Hi, I am in the process of creating a local news site, based on ProcessWire. Among other things, the site will be presenting local events, and I have a question specifically about recurring events. Events (recurring or not) shall be shown in *one* list, like in this example: 10.01.2019 19:30 - Some event (Page #1235) 11.01.2019 17:15 - Another event (Page #1237) 12.01.2019 16:00 - The Final Event (Page #1239) When I have recurring events, I would like to keep these on the same page (using a Repeater field) as shown here: 10.01.2019 19:00 - A Star is Born film, showing in Cinema ABC (Page #1234 holds all occurrences) 10.01.2019 19:30 - Some event (Page #1235) 11.01.2019 19:30 - A Star is Born film, showing in Cinema ABC (Page #1234 holds all occurrences) 11.01.2019 17:15 - Another event (Page #1237) 12.01.2019 20:00 - A Star is Born film, showing in Cinema ABC (Page #1234 holds all occurrences) 12.01.2019 16:00 - The Final Event (Page #1239) The editing interface will use these fields: id title date_start - a datetime field (use for one-time events) time_start - a text field dates - Repeat field with these sub-fields: date_start - a datetime field (use for recurring events) time_start - a text field Listing events by date_start is simple when the site only has run-once events (using the 'date_start' field). But when repeated events enter the picture, it is necesssary to generate all occurrences for each repeated event ('dates.date_start') - and join these with the list of run-once events ('date_start'). I am unsure if that is possible? PS: I am aware that Ryan created an Events fieldtype module, unfortunately the site needs more detail about each event than this module offers so it is easier to create a site-specific set of Event fields.
