Event Repeat

About this module

Event Repeat enables the creation of repeating event patterns for node types that are event-enabled. It does this by creating one or more copies of the original event node.

This module depends on the Event module.

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, to make sure it does for you what you think it does!

Event Repeat has the following features:

• Basic repeat types of daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly events.
• Repeating events limited by number 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

Pattern creation methodology

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

• Recurrance periods less than DAILY
• 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.
• BYSETPOS parameter
• EXRULE parameter

Branches and versions

The current intention is to create a working, stable(-ish) Drupal 6 release for the sole purpose of moving to a Drupal 7 and then Drupal 8 version.

(The current plan for the Drupal 7 release is to base it on the Eventity sandbox project, which has the goal of merging back into Event.)

To that end, no version before the 6.x-1.x branch is officially supported, but they are available for your use. Also, there will be no follow up on issues for either the 4.7.x or the 5.x branches.
