Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.I am a little baffled by how Events are presented to users. The filters cannot be made to show events in the past. Users can filter by Author, Tags or Groups, but not by date. I would like to use this feature as a repository for past meeting minutes, so I need people to be able to search or browse to find events that happened in the past. If there is at least one future event, a user could use the calendar on the side to I get an event up in a calendar view (if they can find one to click on), then they could change it to a weekly or monthly calendar view, which is what I think users need right off the bat when they visit the event tab.
What would it take to replace what is presented to users out of the box with /content/events/calendar/[current calendar month]
Also, within that calendar view, the user can select year, month, week or day. That would be the place to let them select a node list ordered by date.

david.moore.ipg CreditAttribution: david.moore.ipg commentedSimple question with a long set up.
OK, there is a context called content-events-page (which I assume is where you get to when you go to Community/Events from the main menu) and one called group-tab-events (which I assume is where you go when you first go to a group and then to the Event Tab).
I also see that there are views
content_event_page that you see when you go to Community/Events and
group_tab_events that you see when you go to the Event tab in a group
for navigation in the sidebar there is a view (enabled as a block I guess)
group_event_calendar for the group event tab and
content_event_calendar for Community/Events
these two calendar views have numerous displays, including day, week, month, year, upcoming and block. (I am unsure how and where these displays are used elsewhere in the site--which is what has led me to post this question)
I can see in the context where blocks are assigned to the sidebar, but I am unsure how the the main views (content_event_page and group_tab_events) are assigned to the content areas.
Basically, I want to replace the standard views that are displayed in the content areas with the month view display of the appropriate event calendar.
How do I do this?
What would I need to change about the event calendar views to use them like this (enabling as blocks??)
How can I set them to be the main target (content area) of these contexts instead of the upcoming events lists?

japerryWe're no longer performing non-security bugfixes on commons-6.x-2.x, but the idea of a calendar in 3.x is interesting. If there is continued interest, a new issue applicable to 7.x-3.x should be opened.
