Personally, I can work around this bug but I thought it would be good to have a specific posting of it.

date_repeat_api seems to be functioning fine for repeating nodes created with Drupal. Linked/imported iCal repeating events, on the other hand, are not. var_dump ($rrule); returns NULL for iCal and this for a repeating Drupal node:
array(5) { ["DATA"]=> string(53) "FREQ=WEEKLY;INTERVAL=1;UNTIL=20090114T060000Z;WKST=SU" ["FREQ"]=> string(6) "WEEKLY" ["INTERVAL"]=> string(1) "1" ["UNTIL"]=> array(3) { ["datetime"]=> string(19) "2009-01-14 06:00:00" ["all_day"]=> bool(false) ["tz"]=> string(3) "UTC" } ["WKST"]=> string(2) "SU" }.

DTSTART, DTEND & DURATION all seem to be parsing correctly on these repeated events using iCal. Which leads me to think that date_ical_parse_rrule is where RRULE variables are not being parsed properly.

I am currently using Drupal 5.12 with Calendar 5.x-2.x-dev (2008-Dec-05) and Date 5.x-2.x-dev (2008-Dec-08) on our test server using PHP4 and Calendar 5.x-2.5 and Date 5.x-2.x-dev (2008-Dec-08) on our public server using PHP5. I am getting the same issue on both.

Sorry, I can't follow this at all. Can you give me something specific I can try to replicate what you're seeing? And wrap your code with <code> tags so I can see it better. I think you're trying to give me an example, but I have no idea what you're trying to say I should do with it.

Happy New Year Karen,

Sorry if my issue explanation was confusing.
The following code is what is published for a repeating event tester iCalendar.

BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20090112T130000
SUMMARY:This event last an hour and repeats every monday
UID:3186B56F-4A9D-4665-BB2D-8235A0E9392C-5409A24C-B4BB-4D8C-B455-BB9710B
 DEC94
SEQUENCE:5
DTSTAMP:20090112T180745Z
RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;INTERVAL=1;COUNT=10
DURATION:PT1H
END:VEVENT

This is happening in version 5 and I know that version 6 has priority. I have just begun a trial update to drupal 6.x but have not yet been able to link published calendars. So, I am unable to confirm whether this is an issue for version 6 as well.
With the parsing fix that happened recently for the DURATION values, I was hoping that maybe this RRULE parsing issue could be solved by a similar solution. This is a continuing problem looking back at other posts. Where only the first day of a repetitive event shows up and none of the following events.
I tried a var_dump for $rrule and only received a repeating NULL value. What I'm not sure about is if $rrule is the element that holds the parsed RRULE data from iCal and how to discern whether the parsed data is not being placed in $rrule or just not being parsed correctly.

Does that make more sense? I thought by giving the code that iCal is publishing, the fact that DTSTART and DURATION appear (the first date of the repeating event) and that var_dump of $rrule displays NULL, you would be able to point me in the right direction or that it would assist you in solving this bug.

Thanks for your response.

I'm going to go ahead and close this issue Karen. It's been a year and I'm working in 6.x only now. Plus I have my hands full with other things that I have not gotten around to testing rrules yet. With version 7 just around the corner if this issue still exists its probably best to create a new ticket for it.

Happy Holidays
