Calendar repeat day

[vinchenzison]

Hi,

I need to add an event that repeats every second Wednesday of the month.
Is this possible? At the moment the repeat is happening on the start date. So, 13th Oct, 13th Nov but I need 13th Oct, 10th Nov.

Thanks

I think Doublespark asked a similar question a while ago, try a search on his posts (if its possible??? )
...he may have solved it

Hi the post is here.

Sorry Ramjet, I had not seen your response previously, thanks for trying to help.

Unfortunately due to my lack of php skills I was unable to progress I any further.

Hmm, yeah. My skills aren't that hot either. Not sure where to use this or how a client would use it either.
I guess it'll have to be a duplicate event until there is a solution.

ok, I found something that does the trick (with a bug though, more below), although it's a hack rather than a real solution.
I have no idea how to make this an actual extension - one day I'll take time to learn!

It adds a new field in events to choose the repeat day, like n-th Wednesday of the month.

The bug I spotted was, say I create an event for 'Wednesday Oct 13th 10:00 - 12:00' and have it repeat every second Wednesday, when it lists it in an event list, the first month (Oct) shows correctly, but the following months show the time as 00:00 - 02:00.
Not sure how to fix this.

I'll look out for a tutorial on extending an extension :idea:

Any reason why this wasn't implemented? http://dev.contao.org/issues/90
