Subject: Possible Recurrence Bug?
Hello there

First of all thanks for making this really great calendar extension. My English is not very good but i'll try to explain my Problem.

I installed the calendar Version 1.0 and everything seemed to work fine. But now i discovered an issue that occurs when i combine the calendar(in list view) with the minical and recurring events. This is a bit complicated and i hope i explain it correctly.

I have an Event that starts on the 1st June and ends on the 1st October. I set the recurrence to weekly and checked tuesday and saturday. Now in the normal List the Event displays just fine, but when i click f.e. on the 17th June (which is a tuesday) the start date goes to 17th june and the end date to 17th October. It seems to take the actual duration of the event but it wrongly sets the start date to the date i selected via minical.

Is someone have the same Problem or did i something wrong?

Greetings and thanks in advance
Christian

Hey Christian,
I started typing a reply late last week, but apparently I got sidetracked and forgot to post it. Sorry about that...

I'll see about duplicating this issue, but there is one thing that could be causing this issue. You say that this event starts on June 1st and ends on October 1st. This is actually when the event stops completely, but each individual recurrence of the event is only a day, right?

If this is the case, your start and stop date should be June 1st as they only apply to the first occurrence of a recurring event. You recurring event should also have an "until date" of October 1st since that is when the event stops recurring. Is this how you're set up?

Thanks,
Jeff

Thanks Jeff! That has been the Problem!

I just had to set the until date in the recurrence tab instead of the end
date and everything worked as expected. Just did not think that maybe someone
needs to recur an event that is longer than a day...

thanx for making this really great extension
