How To Configure Every 30 Days On Day Of Week #449
This is a bizarre one. I've been using this extension for a while and absolutely love it but my city has changed the schedule in a bizarre way. They don't tell you X number of days/weeks for one particular type of pickup, but it appears to be something like every 30 days on your "trash day", which for me is Wednesday.
For example, the "large item" day for the first part of 2023 (on Wednesday each time):
Jan 11
Feb 15
Mar 15
Apr 12
And I can't figure any way to make this work or how to really describe other than something like: the first Wednesday every 30 days, which does't equate to any formula:
Can't be every-n-days because you cannot select a day of the week
Can't be every-n-weeks because you can select the day but 30 days doesn't equate to whole number of weeks. I tried to enter 4.29 as the number of weeks since that's what 30 days equates to, and it populates the first one but none after (not that I expected this to work anyway)
Can't be monthly because it's not the X week of the month, it's 30 days
I don't know that the current release has any way to support this strange schedule but thought I would ask anyway to see if there was a way to do this other than hand creating each pickup each month outside of the extension (now that we can). Any suggestions?
This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had any activity in last 30 days. It will be closed in 5 days if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.
