multi day event

[Todd Lindstrom]

I am creating a ticket for a 2 day event. It is a conference training session that will span two days from 1PM to 5PM on a Monday and Tuesday.

When I tried to add this – it showed up as

Day 1 – starting at 1pm
Day 2 – ending at 5PM

how can I better show that it is a 2 day class?

Hello there,

Thanks for your question!

Probably the easiest solution would be setting up a recurring event:

Event on day one from 1pm to 5pm.

And a recurrence rule, daily, same time, stop either after 2 occasions or on a specific date.

Alternatively you can set up a 2-day full day event, and specify the start and end time of the training in the description of the event.

Does this help? Let me know.

Cheers,
Andras

From the options supplied – I made the event recur on the next day. it worked OK BUT in the settings general I clicked on the option to only show the first of multiple events.

When I edit the events page in Beaver Builder – it shows right – it only shows 1 time for that event.

BUT when I refresh and look at the events page – I still see two events.

Could this be some hidden cache issue? (I clicked SHIFT-Refresh to pull fresh CSS)

Hi Todd,

The option “Show only the first instance of each recurring event (only affects list-style views).” only affects list-style views as it says.

I’m not quite sure how it is supposed to work with Beaver Builder. Can you share with me a url where this can be seen? I’d like to take a look at it.

Thanks,
Andras

here is the url
i just made sure the view only the first element is checked – then I added
a recurring event on subsequent days:

Thanks!

I guess beaver builder handles the list a bit differently than our plugins.

As a workaround you should be able to use the following css snippet, which will hide the recurring event children in that list at the top:

.fl-post-feed .tribe-recurring-event-child {
display: none;
}

If you need to further customize it (show or hide when the month calendar or the list view is being shown, then you can use this:

Hide recurrences in the top list only on month view:

.events-gridview .fl-post-feed .tribe-recurring-event-child {
display: none;
}

Hide recurrences in the top list only on list view:

.events-list .fl-post-feed .tribe-recurring-event-child {
display: none;
}

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Andras

OK I’ve played with it more and I really need to modify the code to add an option or I need to sponsor a feature that would allow a multiple day. Honestly I would rather pay you to create this feature rather than modify php files and have them overwritten on each update.

My requirements would be the following:

Start/End [date] [starttime] to [stop time] [date]
[ ] All Day Event
[X] Multiple Day Event

When Multiple Day Event is selected – present another line and add button as such:

Start/End Day2 [date] [starttime] to [stop time] [date] [remove button]

[ button to add a day 3]

As to how this ripples to other section of the code I’m not sure – calendar view would be affected and both days should show. List view should look as attached image with N days showing:

JULY 27 @ 1PM to 5PM
JULY 28 @ 1PM to 5PM

Can you please discuss this as a team and let me know how feasible this would be and how much you would charge me to sponsor a feature like this? I really feel like I can not work with either alternative – the full day option just says one date on the list view JULY 27 and is misleading to customers. The multiple event of length 2 is confusing as well.

please let me know.

Hey Toddl,

What you have described above can be created with recurring events and daily or custom recurrence rules. Here’s a screenshot on the daily: https://cloudup.com/cri9nOkG-QD

Unfortunately we cannot take on customization requests and development projects of this kind. Our agency teams can be hired for website development projects, but the budget for those start in the $20.000 range.

If you think that is something you would like as a feature I encourage you to visit our User Voice Page and either upvote an existing request or make a new request there. If enough people give their votes to this, then we will definitely consider building this in as an option.

If you need a faster resolution, then I can share with you this list of independent developers, who are not affiliated with us and could help you out with this project.

Thanks for your understanding. Let me know if you have further questions.

Cheers,
Andras
