'Predict' recurrences on calendar

[kkmax]

Not sure how recurring task plugin really works. I'm Able to add recurrence to issues but that is not showing in calender. I'm on bitnami windows stack and was able to successfully install the 1.3.0 version except configuration part which says setting up Cronjob. I'm not sure how to set it up in bitnami stack on windows. Kindly advise how to configure on bitnami windows environment..

And thanks a lot for this plugin.

Await your reply, Kamal

Predicting recurrences could be implemented as a per-task setting for items that recur on a fixed schedule and are cloned (not re-opened) where it will create recurrences in advance. So if a task recurs weekly, there would have a setting that says how many weeks in the future to open tasks. This will allow future work to be reflected on the calendar and elsewhere.

"if a task recurs weekly, there would have a setting that says how many weeks in the future to open tasks" Is this feature available in the current version? Please let me know, I really want this feature badly to capture the team's availability 2-3 weeks in advance.

If this is not available, can I modify some setting or code to blanket change how many days ahead the tasks will be opened for all recurring tasks?

@ssandeep Right now the task opens as soon as the previous one has closed, or on a fixed schedule.

Recurrences are added in the recur_issue_if_needed! method in the RecurringTask model if you want to play around with it there. Specifically deciding whether to add a recurrent issue is in the need_to_recur? method; one option would be that you can add a setting for the number of days in advance to open an issue on a fixed schedule.
