event every 30 minutes, was created by APOST
Hi,
I have a event (20 min) that repeats only for one day but every 30 minutes, e.g. 09:00, 09:30, 10:00, 10:30.
How can I create it ?
Thanks

I have done this as follows:
1..Create an event as usual (make sure you set the event up correctly as this will be the copy from which all other events are created) and set the start time to 9:00am.
2..Set the title of the event to "MyEvent 9:00am"
3..Press SAVE
4..Now press SAVE AS COPY
5..Change the start time to 9:30am
6..Edit the title to "MyEvent 9:30am"
7..Remove the Alias name

Repeat from step 3 until all events have been added.

I then use the "Upcoming Events" module displayed in a side column.

There may be a better way, but this is the best way I could think of.

Another way is using additional dates plugin, which help setting up it easier, see eventbookingdoc.joomservices.com/miscell...itional-dates-plugin

Thanks Tuan, very useful especially when you are using "Save as Copy" to create lots of events and then find out you made a mistake in the original event and have to alter every one!

Yes Dave. That plugin will make it easier and faster for creating these kind of events :)
