Issue with GCalendar Auto Repeating Events

Hangin' Around Joined: Jul 15, 2008 Posts: 49

Note: I posted this request in the Sourceforge GCal forums already, but have yet to get a response back.

I need a Calendar that is very User Friendly in its ability to make reservations (an event) that ALWAYS span multiple days. I will not ever need repeating events for weeks or months. The existing GCalendar certainly works for this, but is not exactly intuitive (for my purposes) and indeed covers way more scenarios then my users would ever need.

I have tried stripping down the code from class.eventForm.php - but I don't understand it enough to make it work. The closest I have come is to remove everything I don't need - leaving basically the start and end dates... But as you can guess, this doesn't fill in any events on the calendar besides the starting date - the repeating function breaks essentially. I presume I am missing some validations/etc for the "span" to function.

Is there any chance someone (the author?) can help me troubleshoot a simplified GCalendar like this? My "Events" will always be at least 2 days, are not time specific, and need to be very User Friendly in the ability to make a simple "Reservation" request by entering your start and end dates (plus a title/category)... and thats it.

This is for a Big Bear Cabin reservation website. Whoever helps me with this will surely get a LARGE discount should you desire to make a reservation yourself... Smile

tehw1n, the original author does support it anymore. The RN supports the version included with RN.

To be honest I don't know a lot about the gClandear because I have not used it on a "real" site. I do know it is rather hard to follow because of the class based architecture. I will take a look at it and try to get back to you. I can not promise anything.

Thanks Palbin, I appreciate any effort. I can PM you my site and provide admin access if/when you require it.

tehw1n, since this is custom development, you might want to offer to pay someone to do it? We have a "For Hire" forum on this site that some community developers keep an eye on. The RN Team is just way too busy to do custom development "on the fly" I am afraid.

Sounds good to me. I actually looked for something like that already, but couldn't find the For Hire forum specifically.. I'll make another post there. Thanks.
