Currently that is no setting ti exclude those recurring event on the event listing page.

But you can apply following code into this file -> JoomlaFolder/components/com_easysocial/views/events/view.html.php

		$options['parent_id'] = 0;

You can refer on my attached screenshot which line you should put.

Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately once you make that mod to set it to only show the parent event, since the date of that (the original parent event) has passed, it doesn't show the event at all. I guess what it needs to do would be to show the next active child event?

Hey there,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here.

I have a little bit lost here, can you check my following explanation and see whether i understand correctly with your current question?

1. When someone create a weekly recurring event :
- 11 - 01 - 2019
- 18 - 01 - 2019
- 25 - 01 - 2019

2. if the user click on the all event filter today, it will show all the event which also included those upcoming recurring event, but what you want is, only want to show 1 upcoming event for that recurring event right?
e.g. 11 - 01 - 2019

Yes, that is correct.

Try edit this PHP file JoomlaFolder/administrator/components/com_easysocial/models/events.php and look at this line of code 289 :

$q[] = "AND (`b`.`start` >= " . $db->q($now);

Replace with

$q[] = "AND (`b`.`start` BETWEEN " . $db->q($now) . " AND date_add(" . $db->q($now) . ", INTERVAL 7 DAY)";

And see how it goes.

Sorry but that limits the display of all events to just those in the next week. We want to be able to show all events but for any that are set up using the "repeat" feature we don't want all of those if they are weekly as it just swamps the page.

img01.png is what you get if I apply that patch - what we are after is to have all the items with a red X (as shown in img02.png) removed from the listing.

Hey Itamar,

Unfortunately that is no simple way to achieve this like what your current requirement.

What i can think of is, add 1 more filter on the event listing page e.g. without recurring event (screenshot : http://take.ms/h2rD4)

If the site user really want to see is there any upcoming event for the upcoming week, they can look at the 'FILTER BY DATE' section, click on those upcoming event (week xx) filter, so it will filter it and show those upcoming event for upcoming week.

By logically, 'all event' filters should contain those recurring event regardless those recurring event start date at upcoming week or monthly.

Thanks although I'm not sure how you would create that filter since the "Repeat" custom field doesn't have an option to make it searchable?

What i mean is we will see if we can do something about it in Easysocial 3.

the "Repeat" custom field doesn't have an option to make it searchable?

Yes, that is current behaviour, may i know what is the reason you would like to make this option? Do you mean you do not want user search those repeat event from the advanced search area?

No, I mean it would be great if repeat event was searchable so then it could be used in filters to show or presumably not show those events.

No, I mean it would be great if repeat event was searchable so then it could be used in filters to show or presumably not show those events.

Yes, currently that is not possible to achieve this.

Look forward to seeing more support for controlling viewing of repeating events in ES 3 then

You are most welcome.
