Well it appears I made a typo, as you can see from some of the code i pasted earlier "recuring" ...2 Rs, fail!

And thanks to Lobo for going through my code and pointing out other problems.

Works now woohoo!

so now that we've gotten past the errors, do u want to describe how the recurring event stuff will work by the addition of a recurring date

i'm more interested in the plan / thoughts than actual code :)

I've written a Drupal 5.x module to approach this problem from a different angle. It doesn't change any database structure. Instead, it clones an event based on a repeat pattern like 'every other week' or 'every third thursday.' Cloned events are almost entirely independent of one another. (excepting location data & Tell-a-friend settings.)

You can get the beta version here:

http://www.ninjitsuhosting.com/files/civirepeat-1.0-beta.tar.gz

Provided with No Warranty and ambiguous licensing, so redistribution is not advised at this time, but you're welcome to use & modify it all you want.

Note that the install hook (which modifies FK's in you civiCRM database) is not widely tested, so you may need to run the contained SQL manually. It should report success or failure on install.

There is minimal dependency on date_api module. I'm working on removing that, but you'll probably still need it.

To clarify the licensing, this currently contains GPL code, so the beta version is GPL'd by infection. I may or may not remove all GPL code & release a final version under a more free license.

What needs to be done to restore the DB on uninstall?

Technically, nothing. I think your database is better off now, as the default behavior was to err on the side of DELETING data that you may want to keep. I consider the install SQL to be a bug fix.

If you really want to revert, run this SQL:

ALTER TABLE civicrm_event DROP FOREIGN KEY FK_civicrm_event_loc_block_id;
ALTER TABLE civicrm_event ADD CONSTRAINT FK_civicrm_event_loc_block_id FOREIGN KEY (loc_block_id) REFERENCES civicrm_loc_block(id) ON DELETE CASCADE;

(Lobo can correct if I'm wrong; he provided the SQL that is run on install.)

Basically, the choices are: When two events share a location, if one event is deleted, should I delete the other events also? CiviCRM says, "yes, delete them all" by default. CiviRepeat changes this to say, "No, only delete the event I've chosen."
