Hey guys, need a bit of a hand again.

So I'm working on a website at the moment, and one of the things I need to do is have an event that allows users to have it to recur from the day it starts but from then on-wards it recurs every day of a weekday (Monday through to Friday) excl. weekends until the event ends. Each day becomes a saved event session. So I'd have to $EventSession->write(); it at the end.

What are some ways to get this going without a hiccup?

I've attached a screenshot to help depict what my situation is.

My EventCalendar module does this out of the box: https://github.com/unclecheese/silverstripe-event-calendar

For a lower level solution, you can look at PHP's DateInterval class.

Thanks UncleCheese,
I'll have a look!

I've just had a look, unless I'm blind like a bat. I can't find what lets you create events that recur every day except the weekend until the event ends. Could you please give me a bit more help? Thanks! :)

Here's a quick screen grab:

Right now, you're a bit of a Jesus. Because now I see the light! Cheers dude :)

I seemed to have read back on this and I failed to explain much clearly the solution I was looking for. Seemed very vague. My bad!

The website I work on doesn't use the event calendar module as a previously existing system is in place which appears to be successful as a solution.

What I was hoping was that an event session dataobject is created for every day from Monday to Friday from a selected date to the end of the weekday. E.g. Somebody wants to select a weekday recurring event from today (12th January) til Friday (16th January). Or start a weekday recurring event that begins from Thursday (15th January) til like 4th June in example.

All these dataobjects would be written on the spot and not run as a task and not literally created on the day of when such dataobject is needed.

Does this make things much clearer or have I dig a bigger hole? Haha!

Cheers,
Stephen
