Trouble in displaying the Special Block in Exponential 4.0.1

I try to create a Special Block in Exponential 4.0.1.

I used inserted in block.ini

AllowedTypes[]=EventCalendar

[EventCalendar]
Name=EventCalendar (Manual)
NumberOfValidItems=1
NumberOfArchivedItems=1
ManualAddingOfItems=enabled
ViewList[]=EventCalendar
ViewName[EventCalendar]=EventCalendar

and also specied the tpl in override.ini.append.php

[block_event_calendar]
Source=block/view/view.tpl
MatchFile=block/event_calendar.tpl
Subdir=templates
Match[type]=EventCalendar
Match[view]=event_calendar

But it created the block. But it is not showing the block content.

it shows

Block: EventCalendar (Manual)
Annual Day Event Calendar..

instead of showing the calendar it shows only the block name and event name. What I have to do? I would like to show the event calendar on the front page itself.

Thanking you

Try this:

[block_event_calendar]
Source=block/view/view.tpl
MatchFile=block/event_calendar.tpl
Subdir=templates
Match[type]=EventCalendar
Match[view]=EventCalendar

Note that:
Match[view] equal to the name of ViewList[]
ViewList[]=EventCalendar

I usually use this way:

AllowedTypes[]=EventCalendar

[EventCalendar]
Name=EventCalendar (Manual)
NumberOfValidItems=1
NumberOfArchivedItems=1
ManualAddingOfItems=enabled
ViewList[]=eventcalendar
ViewName[eventcalendar]=Display Event Calendar... writting in natural language

[block_event_calendar]
Source=block/view/view.tpl
MatchFile=block/event_calendar.tpl
Subdir=templates
Match[type]=EventCalendar
Match[view]=eventcalendar

I hope that you can find the exactly name to use in right location... good luck!
