Sorry I should have been clearer, by shows I did mean events and by archives I meant the additional page types this extension adds:
http://github.com/mghaught/radiant-page-event/tree/master/app/models/ e.g. event_archive_page.rb, event_month_index_page.rb, event_day_index_page.rb etc I understand I can list all future events, I also understand I can have a calendar but you can reveal more detailed event information in a list (a short description, content parts etc). I'd like to be able to have a *list* of all upcoming events but scoped to a certain month or a certain day. I saw that this could be done manually with the <r:events:in_range:each start="yyyy/mm" finish="yyyy/mm"> tag for each month but it would get impossible to manage on a more granular level for each day of the year. As I saw this extension added additional page types I simply wanted to know if anyone knew how they worked and what they added; they don't seem to alter the calendar behaviour and my first thought was that they would organise events by year/month/day just like the archive extension does for blog pages. I've just been poking around with it some more and it seems that the 'event month index page' does seem to have gained at least some of this functionality. <r:archive:children:each><r:link /><br /></r:archive:children:each> This seems to list events starting in the month (defined by url) but only events starting in that month and not events that carry over from the end of the previous month, those are only listed on the month they started - I'm not sure of its functionality.... I'm confused at to what these additional page types actually do...?
