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.Hello,
First excuse me for my English as it isn't my native.
I am trying to view events count foreach "event type" (taxonomy) using calendar but I am totally lost!
Here is what I did:
- I created a vocabulary "Event types" and added my event types :"Conference", "Journal",...
- Next I created a content type "Event" with a term reference to "Event types" and a start date/time.
- Then I created a new view
- -> Create a new view
- -> view content
- -> type "Event"
- ->View as "Calendar"
- ->View "fields"
- I added next the "start date field" as a contextual filter for the view
- In the display fields I added the Nid and the Type event then I set "use aggregation" to true
- I set the Nid to Count Distinct and type event to Group By
With "Format->Display Fields" it shows nothing! so I tried to use display as "Calendar Items" and display as "Calendar Entities" but instead of showing the events count for each event type it shows the events and and 1 as count.
I am not much experienced with drupal and calendar so if you have any idea about the problem or how to achieve what I am looking for your help is WELCOME!
Thank you
P.S: I joined a preview of I've got with Calendar Entities

Zombie777 CreditAttribution: Zombie777 commentedReferring to this issue, is there no way to get a grouped set of events on the calendar? I don't really care about the count but since the calendar does the day grouping and the filter is set to month granularity, is it possible to group the items by a field prior in the query? Is it possible to modify the query behind the scenes? I have a project where I an testing calendar and fullcalendar to do this and fullcalendar failed, I am trying to work with calendar and I thought I almost had it. I have taxonomies listed and prior to turning on the aggregation I got the multiple entries perday, in the example one service type had 3 entries on a day and another had 2. With aggregation on I got one entry for the service type that had 3 entries and the one with 2 disappeared. I though it might be something to do with the number of events but are you saying that this is not possible at all? My project I am working on depends on this feature and I assumed drupal with one of the calendar modules could do this. It seemed like calendar almost got it, is it possible to make a module to customize the query enough to make this happen without calendar logic being affected?
Desperately hoping this will work...thanks for any feedback on this.

vrwired CreditAttribution: vrwired commentedI found myself with a very similar goal a month ago and I am now revisiting the idea. The only thing I've come up with so far is to parse the view with a template in hope to render it the way I want it to look. It sounds like that will be the only way to do it with what the Calendar offers currently. My original post is at http://drupal.org/node/1925858... I'll repost once I have details about my experience on this quest.
