  I've installed,configured and posted events in PostCalendar however it does not display Today's Events or Upcomming Events in the block it just say none. Also there seems to be a problem with the date. At around 6:00 PM EST the calendar jumps to the next day.
  
  Any help would be appreciated,
  Bill

  Hey, you probably havent approved the events yet. Go to administration and then there will be a PostCalendar icon in the control panel.... Get it?
  
  As for the date problem... Cant tell you whats goin on there :)
  
  Cheers,

  All right I got you, it just seems a little redundent that an administrator should have to approve his own scheduled events.
  
  Thanks,
  Bill

  You should be able to add without approval by going to the main page of calendar...there should be an ADD tab
  
  Click on the Month you want to add to...when not lgged in as Admin the tabs usually read DAY/WEEK/MONTH/YEAR/SEARCH, when logged in as Admin hey should read ADD/DAY/WEEK/MONTH/YEAR/SEARCH, at least that is how i remember it, but it has been awhile

  I need to make to correction to my response. I've checked my scheduled events and found that there were approved. So I'm back to my original question; why aren't my events being displayed in Today's Events or Upcoming Events. Does it have something to do with the fact that these events are re-occurring?
  
  Thanks,
  
  Bill

  sigh. Yeah, Postcalendar is telling me its tomorrow, right now. ugh. any idea why the calendar would jump ahead a day? this totally screws up how i need to use it. Saw another site that had the wrong dat today too. This is a major problem for a CALENDAR!
  
  also, HTML img tags in an evnt are showing up as raw text, ven if i choose as HTML, as other tags like bold work. Strange thing is: when i use the hover in a month view to see the event, the img is rendered as HTML.
  
  anybody willing to provide a bit of support?

  Hmmmm.... does the date change have anything to do with your time zone offset in postnuke settings? Mine has not jumped forward. Just a thought. I'm no expert.

  Well, changing my server offset back to Greenwich Mean Time from my own timezone has made PostCalendar act correctly for now, and I'll be watching at midnight to see if it changes correctly. But isn't changing my server offset going to mess something else up? Like dates of posting stories in other modules and such? or is EVERYTHING based off of the user's computer's time?
  
  and I'm perplexed about the image tag issue. Is this a bug in all PostCalendar installs? Can you use image tags in an event description saved as HTML and have it display in the detailed event view? see my site here and hover over the music test event and you see the image appears:
  
  http://blankbadge.com/pn/
  
  now click the event and view the detail page.
  raw HTML is displayed as text, but only for the image tag. all other HTML tags are rendered as HTML. what?!? I want to put images in my event descriptions. why is this not working?
  
  Also notice how the hover over the calendar block in the right sidebar shows ARRAY[duration_hours]:ARRAY[duration_minutes] instead of the actual data. sigh. Is this an unfixed common bug too or is something weird on my end? Most functions seem to work correctly....

  Alright guys here's an update:
  
  1st issue: I found that the time zone being set incorrectly was causing the day to advance hours earlier. duh...
  
  2nd issue: The reason why Today's and Upcoming Event were not being displayed is because of this piece of code in both todays_events.html and upcoming_events.html files:
  
  [-if $eventcount < $DISPLAY_LIMIT-]
  
  I could not find any place where the $DISPLAY_LIMIT was being set, therefore I removed this bit of code and it's corresponding [-/if-] statment and all my event are being displayed properly. I still need to dig a little deeper to figure out where I can set this value, I can see this becoming a problem if I have a large number of Upcoming events to be displayed.

  yeah,messing with teh server offeset seems to have fixed PostCalendar for me too. Pagesetter is listing my edit times as the unadjusted server time though... sigh.
  
  And the image thing is bizarre. can someone please verify that it is impossible to display image tags in HTML event details?
  
  It seems that what is outputting it escapes all the HTML entities into < and such rather than showing it as actual HTML, though it doesnt escape the other HTML entities. very weird.
  
  and the way that that field is called for the popup clearly handles the input a bit different as it doesnt escape the entities but inputs the same field data, so something is happening in a function I can't figure out yet. I can show some of the relevant code to someone that is willing to figure out what is going on.
