#664 < This Month's Events > shows only 1st occurence

[dale]

I have entries that repeat more than once monthly. In month view, "This Month's Events" shows only the 1st occurrence of these items. I have observed this behavior with 2.31 and 2.4 RC7. The calendar was built with Lightning 1.0b2.

Is this intended behavior or a bug?

[Sherman]

This happens for me too. I have 2.4 RC7 and using Lightning 1.0b4. The reoccurring events show up in the calendar fine but print view and list view at the bottom only shows 1st event and none of the others. I am also using Davical as the go between. Lightning adds to Davical via caldav and then I export an ics and save in the calendar directory. I will attach an ics file for review.

Ok can't attach so here.

I saw this issue too and couldn't decide if it was intentional behaviour or not. Either way, it wasn't doing what I wanted which was to:
A) list recurring events every time they occur in a month; and
B) list events that span several days once per day for each day they covered.

I've probably done this in the wrong way (I'm not a PHP guru), but this change worked for me so I'll post it here in case someone else finds it useful.

< continue;
< }

                                             if (($new_val2['spans_day'] != 1) && (!isset($new_val2['recur']))) {
