Expression Engine Calendar using date field

Question

I'm building a site using the exp:channel:calendar tag and would like to use a date field to add entries to the calendar rather then the publish date for the entry. I can't find any talk of this anywhere, is it possible? How would I go about doing it?

Answer 1

Two options:

• Just move the Entry Date filed into your custom publish layout in place of your custom date field.
• Use the EEvent Helper add-on, which allows you to clone the value of a custom date field to the Entry Date when publishing or updating an entry.
