Feature: Recurring Calendar Event

[aftechro]

After submitting the new event, when open the event, description removed. If type and save again, does not updates after Save.
not sure if it`s mariadb versus mysql

also, if you change repeat mode from none to day/week/month does not take any effect

ooops it worked for events.php but not client_events.php, forgot to add a VAR there.

Im not sure how to implement repeat and have it show on the calendar it seems like it will have to be a mix of javascript and php

I wonder if @wrongecho has any ideas on the best way to implement repeat

@johnnyq - Hmm, this is a tricky one.
We could do it as we did with scheduled tickets by having cron.php check for recurring events and add them every evening but then you wouldn't see them right away on the calendar?
Alternatively, if we are going to add them at the time the event is first created. how far ahead do we go (a month? a year?)? Also, what happens if we want to then edit all those events to correct a typo, etc?
A lot of software handles calendaring and events badly. It sounds so simple but when you break it down it's a bit of a can of worms, to be honest.
I think once we decide what we wanna do (add them daily via cron vs add them at the initial event creation) we can think about how to structure that?

Edit: Can you re-open this please so we don't lose it?

@wrongecho your absolutely correct I actually had the same thought process. I will leave this open and we can further brain storm. Its not a high priority but something that would be nice at some point. -- Reopening
