Recurring events? #10

Closed Egmund closed 2 years ago

Egmund commented 2 years ago

Is there any way to have / create recurring events in fullcalendag? Alternatively; is there an easy way to duplicate events? I am used to the Drupal 7 calendar, wherein I could have recurring events.

@Egmund the Fullcalendar module does not create anything, it's just a module to display existing Dates.

I am used to the Drupal 7 calendar, wherein I could have recurring events.

Neither does the Drupal Calendar module create any events - it's the Date module, that provides the fields. And the fields are attached to nodes.

You possibly search for https://backdropcms.org/project/repeating_dates.

Thank you for the quick response. I did just install the 'repeating date' module, but am struggling with getting a repeated date show in the calendar (view). Any hints?

Possibly because it's not a core Date field type, but a custom one? Never tried a combination of repeating_dates and fullcalendar. Maybe the maintainer can help here, pinging @laryn

The module will likely need to be adapted to work with the new repeating date type. I support that in theory but am not sure when I can look into adding it to this module -- a PR would be accepted if someone wants to give a shot!

I took a look recently, but it's probably easier to start fresh. Support for additional date fields as well as updating the library (currently legacy 1.5) would be a lot of work. Fullcalendar (module) with all its settings and submodules and whistles and bells is daunting.

@Egmund if you're adventurous .... I started working on a new module that is way simpler, but supports more date (field) types: Fullcalendar Views NG (Caution, Friday afternoon code :wink: Don't test on production sites.)

@laryn If you're interested in enhancing Fullcalendar legacy module, have a look at how the other one handles different date types.

I would be very interested in testing, but do not know how to install from github.

It's not tricky, GitHub also provides zip files, I updated the readme with instructions. If you're running into trouble open an issue in the fullcalendar_views queue.

Egmund commented 2 years ago

Thank you. I did not se the zip file before. Installed & I will play around.

indigoxela commented 2 years ago

I think, this issue could get closed. A new module is now available, that is able to display events from repeating_dates (fullcalendar_views).

Egmund commented 2 years ago

Indeed. & thank you for all this work. Now BackdropCMS is, for me, as useful as Drupal 7
