Monthly repeat support multiple days selection

    Hi there

    I’m trying to get a calendar working on our clubsite, and I use Google Calendar to create the events and those are synced to the website through the feed. Reason is that we can use repeat events and alter only one of the events is necessary.

    Now I’ve created an event in Google Calendar that repeats every Tuesday except the first Tuesday of the month.
    This event is synced to the website, but only for the first occurrence because this plugin does not support multiple days in the monthly repeat.
    Is this something that is worked on, or is it something that will not be supported in the short future?

    Otherwise this is a great plugin!
    Keep up the good work and I hope to hear feedback soon.

    Kind regards
    Yerlix

  • Hi @yerlix,

    Our calendar does support multiple days for monthly repeated events. It may be that the event repeat is not set up correctly, or (more likely) this is the result of the known Google bug where repeated events are corrupted in the exported event feed.

    The alternative solution is to use the Timely calendar to make your changes, and export your Timely calendar into your Google calendar.

    Hi @sunny454

    Thanks for your feedback. The reason for me to sync from Google Calendar is so that other people can edit the calendar without having to login into the website.
    I do maintain the website, but the person who plans everything doesn’t know the least bit about websites let alone WordPress.
    So if that person can make changes in the Google calendar and that syncs to our website is the easiest flow for us.

    Now I’ve created the recurring event for every Tuesday except the first and a separate event for every Friday except the third of each moth.
    In Google Calendar it looks OK (https://goo.gl/Uc3tSn)

    Now we want that the recurring event is shown on every occurrence. I’ve read in another thread (https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/display-recurring-event-every-day/) that this is deliberately done?
    But when clicking to the event detail, I can only see that the event is recurring, but not the specific days.

    I’ve created the event in Google Calendar using the import function by creating a text file (included below). Maybe something is wrong in the file. That’s also a possibility.

    The text file:
    BEGIN:VCALENDAR
    VERSION:2.0
    PRODID:-//ABC//DEF//EN
    METHOD:PUBLISH
    BEGIN:VEVENT
    SUMMARY:Training
    UID:2017-2018-TU
    SEQUENCE:0
    STATUS:CONFIRMED
    TRANSP:TRANSPARENT
    RRULE:FREQ=MONTHLY;BYSETPOS=2,3,4,5;BYDAY=TU;INTERVAL=1;UNTIL=20180630T220000Z
    DTSTART:20171212T200000
    DTEND: 20171212T213000
    DTSTAMP:20171208T083400
    END:VEVENT
    END:VCALENDAR

    Hi @yerlix,

    I will need to ask you for some account specific information, which I am not allowed to do here, in order to further investigate. Can you please open a Support Ticket — please log into your Timely account and open a ticket by clicking on the Get Help link, or click here: https://dashboard.time.ly/account/get-help.

    Hi @sunny454

    I’ve got it working by changing my file that I import in Google Calendar.
    I already had an event with a recurrence on the first t=Tuesday and exported it to ics format. Next I opened it with a text editor and copy pasted everything and deleted all but one event. After altering that event according to my wishes, I uploaded it again to Gcal and that worked like a charm!

    Many thanks for trying to help out!

    Glad you figured it out @yerlix.
