  1. Creates calendar displays of Views results.
  2. Create a new calendar by enabling or cloning the default calendar,
  3. changing the date argument to use the correct date field(s), and setting
  4. up the year, month, day, week, and block views with the desired styles
  5. and fields.
  6. If the Calendar iCal module is enabled, an iCal feed can be
  7. attached to the view.
  8. For a quick and easy start, install the Date Tools module, then use
  9. the Date Tools Wizard to create a content type with a date field
  10. and a calendar that displays that field, all in a single step!
  11. NOTES WHEN SWITCHING FROM 7.2 to 7.3
  12. The views created in the 7.2 version of Calendar won't work in 7.3
  13. because all the handlers have changed. If you are using the default
  14. view, you will need to revert it to pick up the changes.
  15. If you have calendars that were created by the Date Tools module, they are
  16. default views. Go to each one and revert them so they pick up the new code.
  17. If you are using custom (non-default) views it will probably be easier to
  18. delete them and just start over than to try to find all the places where the
  19. plugins and handlers need to be altered. Start with the new default
  20. calendar (after reverting it so any previous changes have been
  21. removed). Then clone it and make the following changes:
  22. - In the 'Fields' section, remove the node updated date and add your calendar date.
  23. - Click on each display (Year, Month, Day, Week, Block) and edit the contextual
  24. filter for the display. Uncheck the node updated date in the list of date fields
  25. and check instead the date you want to use in the calendar.
  26. - Click on the Upcoming display and edit the filter. Uncheck the node updated date
  27. and check instead the date you want to use in the calendar.
  28. - If you have the iCal module enabled, click on the iCal display. Edit the
  29. Row plugin settings and select the date field you want to use in the iCal feed.
  30. After you have made these changes, go to the Views Tools tab and clear the Views
  31. caches. Also go to admin/config/regional/settings, make sure the right
  32. first day of the week is selected, and resubmit that page even if you
  33. don't make any changes. That step is to fix a bug that might have set that date
  34. to the wrong value.
  35. After that your new views should work correctly and you can try out the
  36. new settings to make whatever additional changes you like.
