Add 'Recurring Event' badge to distinguish recurring events #3139

Open natebyerley opened 8 months ago

natebyerley commented 8 months ago

This is a low priority feature request, and is worthy of discussion. I would bundle this request in with other feature changes around events/calendar widget in the future.

Motivation

If website visitor uses calendar widget to filter for events, they are unable to see if an event is recurring - recurring and one-time events appear identical.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It may be helpful for website visitors to know that an event that appears only once in a view is actually a recurring event.

Proposed Resolution

Rather than list all recurring dates as an indicator of recurring status, client idea was to add a badge to indicate that an event was recurring.

This is definitely an interesting idea to consider, but personally I think I would prefer to use additional text to present recurrence information in a similar way to Google Calendar, Outlook, or other calendar apps. See https://github.com/az-digital/az_quickstart/issues/2028#issuecomment-1329854432.

@bberndt-uaz - I'm open to your suggestion above - mimicking how Outlook handles recurrence.
