I have a view that I am using to list events, specifically "today's events." it was relatively easy to create it, say that I want it to sort by time, but what I am wondering, is how can I filter it to only show events that are happening on the day that it is displaying. I am using the date module's CCK in order to create the date. I would assume that I would use the date start time, but I can't figure out how to filter that start date.

Filter by the start date with granularity of day. When you setup the filter, you can specify operator Is equal to and in the Date default field use the keyword now to default to the current date at runtime.

What if I want to say "only display the view at all if there is no event
now"?– EphraimCommented Aug 10, 2011 at 14:57 -
Do you mean you want to display a message when the view is empty/returns no matches?– nmcCommented Aug 10, 2011 at 15:01

well I want to have two views. I want to have one that only displays "today's events", and if there are no events today, than I want to have a view that displays "upcoming events"– EphraimCommented Aug 10, 2011 at 15:03
