Repeet Module Help
Development and Programming
Hello! I have been trying and trying…but I cannot seem to get the Repeet modile to work right for me. I have an event that repeats on x amount of days. though the output of this
5/29/2008 01:00 PM 5/30/2008 01:00 PM 5/30/2008 08:00 PM 5/31/2008 08:00 PM 6/01/2008 07:00 PM 6/03/2008 08:00 PM 6/04/2008 08:00 PM 6/05/2008 08:00 PM 6/06/2008 08:00 PM 6/07/2008 08:00 PM
gives me this:
* Friday, August 08, 2008 5:00 PM - 5:00 PM * Saturday, August 16, 2008 5:00 PM - 5:00 PM * Saturday, August 02, 2008 7:10 AM - 7:10 AM * Friday, July 18, 2008 4:00 PM - 4:00 PM * Monday, July 07, 2008 6:00 AM - 6:00 AM * Tuesday, June 03, 2008 5:00 PM - 5:00 PM
As you can see it’s not even close. Maybe I am not doing the calls right but I took the example right off the site. Has anyone done this for a single event with multiple dates for the event?
Just checking to see if anyone has experience with this module and can help me out?
ping pong, anyone!
Hey Erin, I sure have and I need help with my example, please:)
Under where you mentioned “the output of this” - where are you putting those dates? Include dates? Exclude dates?
Ok I have got no here:(
I don’t use the exclude dates but what it’s doing is just pulling all dates that I have in the additional dates custom field. eeek, help!
By “addittional dates custom field” what do you mean? The include dates? The repeat interval? Make sure you’re only using the custom fields they specified you can use.
I don’t use the exclude dates and I manually put in daily as the interval. I only use a custom field I created called events-extra-dates with the dates listed.
Can you post the template code?
This is pretty much what I am using.
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="events" limit="1" show_future_entries="yes"}
<h1>{title}</h1>
<h2>Coming occurrences of this event:</h2>
<ul>{exp:repeet:list_dates from="00:00" to="5 years" entry_date="{entry_date format="%Y-%m-%d %H:%i"}" expiration_date="{expiration_date format="%Y-%m-%d %H:%i"}" max_list="25" interval="daily"}
{repeet:include_dates}{events-extra-dates}{/repeet:include_dates}
{repeet:exclude_dates}{exclude_dates}{/repeet:exclude_dates}
{repeet:display}{events-extra-dates}
{/repeet:display}
{/exp:repeet:list_dates}
{/exp:weblog:entries}Recheck the available values for your parameters. For example from=”00:00” doesn’t appear to be a valid value. http://lincolnite.com/ee/repeet/#list_dates
Things like this can easily throw off the code and display incorrect dates.
ok checked that one and used the example code
from=”today” to=”1 year”
still not showing results:(
Not sure… Does it work when you use the “repeat interval” custom and have it go for consecutive days? This will help narrow down whether it’s an issue with that specific custom field.
tried that to and did not display dates, interval set for 5 days.
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="events" limit="1" show_future_entries="yes"}

<ul>{exp:repeet:list_dates from="today" to="1 year” entry_date="{entry_date format="%Y-%m-%d %H:%i"}" expiration_date="{expiration_date format="%Y-%m-%d %H:%i"}" max_list="25"}
