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...?

Cheers, 

Dominic
