relative cutoff dates for recurring events

It would be great if we could set the cutoff date to a number of days prior to the event date.

Example: There is a recurring event on every Monday for the next year, which has a cutoff date of 3 days before each event (i.e. register by the Friday prior to each event.)

What do folks think?

Oh Yes, I Exactly look for an option like this... Pleeaaase do it...

Hi

This feature was implemented in the latest version (few days ago). When you create a recurring, assume that you enter event start date and event cut off date for the parent event, then the difference between these two date will be used to calcuate the cut off date for the children event .


For example, of the event start date is 04/26/2011 and the cut off date is 04/23/2011, then the difference between the two dates is 3 days and it will be used to calculate cut off date for the children event . If the next event happens on 05/02/2011 for example, the cut off date will be set to 05/29/2011 (3 days) .

Hope my explanation is clear to you .

Thanks for this modification, I really needed this!

One thing though: This doesn't seem to work for updating child events.
I have created my events already, so I don't want to go through the effort of re-creating 20 events and loosing all registrants.

Can you please make this work so I can just update my child events automatically?

thanks!

You probably have, but when you click on the parent event down on the bottom right hand side of the event there is a button that says "Update Child Event" did you check mark that and click save?

Hi all

"Update Child Event" only allows you to update basic information (description, price....) but It doesn't update children event date. So in this case, I am afraid of you need to update your events manually. Sorry for the inconvenience !

Is there a way to make it update all of the events at the same time. Would make it a lot easier for events that reoccur, especially if you have 4 events that reoccur every day for say 3 months . You the man Tuan! Keep up the good work!

Is there a way to code it to update all of the events?

It is alitle complicated so I think I will leave it until version 1.3.4 !

Works for me! For now I will just make sure I have it right the first time when creating the parent item lol. It really isn't a huge deal, I mean if something changes for now you can always just recreate the parent event and have it reoccur. Easy enough for now
