Im on D7. I have been pulling my hair out trying to get this working.
Im using these modules:
I have tried to use the calendar dev version but I get the same problem.
When ever I try and create a calendar view, all I see is a blank calendar. Meaning nothing shows up in the calendar cells even though I have fields assigned. I am "Adding a view from template" and selecting the template that has my date field (I have also tried the one that uses the content creation date, but no luck). Has anyone else had this problem? Why would it not be working? I can make a view of a simple list of nodes that have the date field, so why not a calendar view?
Here is my view:
