Repeating entries don't appear in Upcoming Events.
-
Not sure if this is a bug, or working as designed. If I have an event that occurs for multiple days, it only appears in the upcoming events on the first day.
My preferred choice would be to have the event appear on each day of the repeating event. Is there a setting I can flip so this happens?
-
@Cliff365 is this using the default calendar module?
-
@sdetweil Yes, it’s the default module.
-
@Cliff365 we only display the start date/time. and tomorrow we will display nth day of list, and the next day shows nth+1. we WILL NOT display today start AND tomorrow AND the next all at once
-
@sdetweil That’s what I suspected. FWIW, in my case it would be extremely helpful for the repeating entry to appear for each day the appointment repeats.
-
@Cliff365 it would take recoding the module to make the additional entries appear.
I would look to other modules that provide that support -
@Cliff365 Just so I understand correctly: You want a multi-day event, like a holiday, appear for every upcoming day?
You could consider using the daily view of the calendar, there your event would be split into days. Maybe it helps?IIRC it is the
timeFormat: 'dateheaders'option in the config"timeFormat Display event times as absolute dates, or relative time, or using absolute date headers with times for each event next to it Possible values: absolute or relative or dateheaders Default value: relative" -
@lavolp3 This might help. We use a calendar to let the kids know it is their turn to clean the recroom on a weekend. So ‘Tommy-Recroom’ appears in upcoming events for Friday. If Tommy forgets on Friday, his alert is now gone. To compensate for that, I have to enter Tommy for Friday, Saturday, Sunday so his name stays on upcoming events.
In my case, it would be fantastic if a single ‘Tommy-Recroom’ appeared on a recurring event for that day.
Does that make sense now?
-
@Cliff365 in the default calendar you can do
sliceMultiDayEvents: true
this will separate each day of multi day into separates…
but now you will have the opposite problem…
one event with recurring for f/s/s will be 3 events. 1 for each day -
@sdetweil I’ll give that a try. That might just work for my situation. Thanks!
