    Hi,

    I have a question concerning adding a recurring events listing. When the user selects the radio button “On” and forgets to define a date (see screenshot #1) Geodirectory does not check that the “On” field is empty. This results in a non recurring event.
    A field check routinge would be good as used in a field that is set to “required” (see screenshot #2).
    Can you help me with this issue?

    Thanks

    Ralf

    Hello,

    we are checking into this.

    Offhand it seems like a good idea that the user should fill in all the fields to make it recurring, and that failing to make it a recurring event should not cause an error. That said I will check with the developers about it.

    Hello Ralf,

    This is not a issue. If repeat end type = date is selected & date is empty then it uses repeat after X occurrences as repeat end options.

    Hi,
    thanks for your reply. I’ve added a test listing as described in your post (see screenshot) but the test listing is only displaying once and not for 7 times.

    Would it be possible to add a feature as described in my first post that the user is getting a warning when the user forgets to add an end date?

    The developers will consider it, but, the field is behaving as expected. You might consider adding a change to the field description text to notify users.

    Hi Alex,

    thanks for your reply.

    As I mentioned in my last post I think that the field is not behaving as expected. If I get Kiran right, the post will repeat for x times (given in the “after x occurrences) even if the date field is empty.
    I tested this behaviour with the configuration given in the screenshot of my last post: the event listing was not repeated for 7 times, it was only listed once.

    Did I make somethink wrong or is it an issue?

    Hi Ralf,

    Yes it should behave what i said, but i see it not doing like that. This will be fixed in next release.

    Thanks for spotting.

    Hi Kiran,
    thanks for your support…and… it would be great if you could also implement a check routine as mentioned in my first post… 🙂
    Best regards
