custom repeat events

[Justin]

Is the custom repeat events (part of the pro) allowing truly random events to be created?
(e.g. like seat selection on train/plane/theatre type booking systems).

from videos on line it show that the custom is just a more flexible version of rule based events. If not currently present will random repeating events be available in the future?

Hey Justin,

Thanks for getting in touch and for your interest in our plugins 🙂

You can take a look into the recurrence settings available in PRO. There are a bunch of options to genereate complex rules, but there’s no random recurrence generation.

I’m not sure what you mean, I don’t get what’s the purpose in generating random events. Can you elaborate a bit on this?

Best,
Nico

Hi Nico,

…. for the custom “random” events the reason would be for example one booking is for school term time ( say the football club) and doesn’t meet at the half-term holiday and also one other week since there’s a teachers strike.

so I can only see this possible if the repeating rules allow exceptions in the events to block the holiday and strike from appearing.

or better still there is an ability to select any day to be associated with the booking – ideally this is what I’m looking for one other calendar that has this functional is the all in one envent calendar you could have a look at that

Thanks for following up Justin!

Yes, adding exceptions would be the way to go for this.

You can assign arbitrary dates to the recurrence. This doesn’t work as a pattern just single dates for the event to take place.

Is this last option what you are looking for?

Best,
Nico
