I'm having a problem with editing a date within a set of recurring dates.
For example, if I set staff meetings to be recurring for every Tuesday and Thursday, this is no problem. The calendar reflects perfectly these dates. What it doesn't reflect is the change I make to just one date for the message. Say, if I call off a meeting for that date. Instead of my message being applied to just that date, it is applied to all of the dates.
Also, I don't understand from the fields in the database where an edit in the message like this is stored and distinquished from the other dates. Could someone please tell me how this is supposed to work?
I don't think you can edit it like that at the moment. The mod only sets the day once and it recurs... changing it would mean all recurring dates after it would have to change... it's the only thing that makes it different to entering the event for every day its on seperately
I suppose you could change it then change it again after the date. I guess the easiest way at the moment would be to add a note to the topic and get people to subscribe to it... either that or get coding and mod the mod I doubt it'd be a major job as the db does store seperate entries for each occurence of the event.
Me too! I think a MOD to a MOD is in order here. I created two extra fields in the CAL_EVENTS table. I don't think it will be too terrible difficult to achieve. The Calendar is a really nice MOD. It just needs some help here and there!
the only real problem I can see you running into is probably the same reason its not yet an option... how are you going to select which date(s) you change? if you have 100 recurring entries thats a lot to trawl through... perhaps seperate by month or have some sort of date search?
