Hiding Recurring Events Details

[moif]

Morning all,

I run a radio station and we’ll be using ECP2 to schedule shows. I have a question about Recurring Events. When creating the event on the back end there is a section which asks when the event will end. This then displays on the event itself as ‘recurring 999 times’. Is there a way I can set this as infinite or to hide the text altogether?

Thanks

Hi,

I’ve not seen the CSS class list that these guys are releasing soon (nor had time to root through it yet) but I imagine that you’ll be able to hide the text in your CSS with display:hidden/visibility:none.

But don’t take my word for it.

@Moif – we can’t do infinite recursions as that would break your database! 999 is the max. I had written that you could do what andrew suggested with css, but when I checked to confirm, it turns out we forgot to add id/classes to those elements in the single event view. I have opened an issue and they will be added in the next release.

For the time being, the way to do it would be to create a custom template (rob is putting a tutorial together next week) and comment out that code. Basically, the short form is to create a new folder called “events” in your theme and copy the single.php in views into the new events folder you made in your theme. Then make the changes there.

Thanks chaps,

I wouldn’t want to do anything to break the DB! But anything I can do to hide the text will do just fine.

I’ll take a look at the theme (after a coffee).
