repeet interval issue
Development and Programming
So I finally got repeet working after about 6 hours. Mostly because I didn’t name the custom fields right, or didn’t notice the part in the code where you can specify what you called them. :blank:
I still have a long ways to go, but I’m glad I finally have events repeating!
There’s one thing I’m currently hung up on, and maybe I just don’t know the proper usage.
If I select a start date on the first monday of the month, and a end date at the end of the month, and then select monday as the interval date, shouldn’t the date show up on every monday in that month?
The only way I can get it to show up on each monday is if I enter the dates in the “include_dates” field. It doesn’t seem like that’s the way it should be working though.
What might be causing it to function like that?
Hi Capt’n,
Given your setup, you should be able to use an interval of “1 week”. (Alternately you could use “days of the week: 1”) As you noted, you should not have to mess with the include dates field for a simple interval like that.
Have you customized your lang file at all? That could be a source of your problems.
Thanks, Mr. Wilson. That worked well using 1 week.
I might have created the custom field incorrect, as the value I included for interval was “mondays” – not “days of the week: 1”. The language file apparently will change what that reads as on the publish form then, correct.
In your interval drop-down, you can have an entry like “Mondays”. Then in your lang file you will put:
'mondays' =>
"days of the week: 1",Hope that helps.
In your interval drop-down, you can have an entry like “Mondays”. Then in your lang file you will put:Hope that helps.'mondays' => "days of the week: 1",
Hmmm… this isn’t working for me like it should.
I have in lang.reepeat.php
'This entry does not repeat' =>
"none",
'mondays' =>
"days of the week: 1",And for the repeat_interval value, I put in my drop down list field:
none mondays
Do I have that right, or do I actually specify the “non-friendly” version, as a value in the drop down menu?
Either way I try it, I can’t get it to repeat properly? If I choose no interval, it displays on the day it should, if I select mondays, it doesn’t show at all?
And I going about it the right way?
Earlier when I had “daily” as a value - it worked just fine.
I can get most to work, like weekly, weekends, every 3 days, etc., but no luck with the the following:
‘Mon. Wed. Fri.’ => “days of the week: 2, 3, 5”,
That only shows the even on Monday and Friday!!
