FullCalendar recurring events

Postby drookwood » Fri Aug 07, 2020 4:06 pm

I need to be able to display recurring events (ie weekly, monthly) in the calendar using the fullcalendar component but the docs seem to suggest that this is not possible before v4 and I think Servoy still uses v2.6.1. Does anyone know how to achieve this with the version in Servoy? The FullCalendar docs propose use of the rrule plugin to achieve better flexibility for recurring events - can that be used with the component in Servoy?

Any pointers gratefully received!

Hi David,

Are these repeated events stored as a single event in your data source?
If so, you can work around this by adding a step to duplicate the repeated events manually before loading them into the calendar.

Hope this helps,

Hi Christian,

The events I am considering are indeed stored as single events (with repeat interval) and may recur for a specific period only or may recur indefinitely. I had considered duplicating and changing the dates before loading up the calendar but was hoping for a neater solution which the rrule plugin seems to offer - in particular the facility to change a single date in a series or all dates/recurrences in a series. Again, that could be achieved programmatically of course but being able to use the plugin to handle this would have been neat - but apparently not with the version of fullcalendar included in Servoy.
