Recurring event dates
I'm trying to set up a re-occurring event for each weekend.
I've set up the event to show up every week on Saturday and Sunday. However I have the following issues.
It lists the event on each day separately which is ok but it has the end date for each of them as the end date that is set in the date and times. If I don't set an end date it does not show the events.
An event to be displayed this weekend shows the following on it's dates. Aug. 16, 2014 - Aug. 24, 2020 Aug. 17, 2014 - Aug. 24, 2020
Ideally I'd like each event to list its own dates, so each day of the event this weekend would show Aug. 16, 2014 - Aug. 17, 2014 then the weekend after would show it's own dates.
It may be better if in the settings for recurring events that it had it's own start and end date that is not displayed, to set how long the reoccurring events should be created for and no dates were needed in the "Date and Time" section.
Can you please replicate the issue on my demo site? http://modules.unclecheeseproductions.com/admin/pages (admin/password)
I've added a test event with a start and end date for next weekend that should reoccur every weekend. I can't view it to test though as the page has an error http://modules.unclecheeseproductions.com/calendar/. If it only shows for the one date then a longer end date needs to be set.
I created a feed on your test site, the ics feed is from google calendar. Only 1 event is displayed, also there's other events, that are not displayed and they are also recurring events. In fact event_calendat display only the 1st event from the feed. For that 1st event, there's a link displayed "Add this to Calendar" is going to 404 not found...
Recurring events in ics feeds are not expanded; the RRULE is just not parsed in ICSReader.php.
What about using a different iCal parser, one that can be managed as a dependency with composer? I can't find a version of ICSReader.php hosted by the original author @aidanlister. Using https://github.com/johngrogg/ics-parser, though, we can have recurrences automatically expanded (with exceptions handled) with minimal modification to Calendar::getFeedEvents(). Also, one less local version of a utility file to maintain.
I'd be happy to put together a PR.
Weird that my original seems to have disappeared, I don't remember removing it. Here's a copy though:
