Displaying Recurrence Rules for Custom Events

[Brent Kozlowski]

Hello,

How would I display (output) a custom recurrence rule? It appears there is a function for “tribe_event_is_all_day” & “tribe_event_is_multiday” in ../meta/details.php, but nothing for custom rules? If the conditions are not met it defaults to a single day event.

I also uncovered a bug… notice the start date. Is this why this event is not meeting the conditions for a multi-day?

“An event every 1 week(s) on Tuesday that begins at 1970-01-01 06:00 pm and lasts 0 day(s) and 0 hour(s), the last of which will begin on January 19, 2016”

Example of Desired Output

Start Date: November 3rd, 2015
End Date: January 19, 2016
Meets: Tuesdays @6pm

Hi Tanya,

Thanks for reaching out to us on this. I’ll help you with this issue!

First of all let’s break this down into two: The recurrence label and the bug with the start date.

Recurrence label

How would I display (output) a custom recurrence rule?

Where are you trying to output the rule description? Per default it’s displayed in the single event template when you over ‘Recurring Event’: https://cloudup.com/c5TR_HKZFSj

It appears there is a function for “tribe_event_is_all_day” & “tribe_event_is_multiday” in ../meta/details.php, but nothing for custom rules?

Not sure what you mean here. Just to clarify, if an event is all day or multiday this doesn’t apply to the series of events but to the event instance itself. So if you have a ‘one day event’ that occurs everyday for a week, this doesn’t turn the events into multiday events.

Bug with start date

Can you share a screenshot of the event configuration that lead to that glitch? I would like to try to reproduce this locally and if I can confirm this is a bug then log it in our backlog.

Thanks,
Nico
