Recurring event limits

    Hi Stephen –

    Regarding this statement in the documentation: “NOTE, it is possible to eventually fill up all the space allocated to this dates field, so if you have an event that recurs a very large number of times, you may need to limit how many upcoming dates you list at one time and deselect old dates after they have passed. We came across this problem with our Popcorn Fridays event for our school, but after I figured out the problem, I more than doubled the available size for this field.”

    My client wants me to set up a sign up sheet for every Wednesday in the school year (so, 30 some dates) with 12 slots on each date.

    Would that be considered “very large number of times”? Since you ran into the issue with weekly events with only 3 volunteer slots per date, I’m concerned.

    Thanks in advance.

    You should be more than fine. You’d have to get up into the high hundreds of dates now to exceed the size of that field. It’s set as a VARCHAR(8000) field, which means roughly 8000 characters could be stored, which should give you somewhere around 700 dates you can store.

    Perfect. Thanks!
