Repeating events, Holiday style

[robbrandt]

I am using a new installation of 1.4.2, downloaded today.

Glad to see support for repeating events, especially the "holiday" style repeat.

I have such an event to set up.  It's a repeating board meeting that happens on the last tuesday of every month.  It appears OpenGoo is intended to support this.  I select that type and check the optional box, but the repeating events don't show up in subsequent months.  In fact, even when i don't check the optional box it doesn't show up in subsequent months.

I checked the database and for this event the repeat_h colum is populated, with a 1 when the option isn't checked and a 2 when the option is checked.  So the data is being saved, but not used.

I haven't seen this bug addressed in the 1.5 changelog, has it been noted?

This bug is in our list, but not yet for v 1.5.

Hi,

The repeat holiday mode for events has been modified for version 1.6.
Now you will be able to add a repeating event in the <1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th> <Sun, Mon, ...,Sat> every X months.

regards

Great news.

Here's a tough test for it.  My grandmother gets together with her siblings on every "5th Sunday".  Which, of course, doesn't happen every month.  Can it handle that?

[alvarotm01]

No, only 1st to 4th, for now.
If you select to repeat holiday and pick a date that is a 5th Sunday, opengoo will assume that the event repeats the 4th Sunday.

Like I said, it's a tough test, many calendars can't deal with it.  Should be good for most other cases.
