no results on low events entries tag
I'm fairly confident this isn't user error.
I've got a site that's been using Solspace Calendar but they want something a little simpler and LE does just what we need.
The client's homepage has the ability to show 2 featured events (assigned using status)
I created a field group called Low events and assigned it to a Low events channel. I added 2 entries with a date of tomorrow (4th June) and 20th June and set 1 as 'open' and the other as 'featured'.
I then added low_events:entries tag to the homepage to replace Solspace
{exp:low_events:entries channel="low_events"}
{title}
{low_event_summary}
{/exp:low_events:entries}
Now - correct me if I'm wrong, but that code should return only the 'open' entry is that correct? If I wanted to show featured then I should add status="featured" as a parameter?
However, neither code block returns any events at all. My no_results conditional shows 'nothing to see'.
Looking at template debugging it does seem to pull the 2 entry ids
(0.169465 / 15.15MB) Calling Class/Method: Low_events/entries
(0.169637 / 15.15MB) -> Class Called: Low_events
(0.172863 / 15.33MB) -> Method Called: entries
(0.172958 / 15.34MB) Low Events: Working date set to 2013-06-03 13:48
(0.172989 / 15.34MB) Low Events: Unit: upcoming
(0.173849 / 15.34MB) Low Events: Setting fixed_order="1499|1500"
(0.173920 / 15.35MB) Low Events: Calling the channel module
(0.177361 / 15.37MB) Returning No Results Content
Where am I going wrong?

oh, should have mentioned the site in question is running EE 2.5.2

Correct, the template debugger says it found 2 entries. That's the entries that fall within the timeframe given in the Entries tag, in this case Upcoming entries from 2013-06-03 and onward.
The reason why you don't see them in the Entries tag, is most likely due to native filtering of the channel:entries module. This could be, as you correctly mentioned, Status. But also things like show_future_entries (if the entry's entry_date is in the future), show_expired, and other native parameters.
What are the entry properties and what happens if you add status="not closed" to the Entries tag?

ah - I had 'Overwrite entry and expiration dates' set to yes.
Reset that option and changed the expiry and entry dates appropriately and we're golden :-)

Good man. Best to leave that setting to No, unless you have good reason to.
