Use Case:
We have an organization which needs to display their daily schedule. They have several events which occur each day. However, the events vary a little bit every day but they are exactly the same from week to week.
We attempted to create a timeslot content type in D7 and have the list of events display to the user. We used the Date, Date_Repeat API (part of Date), Date_Presets, and Calendar modules. Unfortunately, there is some type of issue and the repeated items are not displaying in the Calendar.
I believe the repeating dates are being saved appropriately. I just do not believe they are displaying properly. We are under a tight time crunch and just need to be able to get any type of resolution as quickly as possible.
Questions:
What we wanted to know was the following:
1) Is there a simple way to create a D7 View which will show the repeating dates? As long as we could query by day and get the items in a list it would be fine for us.
2) Assuming we can't get the date repeat api / views to work properly for us in D7, is there a way for to use the date field as time only without a specific date attached. This would allow us to create a content type which contains a day of week and a start time and end time. It seems that whenever we try to set up a date field, it requires the year at a minimum, so I don't know how we can get around this.
