Re: smd_calendar: complete schedule / event / calendar / diary
Hmm. Are you trying to display the child events only? Or the tree with both the parent > child displayed?
And are these shown inside each relevant cell of the calendar in which the child events occurs, or are you displaying them as a list nearby for people to click on and show on the calender?

Re: smd_calendar: complete schedule / event / calendar / diary
Maybe I should mention I’m using smd_article_event to create a page of listings and NOT the calendar box.
I want to be able to show ALL child events in a category. I can successfully show individual child events in a category category.
Eg, Parent: Screenings (0 articles) Children: Just Released, Now Playing, Art House, For the Kids (Many articles)
Parent: Music (0 articles) Children: Rock, Hip Hop, Ska, Rick Rolls (Many articles)I have no problem displaying Just Released or Hip Hop, or displaying everything, but I can’t get it to display ‘Just Released, Now Playing, Art House, For the Kids’.
I use the the following to create the page of listings either for all events available and for all events in a category.
<txp:smd_article_event stepfield="custom_1" skipfield="custom_2"
omitfield = "custom_22" allspanned = "1" time = "future, today"
category = '<txp:category />' subcats='1' from = '<txp:variable name = "start" />'
to = '<txp:variable name = "end" />' limit="75">
<Display event code>
</smd_article_event>Offline

Okay, that’ll be why then. That tag doesn’t currently accept the subcats attribute, for reasons I cannot remember. If you stick your site in testing/debugging mode you should see the warning.
You can hack it with a little indirection though, by using the category_list tag to grab all the children and just slap that in the article_event tag. Assuming you’re on a page that has set the parent category context (e.g. Screenings, Music, …) then:
<txp:variable name="cats"><txp:category_list parent='<txp:category />' exclude children="1" break=","><txp:category title="0" /></txp:category_list></txp:variable>Will make you a variable containing a nice comma-separated list of subcats to plug into the category attribute of the plugin tag.
Hope that helps.
