[QUOTE][u]Quote by: Anonymous[/u][p]I'm going to write a recurring events hack for the calendar.

I am just learning PHP but I know this is something I could do in my sleep in C or VB, so I'm going to try and adapt.

What is the "eid" column in gl_events?

Sample:
"20021220131531188"

I know the 20021220 is Dec. 20 , 2002. What's the rest?

In theory, I should be able to add some fields to the event add form such as:

Recurring?  [ ]
((get the recurring info like daily, weekly, etc... or every third friday of every month, etc))
Until when? [date to end the repeating]

Then I would have the code check and see if recurring was selected. If it was, it would calculate the dates based on the reocurrance (monthly, weekly, etc) and come up with the dates for the repeats.

I would probably have to add a column to the gl_events table to set the repeating events apart from the regular events so they can all be deleted at the same time.

Then I would just create the rows from the initial event data all the way through the user's end date.

Doesn't sound too hard, but like I said I'm new to PHP.

Anyone have any ideas or feature requests?[/p][/QUOTE]
