Weekly Sign Up?

    Hey Stephen, have a client who wants to have sign ups for recurring weekly slots – but the same person would be signing up for say 6 recurring weekly slots. Put better: They need volunteers to sign up for a slot every Monday for 6 weeks, a volunteer to sign up for a slot every Tuesday for 6 weeks, etc.

    The only way I can see this possible is to do it as either Ongoing, with no dates, or a Single event with the first day being the date listed. With either of those scenarios, they would not be given a reminder each week. With ongoing, there’d be no reminder, and Single it would just be before the first occurance.

    I’m guessing there’s no functionality to do exactly what they’re asking? If not I will suggest Single and they’d have to do the Email Volunteers manually each week (or some other form of manual reminder). True?

    Thanks as always!

    You are correct in that there is no functionality to do that. There are currently no plans to try to add that to the current plugin, as it’s just not really set up well for that kind of thing.

    At the start of the pandemic, I started a new Events & Signups plugin from scratch, with a much better database structure, better classes and better overall structure than what I inherited when I cloned another sign-up plugin to customize for our school many years ago (which later became this plugin). The new plugin has true repeating events and signups can be for either one instance or for all of them, and there can be event exceptions (rescheduling or cancel just one date without affecting the rest, or cancel/clear one signup for one date, etc.). But, as usual, I got busy with custom programming work and never finished that. Not sure if I ever will finish it as I make next to nothing on the extensions for this plugin as it is (not a big enough user base, and very small percentage of them buy any of the paid extensions). A lot of it is functioning, but it’s still pretty much in the “Alpha” phase.
