Upcoming Events pane returning no data with in-progess events [#2008596]

I installed Commons with example content, deleted that content, made a user, then had that user post some events. None of my test users (including UID 1) can view the Upcoming Events pane on "/events" page. It returns no content, with no errors.

I fixed this bug by editing the Landing Page pane in "Commons Events - Upcoming Events (Content)" Views.

Clone the view then disable the clone (for backup)
Remove the "Content: Date - start date (now)" filter criteria

I also confirmed the behavior further by reimplementing the "Content: Date" filter with an end date criteria, requiring that the event ends sometime in the future (event end date > now). This supposes that you only want to show future or in-progress events, and that we may implement a "past events" view, as well.

Note from #2008608: Events Landing Page sort redirects user to RSS feed that this applies to the Feed and Group pane display of this view, as well.

Title:	Upcoming Events pane returning no data even for admin UID 1	» Upcoming Events pane returning no data with in-progess events
Priority:	Major	» Normal

Dropping priority to normal, and editing the title, now that I know the cause and can explain it.

Essentially, the view-designer's intent was to only show events that hadn't started yet. However, we should default to a similar behavior that I described above: show events that haven't ended yet. This is particularly important given the fact that we have an "Online" event type. Attending late is entirely plausible. We might enter an event that starts immediately (and that is the default content of the start date field), but will be on-going for a long time.

For the future, we should design in some additional cues to the user, and interactivity. User should know about the date constraint on the view, and would enjoy some options like "past events".

We also need a "no content" output on the HTML views so that we don't risk breaking both theme and user expectation (user looks for sidebar block views on the right-hand side of the page, but no events are on-going, so it renders on the left-hand side.)

I have a solution for this one that may help, I noticed that the sample events I had created on the site were still present in the User Upcoming Events panel pane even though they were no longer showing in the main events content pane. I added Content:Date to the Fields area of the view and excluded from the display. Then added a filter of Content: Date - end date (field_date:value2) with an operator of "is greater than" and chose the option of enter a relative date and Relative date computation of "now". This has proved to show true upcoming events in the content pane up until the event ends, thus I used the end date and time instead of the start date and time. It does however make sense to now create a fourth pane for events that the logged in user has attended sorted by most recent to further back so that if the user has any post event media content or comments to post they could easily refer back to their past event. Below is a view export if anyone wants to try this as well. If needed I will gladly finish up the whole view and add a new pane for inclusion of user attended events in recent to older sort.
