Hi,

I am using ver. 3.2

I am usign the cal. with another perl program.
I want to make it so that if I add a recurring event (say every Fri) when I save the schedule it will go and create a file for every date for the recurring schedule. I know that would thus make it a non-ending loop, so possible make a recurring schedule for and create the file for year.

I can get it to create file in a static mode when you select each date. I can't get it to work using the from and to dates. I would like it to work for all of them.

Please HELP:

That has been discussed in the previous forum message "Recurring Events Display" and the messages link from it.

I don't think a solution was ever posted for it. TubaDave was thinking about trying to implement it before he disappeared (the second time     ) as you can read in "SplitRecurrences plugin".

If you're going to attempt to program it yourself, the following message might be of interest as well? "Bounded recurring events plugin?"

Dan,

Thanks for the quick response.

Before submiting my first post, I went through everything for resurring or scheduling.

I think I should define a litle better:

I have edited the EVENT.inc file to add a subroutine at the end that creates a new file (unrelated to the cal) in a seperate dir.

I think my question is this.

on the schedule_event_non_recur.html file where you select each dates for an "event" it works great for what we are doing.

><: after that there is the "Date Range" part.
Is there a way to get the days between the start and end date?
Lets say start is:06/10/03 end: 06/15/03 when I hit save it will go and say there are 5 individual dates, then run my sub-routine for each of the 5 days.

for the schedule_event_recurring.html:

for the recuring section:
BTW: I did like the "Bounded recurring events plugin?"
I understand it adds one "record" per "Event Title"
What I need is when it is using the EVENT.inc file it gets the date for "every fri" for the year 2003. then for every date it runs my sub-routine.

Mainly I need to create a new file for every date in a recuring schedule.

I hope this sheds some more light on what I am trying to do.

I just finished a plug-in which will convert all recurring events, events with multiple dates and events with a 'date range' to individual events so each is separately editable. It also has configuration variables to allow you to set how many days, months and years from present an un-bounded recurring event will be scheduled for.

You can read more about it in the previous forum message "SplitRecurrences plugin" (which I updated today).
