Greetings,

I have set up dotnetnuke in a hospital environment and have had it running for a few months now, with great success.  Currently, I am trying to import our cafeteria daily menus into the events calender, which is working great as well, except for one minor problem.  The menu, works on 21 day cycles, and repeats, but every thursday, is "hamburger day".   So I set up a recurring event for every thursday being such, however, when I recur the other days in the calender, they eventually overlap on thursdays every other month or so in the calender.  Is there a way I can set recurring events to exclude a single day of the week?

Strange question I know, but any help would be appreciated! 

Thanks for your time.

Lukin, sorry but currently there is no way to "exclude dates" in the patterns.  We hope to add this feature in at some point.

So, to understand your use case:

1) be able to exclude days from views
2) be able to exclude dates from an event pattern

Which do you require?  Or would you need both in specific cases?  (we do not plan on implementing nth occurrance with the recurring pattern at this point).

...or, more simply, add an "exclude Hamburger Day" option.

I actually have something slightly similar:
- Store a regular monthly meeting, that I'd like to have bookmarked into the future.
- As the date approaches, I would like to modify the existing (but generic) event with details on the speaker and location and other aspects that change.
Currently I'm not aware that this is possible.

Also, December meetings get cancelled in Christian (or is it XMas?) countries. Schools have summer breaks too. I guess the nice thing woul dbe to have recurring events replaced on occassion with specific events that somehow are managed as a series. Outlook and other apps probably provide models.

Thanks!

John
