Hello,

I am quite new to drupal, and I was confused as to whether I needed the event module or the calendar one. It turned out calendar is the way to go :) However, it seems you get less out of the box. After walking through your documentation, I was very happy to have a working calendar which shows my events by event date. :)

Now I am trying to emulate the upcoming and recent events block. To my surprise, setting up the recent events block was quite easy and intuitive! I was amazed by the power of views. So I thought it would be just a peace of cake now to also create an upcoming events block. I cloned the "recent events" view as I only needed to change the date condition from "less than" to "greater than" now. Unfortunately, this does not seem to work .. :/ No events show up in the block..

Any clue what I could be doing wrong?

Hi again,

by putting some debug code in the views module I was able to solve the problem myself. :) So I'm posting this for archive's sake.

I never understood what the calendar view parameters were meant for, but it seems they restrict the visible events to the current month. Apparently I had the same problem on the recent event view, but I didn't notice yet since i didn't have events older than a month :)

So after removing all parameters (year, month and day) on both recent and upcoming event views, everything was fine!

closing the issue..
