I've installed and configured the Event and EventRepeat modules. I can create an event and schedule it daily/weekly/etc, but when I try to set the interval to 2 or more and repeat type weekly it won't work. If I set the repeat type to daily and the interval to 3 it works as expected (every 3 days).

I haven't selected any of the other advanced fields (they don't seem to help). Is there a special combination of fields that I need to schedule an event for every 3 weeks? I may just be missing something, but I spent a long time trying to get it to work and ended having heaps of duplicates/etc to remove over and over...

Drupal 4.7.6 with latest event/repeat modules from today.

If someone could give me an example of how it should work that would be great.

Thanks, Mark.

Hey mrp40,

I just updated both eventrepeat and event to latest 4.7 (4.7-2.x and 4.7 respectively) and I was able to create a repeating event that occurs every third week.

To clarify, when you say it doesn't work, what exactly do you mean? Are there no events that are created? Are there too many events that are created?

Thanks for looking at this Sean.

I create an event, specify the repeat type as weekly and set the interval to 3 (see screenshot attached), hit submit and it creates an event on the day/time that I specified for the event. But it doesn't create any other nodes/content after that. Nothing else appears on the calendar or under the admin/content menu.

I suspect that I may just be missing a part of the concept, but I don't know.

If you are able to create events that repeat every three weeks what combination of fields do you actually use to achieve this? Do they all come up on the calendar immediately? Or are they supposed to only appear after the previous one has expired or something like that?

Thanks,
Mark

I just found that when I edited the above event and set the interval to 2 it made no difference. But when I set the interval to 1 it worked as expected (created 12 nodes all up, for each subsequent week).

The same thing happens if I create a new event repeating weekly with the interval set to one.

It looks like you have that set up correctly. Can you do me another favor and post a screenshot of your debug page (administer > settings > eventrepeat > debug repeat events).

I've got a problem with getting it to repeat 1st Friday of every month (on 5). Looking through the issue queues there seems a clear split between people with problems and others not - and I'm wondering if it's those of us with non-US dates who have the problems?

In my case I chose Monthly Repeating, 1st Friday of every month. The debug row shows:
05/11/2007 - 11:59pm 01/01/2008 - 11:59pm 01/01/2008 - 11:59pm 0 Council Meeting 2 0 MONTHLY BYDAY=1FR

ie largely correct - with an event count of 2 - I _actually_ have an event every single day!!!!

I tried taking the reset option - no change.

Thanks for the info. That's actually a likely cause. I know that GMT +0 or higher has caused some issues also. I'll try to do a full test to get this sorted out over the weekend.

seanbfuller commented

I tried to reproduce this last weekend with no success. To make sure, I just grabbed a whole new drupal 5.1, event5 and eventrepeat5 and tried to reproduce this, again with no luck. My tests used GMT +2.

Here's an additional question that I may have already asked in other issues:

Do the two of you have Configurable time zones enabled?

mrp40’s picture

mrp40 commented

Damn I wish there were email notifications on updates for these issues!

Anyway, in answer to your question, I have tried with configurable timezones both on and off, with no difference. My default timezone is +12.

I have created some events that should be repeated every 4 weeks (for a roster of 4 crews, 1 per week). Here is the output of the debug screen:

rid 	Repeat Start	Repeat End	Last Rendered	Est Next Date	Title	Current Count	Count Remaining	RRULE
10	28/05/2007 - 23:59	0	01/01/1970 - 00:00	Tue, 13/03/2007 - 11:59	Green Crew Duty	1	51	WEEKLY INTERVAL=4
11	27/05/2007 - 19:00	0	27/05/2007 - 23:59	Tue, 05/06/2007 - 11:59	Blue Crew Duty	1	0	WEEKLY INTERVAL=4
12	03/06/2007 - 19:00	0	03/06/2007 - 23:59	Tue, 12/06/2007 - 11:59	Red Crew Duty	1	0	WEEKLY INTERVAL=4

There are some wacky dates/times there considering these are the events I created:
Green Crew Duty
Start: 21/05/2007 - 07:00
End: 28/05/2007 - 07:00

Blue Crew Duty
Start: 28/05/2007 - 07:00
End: 04/06/2007 - 06:59

Red Crew Duty
Start: 04/06/2007 - 07:00
End: 11/06/2007 - 06:59

Another issue is that I updated the Green Crew Duty event and set the "count" field to "--Select--" and it's still appearing as 51 in debug info.

Is there any more info that I can get you? I could export the applicable DB tables for you if you want??

Thanks,
Mark

Let me do another round of testing over the weekend with +12 and see if I can reproduce.

I am using:

Event 5.x-1.x-dev (2007-Jun-09)
Event Repeat 5.x-1.x-dev (2007-Jun-07)

I am having similar problems: I can't get a weekly event to repeat with an interval - I'm trying every other week.

Suggestions?

Should I create a new issue?

Thanks!

I have the same problem, configurable time zones enabled, timezone: +2.

Any progress?
I switched to Calendar, but no luck there, as recurring events are not implemented in Date.
So I need Eventrepeat. Unfortunatelly, I need just this kind of recurrence...
Sean, I hope you can devote some attention to this one, and effortlessly find the solution!

seanbfuller commented

I've spent some time with this, but I haven't had much luck. Unfortunately, nothing with eventrepeat is effortless. I hope to have some time this week to deep dive in there and figure this out.

This issue is really stopping this module from being useful for event repeats. Are there any developments in this area? Thanks.

bigbman’s picture

bigbman commented

Not working at all on 5.x. I am using a specified timezone, which may be screwing it up. I've enabled eventrepeat for regular event types and generic node types - all calendar visibility settings are correct. When I try to schedule a bi-weekly meeting, ending the following month (December), the event only shows up for the first occurence.

What's going on with this?

Question: is it bad to just enable repeating events for the "event" node type? I've tried it that way and with generic nodes - none work.

Any progress? I am having a similar problem. I try to schedule an event for the 3rd Wednesday of each month. What I get is that event scheduled for the remaining Wednesdays in that month and nothing else. The following is from the Repeating Events Debug section.

MONTHLY INTERVAL=3 BYDAY=WE BYMONTH=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12

The weeks are rolling by and this issue isn't fixed. Is there any chance of this happening or is this module going to be useless for repeating events on an interval basis?

I totally just took it out of my site. Damn shame...

My apologies for not being able to get a successful fix for this. I haven't had the time to devote to this for the last few months and there haven't been any patches submitted against this. I'll see what I can do about getting some time as the holidays approach.

Thanks Sean, I understand the time constraints. I know there would be a lot of appreciative people if you get this working. Sorry I can't contribute a patch, unfortunately not my area of expertise.

I too will have some time to look at this issue with the holidays coming up. I need this feature and have no problem putting some time towards it. I am somewhat new to Drupal development so I may not be of any help, but I will try.

How about making this a GHOP task? Those kids are geniuses and work very quickly. It may be worth posting this bug on there.

I'm having a similar issue with making bi-weekly events. The first one shows up, but the others don't. Any update would be greatly appreciated. Using the 5.x-1.0 version.

I have the same problem as well. Everything is fine with the basic setting. But it seems nothing is working on the advanced setting. Even I tried an event repeated once a few days and bi-weekly event. They didn't work. The attachment is the setting I had.

Same problem here, the advanced repeat functions don't appear to be working, at least when using "every other."

Duplicate to what? Can you post a link to the issue this is a duplicate of so we can take a look?

I got here from this issue (http://drupal.org/node/133263) which say that was a duplicate of this.

I agree this issue seems to be three years old. Is there someone that can post a solution to this? It is key to my project.
