Hi there,
I'm currently in the process of trying to implement recurring events in the scheduler with a completely custom lightbox... and consequently a custom server-side code, mainly INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE operations were all redefined by me.
Now, setting aside the basic issues of putting the controls on the lightbox and adding the necessary fields in the database, I’m rather curious about something.
From what I understood, recurring events actually create multiple entries in the database with each “recurrence” having a pointer to the master event by ways of the PID field. This goes well with events having fixed reccurrence (like repeat 12 times and then stop)… but what happens when you decide to go with the “no end date” option? You can’t very well generate an infinite amount of events in the database. How does the scheduler treats this type of recurring events?
Anyway thanks in advance,
Osu
