1) when entering the frequency of the event. aside
from a single event and a repeated event and would need an option for
a “scattered” event. This is for example a play that takes place on
january 1st, 3rd, 5th and 10th. I want the option to enter the event
info and have fields to enter the dates that it is taking place. ———> 2) does your plugin show a listing of other events at the specific location?Howdy!
Good question. At the moment this is mostly possible with a few extra clicks. You can break an event from its recurrence series, or even remove it.
- So for instance if you have 4 total occurrences as in your example, you could create an every daye recurrence for 1st through the 10th. Hit Save, then place a checkmark next to the days you don’t want it on (2nd, 4th, 6th-9th) and hit delete.
- Alternatively if you have a much longer running event the above is obviously not a great solution, you’d have to delete too many. So, you can add extra events to the series, click “break event from series”, then move them to the desired date. Those three steps will probably make more sense once you are looking at the dit screen. It’s not super complicated, but it’s not as easy as it could be.
On that note, we plan to add exactly what you described to our plugin. We have actually been rewriting a fair portion of our plugin to make stuff like this possible in the near future. This feature has not been released yet, and it might be a bit before it is released. But we are working towards that soon. In the mean time, hopefully one of the above options which add a few extra clicks will work.
Does that all make sense? Please let me know if you have any questions. If not, mind marking this resolved? Cheers!
