Collections only show one instance of a recurring event

[cdw9]

What I did:

• create an event with recurrence
• create a collection, with the only criteria being to display items with type = event

What I expect to happen:

I expect the collection would display all occurrences of the event separately

What actually happened:

Only the one event is displayed

What version of Plone/ Addons I am using:

Tested on the Plone 5 and Plone 6 demos

There is a special event_listing view which includes the recurrences: https://github.com/plone/plone.app.event/blob/master/plone/app/event/browser/configure.zcml#L25

(Normally collections simply query the catalog and each result is a different content item. Event recurrences need to be queried in a different way.)

Yes, but if you want to build a custom listing based on some other condition, you can't do that TTW.

I realize this may be more of a feature request, but wanted to throw it out there.

@cdw9 It looks like the event_listing view implementation (https://github.com/plone/plone.app.event/blob/master/plone/app/event/browser/event_listing.py) has some code to use the query from a collection as the starting point for looking up the event recurrences. But, I haven't tried it myself.
