If recurring event

  • Is it possible to detect the event type (recurring/not recurring) within a custom template? I can’t find a variable that tells you whether the event is recurring or not, it would be ideal if I could do the following:

    if($event->output('#_EVENTRECURRING')){

// Show all recurring dates

}else{

// Show date of event

}

    Thanks,
    Chris

    yes, you can try something like

    if ( $event->is_recurrence() ){

}

    Brilliant, that’s great.

    Do you know if there’s any way of whatever you choose from the recurrences section from the back-end? E.g:

    “Event recurs every 4 days”
    “Event recurs on the first Monday of each month”

    sorry for the confusion but can you explain it again or give us more details please?

    So, if I have a recurring event every Monday, is there any way to output (on the event detail page) “This event occurs every Monday”. Or, if you say that an event occurs every 3 days, output “This event occurs every 3 Days”.

    I too would like to know if this was ever answered?

    There’s no easy tag for that, you’d need to create a custom query.

    I assume by tag you mean placeholder?

    It seems sad that the information is desired by many AND it is clearly stored by events manager, but no one thought to create a placeholder?

    Although my personal opinion is that this is a glaring hole in Events Manager, I am open to creating a bit of code.

    I have already leveraged this example – List Recurring Events as one Event

    Any pointers or examples to help get me, and many others, started?

    AND – how do we lobby for an addition in a future release?

    It looks like the recurrence is even retrieved from the database into the EM_Event Object, but not put in a placeholder!

    [recurrence_freq] => daily
