEM IS -> that the calendar view needs a date argument to determine which calendar layout it should show. So setting this to day or hour, causes the whole calendar to switch to that display.

MORE INFO-CONFIGURING VIEWS: (settings recommended as per date tools created default calendar views)
1) Edit default calendar date argument: Set granularity to "year", and method to "And",
2) Add a 2nd date argument: Select date field, Set granularity to "hour", set method to "And"
3) Add filter so that Date is greater than or equal to "now" (granularity set at 1 hour)
4) Add filter to show Signups that are Open

GOALS:
- To limit # of signups
- To have a calendar showing events w/ signups that are open
- To close signups 1 hour prior to event
- To remove open signups from calendar exactly 1 hour prior to event

This method should be in the documentation of this module (as soon as we get it to work right)

hmmm... could not get this to work properly with http://drupal.org/project/calendar

Had to switch to http://drupal.org/project/fullcalendar to get the needed functionality to work properly... Would be nice to get this working properly with the Calendar module though.

use case: using http://drupal.org/project/uc_signup & node repeat to create a booking system for a doctors office & also for a rental vacation home
