שלום,
אירועים חוזרים הם אירועים בודדים, אך כאשר יוצרים אחד כזה, הוא אינו יוצר נושאים בודדים.
לכן, אם לוחצים על אחד מהאירועים החוזרים הללו כדי להשתתף בו, ההשתתפות שלך נוכחת בכל האירועים.
האם יצירת אירוע חוזר לא אמורה ליצור אירועים/נושאים בודדים עם אותה בסיס כמו האירוע הראשון?
זוהי בהחלט בקשת פיצ’ר. אני מבין אותך, יהיה נחמד אם תוכל לבחור אירוע מסוים ברצף.
Any joy with this?
We really do need a new Topic to be created for each event, rather than a single event Topic controlling a whole bunch of events visible in the calendar.
At the moment the only feasible workaround is to manually make a bunch of new Topics. This of course fills up the Latest feed in a most annoying fashion (which needs mitigation somehow), as well as requiring that you are careful not to over-notify. I guess that highlights some of the challenges in bringing this feature to life.
would it be acceptable if secondary events in a topic had a different appearence such as outline, via eventBorderColor and eventBackgroundColor
You simulate layering by combining:
| Property | Primary (confirmed) | Tentative / secondary |
|---|---|---|
| eventBackgroundColor | solid | different / light |
| eventBorderColor | same as fill | strong contrast |
| border style | solid | dashed |
| opacity | 1 | 1 |
This creates a visual hierarchy without needing actual stacking.
Cute idea, but I don’t think it will quite go far enough - each event in a series really needs its own RSVP, supplementary information, and discussion.
the RSVP would be replaced by the poll, so all the events in the topic would be standalone (primary and styled secondaries) . The events would all be about the same thing, the complexity: locking-in a time from various times.
Not really a series nor something that can be achieved in outlook.
It’s the special sauce that turns an institution, like the university i’m in, away from defensively-false outlook series and toward Discourse.
Returning to this after using the revamped plugin over the last few months; it works pretty nicely now that we’ve got more recurrence options - especially the X’th day of the month, and the ability to RSVP to either the event or the series.
However, a key problem remains: archiving the last event’s content.
The use case is a recurrent event which has quite a few posts / discussion with it. This may include attached files and images. The most obvious example is a regular work meeting.
At the moment, this resulting mess needs to be sorted manually one way or another, as what recurrence does is simply change the date of the event and clear the RSVP. The manual options are:
None of these are great unfortunately.
I’d like recurrence to preserve the current Event topic intact, but once it is completed the plugin would create a new Topic for the next Event.
This would keep the lovely flow, and would automatically ensure that an appropriate archive of the past event is retained - as well as giving a ‘clean’ Topic for the new event.
The price to pay (apart from increased complexity) would be that the active event would have a new URL. I could see this potentially being an issue in some cases.
