Calendar Module

Thanks for the great episode this week. This is exactly what I was looking for!

Nice work with the view and the calendar. I'm implementing it right now on a customers website... Thanks!

I really love your podcasts, but this one is a bit disappointing. It only scratches the very surface of Calendar and Date and you could go a bit more into detail. Moreover there are other podcasts e.g. at drupaltherapy.com that cover the same topic, it would be better to see new stuff instead of repeating what's been shown there already. To all those who are interested in setting up an event calendar, download the free chapter of "Using Drupal" at http://www.doitwithdrupal.com/files/u3/UsingDrupalch09.pdf - it covers all you need in detail

Hi Bob! This may sound a very silly question (and very out of scope) but how do you manage to keep your voice so perfectly sync with the video? I'm using camtasia studio 5 and I just can't handle to do that correctly :( Thanks in advance!! Keep up the good work :)

Thanks for the link to the Drupal Therapy video. The thing about searching for Drupal tutorials is that it becomes a Google Easter egg hunt to find good ones. There might be some duplication but there isn't any harm in that, I've searched many times for Drupal tutorials and never came across the tutorial you posted. I come here because the videos are short and there's a lot of info contained in them that you can come back to. Plus the site is easy to navigate which I can't say for a lot of tutorial sites out there.

Hey Stefan... Thanks for the feedback on the podcast. My goal is to keep things simple and respond to some requests when people ask. I had a few folks asking how to setup a simple calendar using these modules, so I demo'd that. I am not trying to replace what other podcasts are doing, since many of them are excellent and go much more in depth than this one. My goal is always to keep it simple for those just beginning to use Drupal. Thanks for watching!

Well Bob, I understand your point, but in this cast I think you kept it too simple. There is not really much you can do alone after you just watch this particular screencast. I liked the other ones more as I could directly try the same on my website. With this one I think a beginner would still be far away from setting up an event block or something like that. Anyway I love the rest of your podcasts, they were a big help to understand Drupal and a lot of modules.

Hi Bob Loving your podcasts. You usually mention that you'd like to hear from the viewers regarding ideas for potential episodes. Not specific to Drupal, but one topic I'd like some guidance on is picking a colour palette for a site. I like to build themes based on Zen or similar, but I always find the most difficult part to be finding a small but effective palette of colours. I know that color module exists, but I wonder if you have any advice on finding / selecting pairs of colours that work together. Cheers Paul

Great podcasts Bob! I followed exactly what you did here but I only have one problem when I get to change the date arguments to set from Node: Update date to Content: Date (field_date value). I get this error: An error occurred at /admin/build/views/ajax/config-item/calendar/default/argument/date_argument. Am I missing something or did I do something wrong? Btw, I just updated to Drupal 6.10 from 6.9.

thanks for the info, that's a good recipe for an events calendar

I just want to say Thanks for your Videos! I am working with Drupal right for now nine months and your video-podcasts helped me a lot to start and work with Drupal! BTW ... A interesting Topic for me would be a Videocast with the RULES MODULE. Is there a chance, that you will show one soon? Greetings from Germany!

Hi guys, The Calendar and the Date module have been updated and this example isn't working any more with the new versions... http://drupal.org/node/386296 Regards, Lars Hansen

Hi there Bob, Thanks for all your teaching. Great Work! Keep it up! :) Just one question, I've tried to read everything to get my Event info to popup in the Calendar view, like in the end of your video. How or where do you get the event info to Popup? Thanks for all the great videos Regards Gunter S

Hey i want to thank you for the efort on this podcast, they had been really helpfully to me and my coworkers. By the way Bob!! you looks so much like Fred Durst from Limp Bizkit!!

Thanks for this tutorial, very nice as always!

Hey Bob, I have a podcast suggestion. How about teaching about OG specially integrating it with blogs and forums Thanks

yes i tries this step by step in 6 in mamp and did it twice even wiping out the db and starting over, its not showing up in the caledar, the one that is live i used sean eiffels rom drupal therapy http://www.drupaltherapy.com/comment/reply/76 but i like the pop up calendar and he didnt have it. Please assist with wnything call lisa in chicago if you are inclined 773-384-3568 this is depressing and i have an open mind thank you.

I did everything exactly as you did in the video and the Event will not display in the calendar!! Help!

Hi Bob, How are "events" like Bible studies handled? For example, meets every Thursday pm@6 except July 4th week and ends the last Thur. in August. Ideally, a group leader could edit the date expression and add exceptions. Is there a way to do this? Thanks Rich

Recurring events are now built into the date module download. Just grab the latest Date module and check the module list your site for recurring events. It'll allow users to check all recurring rules and then it creates nodes for each event. Good luck!

Hey Bob, When I change my argument to the from date for my content type, the event is no longer displayed in my Calendar view. However, when I leave turn it back to the posted date argument, the event does appear in the Calendar view, obviously on the wrong day. Can you think what would cause this?
