Recurring not recurring for option other than weekly

AI-generated summary

Several users are reporting an issue with recurring events not displaying correctly in the calendar, unless the recurrence is set to weekly. Krischan first reported the issue, and others, such as Julien_Palard and boospy, have confirmed the problem with different recurrence settings, including monthly and quarterly. The issue affects various versions of Discourse, including 3.0.0.beta16 and 3.1.0.beta2, as well as multiple plugins, including [calendar], [date], and [event]. leogallego has also reported the issue on the Ansible Community Forum, providing a test post as an example.

I might have discovered a small bug: Recurring events show up in the calendar, if they are weekly, but not if recurring="2.weeks" or recurring="1.months". Could you please have a look? Thank you!

Looks like I’m hitting the bug too, I’m having:

[event start="2022-12-14 20:00" status="public" recurrence="every_month" ... ...

But on /upcoming-events it appears only once.

I just tested it again here:

The event is:

[event start="2023-01-11 20:00" status="public" name="Réunion du comité directeur" url="https://bbb.afpy.org/b/jul-cb2-1bd-ost" timezone="Europe/Paris" recurrence="every_month" allowedGroups="trust_level_0" reminders="notification.15.minutes"]
[/event]

And it only show once in “Upcoming events” instead of monthly:

Tested it here. Also weekly and all other recurrings are only ever displayed once in the calendar overview. When the event is over, the next one is displayed and the old one disappears.

In order to create a weekly overview, for example, you would have to enter each appointment separately. That would be very time-consuming.

Discourse version 3.0.0.beta16
discourse-calendar 0.3

Very Thanks :pray:

@jancernik Can confirm, that it is not working with 3.1.0.beta2. Do you think it is difficult to fix that?

Hi all, we have run into the same issue in the Ansible Community Forum, posting about it so people are aware the issue still persists.

Here is our test post:

The issue affects the [calendar] and [date] tags as well as the [event] one mentioned above.
