Event Repeat

rmiddle - June 16, 2006 - 15:10

UPDATE: Module ownership change. I have just taken ownership of this module on 2009/1/12 I will be cleaning up the queue and work through some of the open issues.

Note: I am working hard a getting this module ported to Drupal 6. But the upgrade is turning into a rewrite because the modules heavy dependence on num_row and a few other things. I wish I could give you an eta but at this point I have none I can give you.

Thanks
Robert

Eventrepeat enables the creation of repeating event patterns for node types that are event-enabled.

Event Repeat has the following features:

  • Basic repeat types of daily, weekly, monthly or yearly.
  • Repeating events limited by count or end date.
  • Optional advanced controls to add repeats by:
    • every other, every third, etc.
    • day of week per month
    • xth day of week per month
    • xth from last day of week per month
    • number of the day per month
    • number of the day in the year
    • week number
  • Exceptions

Eventrepeat's pattern creation was largely modeled on the iCal RRULE specification.  At this time, it should support all RRULE parameters, with the following exceptions:

  1. Recurrance periods less than DAILY
  2. BYDAY declarations greater than 5 and less than -5 (ex. 20th Monday of the year is not supported).  Other similar patterns can be built that should approximate this functionality.
  3. BYSETPOS parameter
  4. EXRULE parameter

Note:. This module deals with automatic creation, editing, and deletion of nodes - it is highly recommended that you run this module on a test site first!

Versions and Branches in progress:

  • 6.x-1.x - New version of eventrepeat that works with event.module 6.x-1.x. Please see http://drupal.org/node/236935 for more information about the history of this new version.
  • 5.x-2.x - New version of eventrepeat that works with event.module 5.x-2.x. This version uses datetime fields in the database instead of Unix timestamps. Please see http://drupal.org/node/132256 for more information about the history of this new version.
  • 5.x-1.1 - Planned release that will fix some of the basic bugs that exist with 1.0.

Issues

As with all contributed modules, when considering submitting an issue:

  1. Review the existing issues list. (Don't forget to select "<all>" for the "Status" field.)
  2. Gather all the appropriate information. This may include (but is not limited to):
    • Drupal version.
    • Browser type and version.
    • Database type and version.
    • Error messages, if any.
    • Module settings.
  3. Submit the issue. If other modules are involved, you may need to submit the issue to those modules as well.

PHP 4 and MySql 4

Due to end-of-life on PHP4 and MySql4, we no longer actively support either of those products. If a problem arises, we will make an effort to work around it, but will not make a guarantee. Drupal 7 will require PHP 5.2.5 or higher and MySql 5 (or Postgres 8); if your host is not at these levels yet, please encourage them to get there ASAP.

Update.php

As with all modules, please make sure you run update.php after updating this module, even if no updates are identified.

Development version status

The development versions (-dev) are where the newest stuff is, including any bug fixes and new features. We try to make sure it is tested before we commit anything, but occasionally a bug will get by us. Your help on testing this code is greatly appreciated. The translation templates may not always be up-to-date in the dev releases.

Current Features being tested in Development

Update.php required: No

  • TBD

Thanks
