Repeet Won’t Display Anything
Development and Programming
I can’t get Repeet to display anything, not even a false message saying I don’t have any events scheduled.
I downloaded Repeet from the Repeet site today. The pi.repeet.php file is in my system/plugins directory and the lang.repeet.php file is in the system/language/english/ directory. The weblog is “meetings” and uses custom fields called “repeat_interval” (drop-down list), “include_dates” (textarea), and “exclude_dates” (textarea). The default text formatting of all of the custom fields is set to None.
There is one entry in the weblog, its Status is Open, the start date is tomorrow, and the end date is 10 years from tomorrow (as recommended on the Repeet page).
Here’s my template code (copy-and-pasted from the Repeet home page with minimal changes):
{exp:repeet:parse date_header_interval="day"}
{repeet:date_header}%M %d, %Y{/repeet:date_header}
{repeet:no_results}Oops, looks like there aren't any events in the time range you specified.{/repeet:date_header}
{exp:repeet:get_ids weblog="meetings" parse="inward"}
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="meetings" entry_id="{repeet:entry_ids}" dynamic="off" show_expired="yes" show_future_entries="yes"}
{repeet:item}
{repeet:entry_date}{entry_date format="%Y-%m-%d %H:%i"}{/repeet:entry_date}
{repeet:expiration_date}{expiration_date format="%Y-%m-%d %H:%i"}{/repeet:expiration_date}
{repeet:interval}{repeat_interval}{/repeet:interval}
{repeet:include_dates}{include_dates}{/repeet:include_dates}
{repeet:exclude_dates}{exclude_dates}{/repeet:exclude_dates}
{repeet:display}
{title}
{/repeet:display}
{/repeet:item}
{/exp:weblog:entries}
{/exp:repeet:get_ids}

Hi K,
How often should your entry be published? (Can you tell us which interval you have selected (1 hour, 1 day, etc) in your custom field on your publishing page?)
If daily, have you tried changing the expiration date to the day after the entry date, instead of the “10 year hack”?
I’ve been struggling a lot with repeet, too 😊
One thing I found out is that it often helps using the end=”“-parameter in
{exp:repeet:get_ids weblog="meetings" parse="inward"}even it is some bogus value somewhere in 22th century.
