Hi @PhastCo,
​
Thank you for your message, we’ve fixed the plugin demo page - please give it a spin. :slightly_smiling_face:

Here are some key points to keep in mind when working with Recurring Events:

  1. Days of the week (e.g : Monday, Tuesday, etc) must be written in English only. Otherwise, the plugin won’t recognize the days for the recurring event. For example, if the event occurs three times a week, you should write Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (or the appropriate days in English).
  2. Start/End Dates: The start and end dates must not be on the same day; there should be an interval between them (such as a month or a year). For example, if the recurring event happens throughout April, set the Start Date to April 1st (and specify the time), and the End Date to April 30th (with the ending time). Ensure the days of the week are specified correctly in English with no spelling mistakes (capitalization doesn’t matter as long as they are in English and accurate).

Example - you can check our test page for Recurring events.

​

Please try these adjustments and let us know if everything starts working as expected.

Thanks @ZeroqodeSupport - does this plugin currently only support weekly recurring events, and not yet monthly recurring events?

Hi @PhastCo,

You’re very welcome. :slightly_smiling_face:

Yes, the Air Calendar library has some limitations with recurring events, allowing you to set the start/end date, time, and the days of the week when the event should occur.

To introduce more flexibility for recurring events, additional functionality from a third-party library would be required.

Once submitted, we will review it and provide an estimate of the hours and associated costs.

Hey there, still very much enjoying this plugin. I’m wondering about a feature that could be very useful for us but it’s not there yet. I’m using the resource scheduler timeline and when I select an event in the calendar it shows a floating group with more info on the event. However since I have lots of events in the calendar it would be nice to highlight the “selected event” color in a different color that the normal “background color” so that we know which event we are looking at / editing.

Hi @arjen,

Thank you for your message, we’re really happy to hear that you’re enjoying the plugin! :tada:

Regarding your request to highlight the “selected event” with a different color, this feature isn’t natively available in the Air Calendar plugin at the moment. However, there is a workaround that you can implement to achieve this functionality.

Here are some suggestions to help you highlight the selected event:

  1. Use the “Event Click” Workflow:
    You can create a workflow triggered when an event is clicked. In this workflow, you can store the ID of the selected event in a custom state.

  2. Customize the Selected Event:
    Using the custom state, you can dynamically apply a specific style to the selected event, such as changing the background color or border color.
    You could also update a floating group (which displays more information) to highlight the selected event. This can be done by using conditional statements on the floating group’s background color.

  3. Dynamic Styling:
    Once the event is selected, you could apply a different CSS style or add custom logic to visually distinguish the selected event.

While the feature you are looking for is not directly available out-of-the-box, this workaround can help you create a more personalized experience in your app.

Hope it helps. :folded_hands:

Is there a way to get the date of a recurring event after it’s been dragged? Right now, neither the “clicked date” nor the “recurring event date” are available unless the event is directly clicked.

This becomes a problem when trying to edit a recurring event series—especially when an event is dragged to a new date—because there’s no reliable way to access the original date that was selected.

For example, if I drag a recurring event from the 10th to the 11th, there’s no way for me to tell Bubble that the original instance was on the 10th. But that information is crucial for editing recurring events correctly.

Hi @teamprogresscomplete,

Thank you for your question. Regarding your request to access the original date of a recurring event after it has been dragged, the Air Calendar (FullCalendar) plugin currently doesn’t provide an easy way to track the original instance when it’s dragged to a new date. However, we can suggest a few workarounds:

  1. Tracking the original date manually:

    • One approach could be to store the original date of each recurring event in your database when the event is first created or edited. This way, even if the event is dragged to a new date, you can refer back to the original date stored in your database.
    • When an event is dragged, you can update only the new date while keeping the original date intact for reference.

  2. Using workflow triggers:

    • You can set up a workflow where you update the event’s information (like the date) when it is dragged. However, you’ll need to maintain the original date separately.
    • In your workflow, you can have an action that updates the event with the new dragged date but also refers to the original instance date you stored.

Here’s a link to the plugin documentation for more in-depth guidance on how to use the plugin and its features, and you can also check out the demo page for a working example: Air Calendar Demo Editor.

Hope it helps. :folded_hands:

Hi, thanks for the response!

I’m still a bit confused by your first suggestion. My setup already includes:

  1. An “original/start date”

  2. A list of all “occurrences” for the recurring event.

However, your suggestion doesn’t address the core issue: there’s no way to detect the specific date a recurring event is being dragged from. It doesn’t help that I know the start date and all occurrences — I still can’t identify which instance was moved.

Your second suggestion also doesn’t seem viable for the same reason. Yes, I can update the new target date after the drag, but without knowing the original date the event was dragged from, I can’t correctly update the recurring series.

As I mentioned in my original post, this is essential for editing recurring events properly. For example, if I have a weekly recurring appointment on the 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th, and I drag the 15th to the 16th, my new series should be: 1st, 8th, 16th, 22nd, and 29th.

Likewise, if I drag the 15th to the 14th, the new series should be: 1st, 8th, 14th, 22nd, and 29th.

Without knowing the original date of the moved instance, it’s impossible to implement this behavior accurately.

To reiterate: editing a single instance within a recurring series currently requires “splitting” the series — something like:

A (original recurring series) → B (edited instance, now a standalone event) → A (resumed recurring series)

But again, without knowing the date the event was moved from, it’s not possible to do this reliably using the current plugin.

Let me know if I’m still unclear — happy to elaborate further.

Thank you for the link to the demo but it currently does not support creating recurring events, or editing them. If the demo had this capability that would be great!!

Hi @teamprogresscomplete,

Thank you for your detailed follow-up and clarification. :folded_hands:

We understand now that you’re looking for a more specific feature to track the original date a recurring event was moved from, in order to accurately update the recurring event series. Currently, the Air Calendar plugin doesn’t provide this level of flexibility when it comes to tracking such changes.

As mentioned in a similar inquiry above, while the plugin supports basic recurring event functionality, achieving the behavior you’re looking for would require additional development, possibly involving a third-party library to enhance the handling of recurring events.

We provide general support for the plugin, and while we’re unable to implement custom features without additional resources, you can certainly share your feature request through our Plugin Feature Sponsoring Form here: Sponsoring Plugin Features Form. Once submitted, our team will review it, and we can discuss the possibility of adding this feature, along with an estimated cost for the implementation.

We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration for future improvements. Let us know if you have any other questions or need further clarification!
