Possible Bug in Calendar Views

    Calendar version 1.5.52
    Almost all “events” recorded in the calendar are repeating events (they happen to be weekly). When I surf to the page with the calendar, the current month shows (good).

    Using the Month view for example, I can tab through the months (using the < and > links) and the events show up (at least as far as I go). If I change the year by clicking on the previous or next year in the calendar title bar, events do not show up for the “current” month. For example, it is currently May 2017 but if I view May 2018, no events are displayed. I can tab back and forth through the months of 2018 and the events show up for all the months except the “current” month.

    The site I’m working on: stjohnsretiredcitizens.org (and select the “Events” tab).

    Hi @johngoold-1!

    Thanks for posting about this problem!

    Did you select a value for Repeat Until option on your repeating events? You can set it to 2020, for example.

    Please give this a try and let us know if this works. I am posting a screenshot below, where you will see this option.

    Thanks! Have a great day!

    That was how I set it up originally (funnily enough, I chose 2020 as the year!). The described problem occurred then.

    I later realized that overlay pop-ups and calendar displays were showing the event as repeating UNTIL that date. Since I wanted those events to repeat indefinitely (until canceled), I tried the effect of removing the “Repeat until” date. That worked fine (i.e. open-ended repeat); however, the described problem persisted.

    Hi @johngoold-1!

    I am happy to inform you, that our development team has resolved the problem on your website. Could you please have a look?

    They replaced the following two lines in /spider-event-calendar/front_end/frontend_functions.php file:

    if($date_month == (int)$month) $next_date = date('n/j/Y', strtotime($start_date));
else $next_date = php_GetNextDate($start_date, $repeat * 7);

    with this code:
    $next_date = php_GetNextDate($start_date, $repeat * 7);

    Let me know in case there’s anything else we can assist you with.
    Thank you! Have a great day!
