It was a new recurring (actually a date range) event added after I installed version 1.31029 of the plugin.  I tried editing the time for the event after the event was entered, and it gave me double entries (the original event and time, and another entry for the same event with the new time) in the calendar.

I'm sorry but I can't duplicate that malfunction. Maybe you could set the $verbose variable
at the top of the after_schedule_event.pl file to 1 and record the messages which are
printed out after editing an event?

Are any files duplicated in the Split Recurring plug-in's directory??

Are you using any other plug-in?

Did you add any additional plug-ins at the same time when you upgrade this one?

The Split Recurring is the only plugin that I'm using (first version 1.30701 and then version 1.31029 added)...

Perhaps I'm not using it "correctly", though--what I was trying/hoping to do was to edit the schedule of all the dates that had been entered as a date range (without have to change each schedule separately).  For instance, I selected the first date of the range, clicked on the schedule button, edited the time, and then selected the same date range as when it was originally entered...when I do that, the plugin modifies the schedule for the first instance of the date range but creates duplicates (basically new events) of all the other events in the range.  

Is is possible to edit the schedule of a date range and have it update all the dates in the range using the new version of the plugin (and do that for all related events), or can you only edit the "Title" and "Description" for all related events in a date range?  

It appears that in order to make changes to the schedule for a related event that each event must be still be edited singly as in version 1.30701.  Right?

** Is is possible to edit the schedule of a date range and have it update all the [events] **

No, the schedules are all separate.

You can edit the event details of any one of the converted events or all of them
as a group. Or you can delete one or all of the converted events.

If you need to change the schedules of all previously converted events, you'll have
to delete them (the plug-in will help with that) and then re enter them with the correct schedule data.
You should however be able to edit the individual event's schedules on a one by one basis.

Maybe that might be a possibility for future updates to the plug-in but the main request
was to be able to change the details or delete them singularly.

Dan, thanks for your help and the great plugin for CalendarScript--I'll be looking forward to those future updates!

I just downloaded the latest version of SplitRecurrences and installed in into the Plugins folder under SplitEvents. I uploaded them in ASCII format and they have the same permissions as all of my other calendar files. I enabled the Plugin in the Admin section, but nothing seems to be happening. I tried adding recurring events, bounded and unbounded, but I never get the edit_all_events.html or delete_all_events.html templates to show up, which means the program isn't working for me.

Do you know what might be stopping the plugin from running? I don't get any error messages at all. Is there anyway I can check to see if it's running and just not doing anything?

Any help will be *greatly* appreciated!

You will only get those screens if you choose to edit or delete an event which has been previously
converted by the script.

** Is there anyway I can check to see if it's running and just not doing anything? **

If you keep the $verbose variable set to 1, the plug-in will display user messages at the top
of the screen for each of the actions it performs after adding a recurring or 'date span'
event. If it converts a lot of them, the users messages could take most of the screen.

You could also add the line:
&addUserMessage("I got here!");
right after the line
sub after_schedule_event() {
in the after_schedule_event.pl file.

You should also be able to see if a recurring event which you added was converted by going to the
Edit/Delete Event screen and seeing if the event in question is marked as a recurring event.
If it was converted, it will not be marked as recurring.

BTW. Did you receive an email confirmation of your purchase with a download link in it? I just moved servers
and want to make sure the emails are also being sent besides providing a download link.

Yes, I did get the email confirmation. Thanks!

I added the

&addUserMessage("I got here!");

but I don't see the message anywhere. I don't see that any or my recurring events got converted. Verbose is set to 1, but it doesn't seem like the script is running at all, though I am not getting any errors.

Should all of my events get converted the first time I add/edit a recurring event, or do I need to do something special to convert them?

[DanO]

** Should all of my events get converted the first time I add/edit a recurring event **

Yes.

** I added the &addUserMessage("I got here!"); but I don't see the message anywhere. **

It should display at the top of the returned page after adding a recurring event, in the same place it
tells you the even has been scheduled.

Do you have any other plug-in's installed? If so, check the 'Debugging' notes listed below each plug-in's
description at the Unofficial CalendarScript - Mods and Plugins site to see if any conflict (use the same
'hooks') with each other.

I only have the Test Plugin and EmailNotify, neither are Enabled though.

Anything else I might be able to check?

You could try reuploading the plug-in files and make sure it's done in ascii mode.
Maybe one (or more) or the files got corrupted?

If the download link is still active, you can try downloading the plug-in
files again and reuploading them. I just uploaded a fresh zipped version in case
the server move corrupted the plug-in zip files.

Does it matter if I change the file extention to *.cgi instead of *.pl?

------------------

[cdubbs94]

I just downloaded the *.zip file again and re-uploaded it to my server. This time I did not change the *.pl to *.cgi and it worked. I don't know if that's the reason it didn't work before or not, and I don't think I want to experiment too much, since it works now. It was either that or a corrupted file.

Thanks so much for your help DanO!

** Does it matter if I change the file extention to *.cgi instead of *.pl? **

Yes!! The script looks for plug-in files with a .pl file name extension.

If your server requires Perl scripts to have a .cgi file name extension, only
the files which are are executed (namely calendar.pl and the calendar_admin.pl)
would need to be altered. Included files should not need to be.

BTW. It's usually helpful if you state upfront any alterations you've made to
supplied code when requesting assistance with them. JFYI

Glad to hear you got it going.

I installed the Split Events plugin and now all of my Search Results are out of order chronologically, even after I turn off the plugin. I also have the Search Link plugin installed.
